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.

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!
