Some years ago, we met Venera Lumani and Lindi Islami in a collaboration called "Nata e pare". In the meantime, they established their careers as a duo, and we now came across their most recent single. "Me zemër" brings the unique taste of Balkan ethnic pop in a sultry melody.
Anne-Marie and Niall Horan have teamed up to release one of the sweetest pops you've heard this year. We're talking about "Our song", a track which has a very simple, yet highly charming melody which smoothly combines the voices of both artists.
Icelandic artist Klara Elias returns with a new single. In "Skyline", she brings a pop melody that grows until a climaxing chorus that mixes soft guitar riffs and her silky voice to create a beautiful atmosphere.
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.
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.
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".
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".
"Zitti e buoni" is not the only Eurovision song that is succeeding in the continent: there are others that are also starting to appear in charts across Europe. We now highlight Barbara Pravi's "Voilà", which is #3 in the Netherlands, #10 in Finland, and #18 in Norway and Sweden. But the list goes on and on.
Most of the other songs are going well in their own countries (with some exceptions in the Netherlands and Scandinavia). "Dark side" is #1 in Finland. "Discoteque" is #19 in Finland. "El diablo" in #7 in Finland, #12 in Norway, and #20 in Sweden. "Fallen angel" is #14 in Norway (in its version in Norwegian), and #20 in Finland. "Mata Hari" is #20 in Norway. "Shum" is #17 in Finland, and #19 in the Netherlands. "10 years" is #8 in Finland, and #15 in the Netherlands. "The wrong place" is #1 in Belgium. "Tout l'univers" is #1 in Switzerland, #5 in Finland, and #16 in the Netherlands. "Voices" is #8 in Sweden, and #10 in Norway. And the 2019 winner, "Arcade", is #3 in Portugal, and #16 in Switzerland.
Winning Eurovision has made Måneskin's "Zitti e buoni" start playing all around the continent. As a result, the Italian song is appearing in several national charts. It's #1 in the Netherlands and Sweden, #2 in Finland, Italy, Norway and Switzerland, #9 in Belgium and Germany, #13 in the United Kingdom (the first time in decades that a song in Italian has entered the British charts), and #14 in Ireland.
Serbian star Nataša Bekvalac has just released a new single. And we cannot stress it enough: "Original" is simply irresistible! It's a highly captivating and entertaining Balkan pop song.
