Everything about it is very positive!

Netherlands | Chinook - "Dancing in flames"

RECENT

We talked about Dutch artist Chinook when she released the lovely "Go home". Here she comes again with a second and more mature single. "Dancing in flames" is a fantastic pop track, with an explosive chorus and a very infectious melody.

France | Amir - "Oasis"

RECENT

Laurent Amir Khlifa Khedider Haddad is Amir, a French singer who was born in Paris in 1984. Amir's Jewish roots took him to live near Tel Aviv, Israel, since 1992. There, he took part of Kokhav Nolad, a very popular Israeli talent show. He continued his career between Israel and France, ultimately participating in the French version of The Voice, where he finished third. The contrast between Eastern and Western cultures can be fully appreciated in his latest single, "Oasis": the song is a powerful pop with R&B beats and a delightful touch of Oriental sounds.

Norway | SERVED - "Psycho"

BRAND NEW

After shooting to fame with "La meg være ung", Norwegian girl trio SERVED are back with another explosive track. "Psycho" is a perfect summer splash for the cold winter in Europe: a melody which invites to dance your body away!

Lithuania | GJan - "Gossip"

We just can't get enough of the uniqueness of GJan. Her latest single is another explosive track: "Gossip" keeps her path of gifting us with edgy pop, always mingling some electronic beats in the mix.
