Spain | Vega - "Un golpe"

BRAND NEW

We were thrilled to hear that Vega has a new single! She has just released "Un golpe", a song that plays with classic rock riffs and imposing beats. As Vega explains, "I needed many punches in my chest to come back, to build myself against sorrow, pain frustration, fear and apathy. I started punching my chest to stop crying and get strong almost like a tribal scream. Each punch made me stronger, and this song was born with a punch. As an anthem with which to wake up every day. There was a war to fight: surviving. I won't forget the pain of losing so many people, but I'll punch my chest each time I need to remember that many of us are still here".

Danish singer Medina has a new single! "Lige bange" shows us a different side of hers, delivering a soft, synth-based ballad that explodes in the chorus, all wrapped in a very appealing retro groove. In the song, Medina talks about how "telling others that you can be as scared as relatives is something we share too little with each other. This song has taken me most of my life to put into words. It's okay to be scared and it's okay not to always be the strongest. My dear sister; you make me a better person and I love you every single day".
