We are now landing in Italy, to listen to a new release by The Kolors. "Leoni al Sole" is a song that explores the current wave of retro pop, but offering a whole different trip into the genre. With it, you enjoy the sexy synth-and-sax feeling we were used to listen during the '80s. And the result is amazing!

Spanish artist Marmi is back with a new release. We are talking about "Todo lo que soy". It's an exciting rock song with a strong melody and a very imposing vibe.
Tom Grennan is back with an outstanding new single. It's "Don't break the heart". With it, Tom is showing once again that he is today's main name in the singer-songwriter genre. What a song, what a melody, what a chorus! Everything is stupendous: it's our song of the week.
Sounds European! finally remeets French artist Juliette Armanet. She has just released "Le dernier jour du disco". It's a song that starts off light and smooth, basically on piano and voice, and then suddenly boom: surprise! A shower of disco sounds and intense joy takes over the melody (and our hearts). The result is awesome!
Belgian artist Mustii returns to our site with a great new single. In "Give me a hand", he delivers another raw sample of his alternative style, mixing pop and rock with a retro flavor that just melts in your ears. It's a fantastic track!
Polish singer Natalia Zastępa returns to Sounds European! to share "Błysk". The song is a haunting midtempo pop track which lets Natalia show us her captivating vocal skills. In the song, she talks about how we don't always feel confident in the moment we're living, but we come across a "flash" in our lives that becomes our motivation in moments of doubt. The track is included in Natalia's debut album, "Nie żałuję".
Spanish band Despistaos are back! They have recently released "Cuando te olvides de mí", a rock ballad with pop traces that talks about "those impossible love stories that make you lose your mind and turn your world upside down".
HAWXX are Anna, Hannah, Jess and Iman, a group of women based in London but hailing from Greece, Wales, England and Bahrain. They bring a unique taste of powerful social commentary wrapped in heavy rock tunes in their new single, "Death of silence".
Inspired by the Me Too movement, the band comments that the song "means the death of shame. Shame has deeply shaped us as a society and erodes our capacity for real systemic change. To fight and speak out against those that silence us creates a movement and momentum that is contagious. Nothing can stop it. This is a song of solidarity, a song about finding the power in our voice, our words instead of our collective shame and fear".

We are used to Helene Fischer's upbeat take on schlager-infused pop. But with her latest single, she reminds us that she also knows how to handle a ballad. In "Volle kraft voraus", she envelops her powerful voice in a beautifully crafted instrumentation, which all helps convey the message of the song.
As Helene commented, "It's about the confidence, courage and determination to move forward, accepting change and seeing it as an opportunity. With this song, I want to give you hope that we can't stop the change of life and only rediscover the confidence that we are meant to be". The track will be included in Helene's upcoming album, "Rausch", out in mid-October.
