Poland | Natalia Zastępa - "Rudy"

SONG OF THE WEEK

Natalia Zastępa is a Polish singer who was born in Krapkowice in 2002. She took part of season 1 of The Voice Kids in Poland (arguably, the kids' talent show to present the biggest amount of talents to a local music scene in any country). She has just released "Rudy", and we are completely hooked. What a display of energy and quality! We couldn't stop listening to it since our first listen: it's our song of the week.

Italy | Davide Merlini - "E' tardi rimani"

BRAND NEW

We are now landing in Italy, to listen to an excellent new song. We are talking about "E' tardi rimani", by Davide Merlini. It's a song that clearly represents Italian pop at its core: it's involving and highly captivating, and the vocal performance is as passionate as one could be. Davide never fails to dazzle us!

Germany | TOCHTER - "Immer wenn"

BRAND NEW

Third time in a row we meet TOCHTER and get addicted to the single they've released. Their new one, "Immer wenn", is absolutely outstanding! The intense beats and the addictive melody work amazingly well together. And the vocal performance, breathtaking, is the cherry on top of it all.

Finland | Faija - "Tobleronea"

BRAND NEW

Faija is the stage name of Aaron Martikainen, a Finnish singer from Helsinki. Meet him with his very entertaining "Tobleronea". It's a song which offers that unique mix of pop, electronic and schlager that only Finland seems to know how to offer to perfection.

About the song, Faija says: "'Tobleronea' tells the story of a traditional Finnish business trip, in which the meeting itself and the core of the trip remain secondary when the bottle of liquor opens. When it is finally time to return home, a bad conscience presses the traveler out of his sip, and to compensate for this, the traveler brings goodies in return. Do what you do, but don't forget the gifts".

Bulgaria | Innerglow - "Little magnets"

RECENT

Todor Kovachev, Peter Zhelev and Matey Hristoskov are Innerglow, a Bulgarian trio hailing from Sofia. We just now came upon "Little magnets", and we couldn't be more thrilled with it: the song is a contemporary synth-infused rock that is rare to find in the region.

Sweden | Eric Saade - "Nån som du"
