Spain | La Oreja de Van Gogh - "Verano"

BRAND NEW

Some weeks ago, Spanish band La Oreja de Van Gogh announced a new single and album coming. The hype couldn't grow bigger, and after listening to the single we can understand why. "Verano" keeps the classic sound pop-rock sounds of the band, but adds a touch of synth and electronic beats to give it a very interesting twist.

JereMaya is the stage name of Jeremiah John, singer who was born in Abu Dhabi, capital city of the United Arab Emirates. He has released "Everything about you" along with Børge, Norwegian musician from Mosterhamn (with whom he used to form the duo JandB). It's a very entertaining song. It has some retro spices which made us remember of the best pop-rocks of the 1990s and 2000s. We love it!

North Macedonia | Tamara Todevska - "Trofej"

OLDIE

Even though "Trofej", by Macedonian star Tamara Todevska, was published more than one year ago, the local radios are only presenting it as a single now. And, despite not being the newest song ever to be presented here, Sounds European! could not ignore it: it's a masterpiece of pop music! The melody is great, the chorus is completely contagious and Tamara is, as usual, outstanding in it. We love it!
