Dutch singer Emma Heesters closes the year with a lovely Christmas-inspired single. "Als de eerste sneeuw valt" is a cheerful take on the genre, shying away from the traditional ballad and delivering, instead, an entertaining and danceable track.
Today is the last day of 2020 when we post new songs. So we decided to take the day to highlight the best Christmas singles which were released this year. We start with the beautiful "Christmas eve", by Danish singer Patrick Dorgan.
Two of the most popular and talented artists of the new generation of the Portuguese music scene got together for a new single. Fernando Daniel and Agir have just released the amazing "Sem ti". Even though they have collaborated before, with Agir having composed "Mágoa", it's the first time they sing together.
"It was a pleasure to work with Fernando and I hope the song will be a success and that, as soon as possible, we can go and sing live together", says Agir. About the track, Fernando explains: "The song has a very beautiful message. It talks about the importance of being close, how a life full of work and anguish can affect others, how much it can distance us from those who are really important and who want us close. But it's free for any other type of interpretation, it's written in a way that people can interpret it their own way, for any kind of relationship".
Italian band Pinguini Tattici Nucleari have just released a new single. It's entitled "Scooby Doo". The song is a groovy pop-rock with a well-paced melody and a very marking chorus.
Liv Dawson is an up-and-coming British singer hailing from London. Her latest single is a real treat to the ears! "Trust issues" is a delicately built pop that highlights Liv's sweet voice while singing "about noticing red flags I'd not felt or seen before in a relationship", as the singer herself comments.
Sounds European! finally remeets Dutch band DI-RECT. We've just got to listen to "Color", and we are completely hooked. It's rock 'n' roll at its purest form: the guitar sounds lead it in a strong and intense path to full enjoyment.
Irish singer Flynn has become one of the highlights of the new wave of European singers. And with singles like his latest one, it's not hard to see why. "I don't wanna love you" is a simple piano-and-voice ballad which talks about a love-hate relationship. It will give you goosebumps!
HJER is the artistic name of Croatian musician, singer and songwriter Hrvoje Krištofić. Meet him with his latest single, "Za nas". It's a wonderful song, with a grandiose melody and a hypnotic chorus.
Sounds European! finally remeets Austrian band Wanda. They have a great new single on offer. It's entitled "Jurassic Park". The song is a fun pop-rock with a delightful melody and a marking chorus.
Thierry Amiel is a French singer born in Marseille in 1982. He found fame after coming second in the very first edition of Idols in his country, back in 2003. In 2019, he released his fourth studio album, "Artéfact", from which his latest single is extracted. We're talking about "La nuit tombe", an intense ballad which explores emotions as only Thierry can do.
