Emre Aydın was one of the first artists ever to appear on Sounds European!, back on the first days of the site, with his hit "Git". Now, he is back with a new single. "Bitti tebrikler" is a very strong pop-rock, with a (as it's usual with Emre's work) marking chorus.

Armenia | Gaby - "Yerani"

Slovenia | Victory - "Skupaj s teboj"

BRAND NEW

Victory is a very traditional Slovene band, from the city of Ljubljana. They have just released "Skupaj s teboj", which is a very entertaining pop-rock. Its melody, mixed with a very cool instrumentation, takes you to get involved by the rhythm and the vocals.

Sweden | Tove Lo - "Not on drugs"

BRAND NEW

Tove Lo (who we tasted some time ago with "Out of mind") is shooting to stardom thanks to her charisma and hypnotic singles. She has not long ago released another fantastic one: "Not on drugs" is a dark pop with the quality she has us used to!

BRAND NEW

It's not the first time that we feature Lily Allen. The diva of British pop is now releasing another single from her latest album, "Sheezus". The song is "As long as I got you", and it is a slight change from her previous singles: from an irony to modern pop to a very country-influenced song!
