Julia Medina is a singer hailing from Cádiz, Spain. She rose to fame as one of the finalists of the 2018 version of Operación Triunfo. And she is launching her music career with a true bang: "Dime" is a soulful pop ballad that shows off all her talents!
Two big names within the British music scene gathered for a great single. Jax Jones and Ella Henderson's "This is real" brings the best of both artists: a super upbeat dance track with vocals to die for. We're hooked!
Malta is having a glorious Eurovision year! After Michela's "Chamaleon" qualified for the final of the senior event, now it's time for their bid to the Junior version. Eliana Gomez Blanco, a 14-year-old singer from the island, will perform "We are more", a compelling synth-pop ballad.
Polish singer Sarsa makes yet another stunning comeback to Sounds European!. Her new single, "Nienaiwne", called our attention for its unique structure and melody, full of alternative realness!
Russian pop diva Polina Gagarina dazzled us again with another great single. "Smotri" shies away from the explosion of pop she has us accustomed to, and delivers instead an in-crescendo pop ballad that is equally charming!

Igor Delač is a Croatian singer from Osijek. We have just got to listen to his single "U krvi si", and it was love at first listen. It's such a strong pop-rock! Its chorus is as catchy as one can be, and it sticks to the head after the very first listen.
Apocalyptica is a band that needs no introduction. They are one of the biggest exports from Finland, having travelled the world with their blend of symphonic and rock sounds and worked with an endless list of huge names within the music industry. They are preparing their comeback album, "Cell-0", and to start promoting it they have released "Ashes of the modern world", a true gem of instrumental sounds.
