Delightful song coming from Estonia! Getter Jaani and Grete Paia gathered with Uku Suviste, singer, songwriter and producer who was born in Võru in 1982, to release "Teemant". Its groovy melody is irresistible, and the chorus is as fun as one can be.
It's time to close this year's review of the 2016 MTV Europe Music Awards nominees who were highlighted on Sounds European! throughout the year. It's a great pleasure to look back and see we are presenting you the best names of the continent year after year.
Continuing the European regional nominations from Norway, you've seen with us:
Sounds European! now continues remembering all names that will be competing for awards on the 2016 MTV EMA, which will take place tonight in Rotterdam, and you have seen here on our site during the year. It's always great to listen to them!
We now start reviewing the regional nominations, focusing (as this site does) on the European categories. The first half of the list of regions will be on this text. The second one will come on a second post, later today.
This evening, Rotterdam is receiving the 2016 edition of MTV Europe Music Awards. And, as it is becoming a tradition of ours before this event, we take the opportunity to highlight: if you are a frequent reader of Sounds European!, you know most of the artists and songs that will be running for the trophies.
As in 2013 and 2014, we decided to take a day to remember all the nominated artists who have been posted here during the year. There will be three posts for it: this first one, for the main categories; the two following ones, about the European regional nominations.
Every time Cypriot singer Giorgos Papadopoulos releases a new single, we know there's something great coming. And this time it was no exception! "Oloi mou lene" is a beautiful ballad filled with Greek traditional sounds and a powerful rock instrumentation in the chorus. No wonder it became our song of the week!
Italian singer Tiziano Ferro has released a very interesting new single! "Potremmo ritornare" is a classic Italian ballad completed with the signature voice of Tiziano. How not to resist to its charm?

Spanish group La Oreja de Van Gogh are enjoying a triumphal return to the international music scene with their highly anticipated album "El planeta imaginario". Last week, they showed us another track which will be included in the release: "Diciembre" is a calm, tender pop-rock song perfect to enjoy a moment under the sun.

British girlband Little Mix bring us a very interesting pop song: "Shout out to my ex" is the kind of simple, catchy and very cool pop that is seldom seen in the United Kingdom. It's impossible not to get caught in the energy the song proposes!
