We are now landing in North Macedonia, to listen to the latest single by Natasha Miha. It's "Se sto znam". It's a well-paced electropop with an imposing chorus and a very strong vocal performance.
British rising star Dylan is back with a new single. We've just got to listen to "You're not Harry Styles", and we are totally addicted to it! It's pop at its best: it's catchy, entertaining and highly addictive.
"'You're not Harry Styles' is a comeback song I wrote after being messed around by someone. It's my way of describing that moment of realisation when it clicks that someone isn't worth the frustration and hurt they're causing you... Especially when they're not of the standard that Harry Styles has set. Writing this song gave me the empowerment to get back my self-worth", Dylan explains.
Bulgarian star DARA has gathered with Matteo, from Romania, to record and release a new single. And let us be very clear: "Call me" is simply awesome! It's impossible not to get caught by its groove.
Once again, we have Hungarian rising stars Viki Békefi and YA OU releasing a single together. It's "Szembeszél". The song is a light pop-rock led by their marvelous vocal performances.

Spain revamped their National Final for Eurovision by bringing back their traditional Festival de Benidorm (now rebranded as Benidorm Fest). It took place last week, and we couldn't be more impressed by the whole show!
Take Varry Brava as an example. The trio from Orihuela participated with "Raffaella", a song obviously inspired by the great Italian star Raffaella Carrà. It is as cheerful as you could guess: a celebration of pop, indie and synth sounds with lyrics that go "Te quiero, torero". How can you not smile with this? You can check their live performance here.
