Robbie Williams has just released a highly entertaining Christmas track, and we are closing our special day dedicated to songs for the holiday with it! "Can't stop Christmas" is exactly what you are expecting: he put his humorous take to reflect on the hardships of 2020 and how we could take these days to purge ourselves from all this madness. Of course he would come up with such a clever single!

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".
