Time to get introduced to the project Balavoine(s), which is a tribute to Daniel Balavoine, one of the biggest stars of French music history. Some of the most important names of the current pop scene in France are part of this project, such as Emmanuel Moire, Florent Pagny, Jenifer, Marina Kaye, Nolwenn Leroy and Zaz. Our favorite track of it is Shy'm's version to our favorite track by Daniel, "Vivre ou survivre".

Her song on the latest Albanian National Final for Eurovision, the traditional Festivali i Këngës, was one of the highlights of the night.

United Kingdom | Florrie - "Real love"

BRAND NEW

British star Florrie is always surprising us. Every new single of hers is a clear display of how much she is becoming more and more mature with her pop. "Real love" is an amazing song! The chorus is great and highly effective.

Iceland | ALDA - "Now"

RECENT

Icelandic sweetheart ALDA (who gave us a lovely interview some days ago) took part of the local National Final for this year's Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Now". The soft and uplifting sounds that characterize her music blossomed on stage, taking her to the second place in the competition. The song also has a version in Icelandic, called "Augnablik", which has the same magic of the English one!

Czech Republic | Emma Smetana - "Waiting"

RECENT

Emma Smetana is a Czech singer who was born in Prague in 1988. Only one listening to her single "Waiting" was enough for us to fall in love with it. Its classy instrumentals are a clear highlight, but not the only one: the chorus is very entertaining, and Emma gives an excellent vocal performance.
