Denmark | Jada - "Something to say"

BRAND NEW

We are now landing in Denmark, to listen to a brand-new single by Jada. She has just released "Something to say". It's a well-paced indie pop song, with a great, groovy R&B-infused chorus. We love it to bits!

"This song is about being in a relationship with someone but you feel like there is a distance between you. They took a step back and you don't know why. It's about intimacy, attraction and how you have to say the hard stuff inside of you out. This song really means a lot to me, because it's essential that there is honesty and trust between me and the people I love. I can have a hard time expressing my own thoughts and feelings sometimes but we have to do it, I think. It only makes us better, closer and stronger", Jada says.

Austria | Nathan Trent - "Underwater"

BRAND NEW

Time to check up on Nathan Trent! He has just released an introspective new single. Entitled "Underwater", it is a soft pop ballad that is very close to Nathan.

In his own words: "I've struggled in silence for a long time with doubts and anxiety, because I never thought it was that important to talk about it. I thought it would go away anyway, so I just kept going without taking a step back and realizing that I was not doing well. Writing this song helped me to understand a lot about how I handle things. And given the fact that it came to life so naturally, I want to dedicate 'Underwater' to everyone who feels alone and confused with their thoughts. Also, I want to shine a light on the fact that communication is crucial. When you're having bad thoughts, a bad day, doubts, anxiety or you’re all in all not feeling well, don't ignore it, don’t play it down. Talk to friends and family, teachers, mentors or get professional help. You deserve to feel good, you deserve to be happy".
