Finland | Eroma - "Tuhat kilometrii"

BRAND NEW

Virpi Eroma is a Finnish singer born in Kotka in 1981. We've got to meet her talents in "Tuhat kilometrii", her most recent single. The track is a sweet, mid-tempo pop in which she talks about friends taking care of each other, providing the support that lets them feel they are not alone.

Spain | Xuso Jones feat. Bombai - "Tequila"

BRAND NEW

There wouldn't be a summer without Spanish-flavored bangers. And that's exactly what Xuso Jones and Bombai bring in "Tequila"! Their collaboration is an explosive mix of Latin sounds that will have you swaying along in a heartbeat.

Germany | Marie Reim - "Rosarote brille"

BRAND NEW

German singer Marie Reim returns with her fun approach to schlager pop in a new single! We're talking about "Rosarote brille", a song in which she plays with a less explosive, yet equally engaging, melody. The song is part of Marie's debut album, "14 phasen".

United Kingdom | Mantaraybryn - "Tantalus"

BRAND NEW

Mantaraybryn is the stage name of Bryn Evans, an artist hailing from Cornwall. We've just met his incredible talent in his comeback single, "Tantalus", a marvelous mix of imposing sounds that combine synth, alternative and pop beats to create a uniquely potent melody.

About the track, Mantaraybryn says: "Tantalus as a character in mythology lives with perpetual thirst and hunger, with no relief. I felt like him when taunting myself by still hoping for something with this ex, when it was clear I didn't have a future with him. The song is rage directed inwardly and then sent out in an explosive song".
