Austria: Natália Kelly ”Shine”

Last year they were shaking their popo’s in the giant crystal arena hall in Baku, unfortunately not with the  desired result, leaving the country in the semi last year. This year, the Austrians are hoping young vocalist Natalia Kelly can get them back to the final with her mid-tempo track ‘Shine’.

We’re not sure how this well fare. There’s a little Adele ‘Rolling into deep’ feel noticeable but, it doesn’t quite lift of to the uptempo level of the British songstress which is probably a good thing consider it might get slack for sounding too similar. Not a bad attempt but it leaves us a bit indifferent.

Now a few months later, things are looking even brighter for this young lady, as her latest single ‘Sisters Anthem’ has now been remixed by the famous Soundfactory deejays making the sublime track an even bigger anthem.

The collaboration has been quite the success so far; leading the Swedish iTunes electronica charts, ‘Sisters Anthem’ is turning into a huge hit in the dance charts as well. All good news for Belle who’s currently touring Sweden.

Simple fact; This is just an amazing track, and it’s one of the several versions which can be found on two EP’s for Belle’s ‘Sisters Anthem’ which are both available on Itunes. Go and Grab it!

Jumping between appearing at several national finals in the main European land, the Eurovision winner has recorded a video for the dark pop track ‘Heal’, taken from her debut album. The video is perfect for the song, dealing with the struggles in a relationship. It’s all frosty and moody, and it’s an absolute highlight and delight to see Loreen in yet another amazing video.

Despite the track receiving the video treatment, it’s not been confirmed as a new single as yet. In fact Loreen decided to release ‘In My Head’ as her next Scandi single. There’s no news yet, on what the successor for ‘My heart is refusing me’ will be in the rest of Europe. Though there’s no need for alarm bells as the singer features on Kleerop’s new single which is out worldwide now.

‘Heal’ can be found on Loreen’s debut album ‘Heal’. Watch the video below:

The prospect of London Grammar then releasing their EP on Monday February 25 is yet another exciting release on our schedule. The EP which is called ‘Metal & Dust’ will feature ‘Hey Now’ and brand new track ‘Metal & Dust’ which you can find below.

Once again the production and the silky vocals are making London Grammar a superexciting band for this year. We can’t wait to hear more from this trio!

Listen to ‘Metal & Dust’ below:

But not this lady: UK based Kimberley Kennedy does it all. She’s a singer songwriter, producer and mixer producing some pretty nifty stuff. First introduced to the public last year via ‘The Kym Possible’ mixtape, it was not long before she was receiving rave reviews online and significant radio support (Trevor Nelson, Shawn Campbell to name a few).

And looks like she’s set to do it all over again with the brand new mixtape ‘What The Funk’ which is totally sublime if you ask us. It’s a mixture of amazing vocals, great beats, dubstep, all mixed brilliant with some pure classics. You name it and its there! Make sure you listen to it below and grab it for free, while you can.

And there’s more to come; Details of a forthcoming EP and live dates are coming soon. We are excited!

The track, which was written in a couple of hours one night, over bottles of Scotch Whisky and through rivers of tears and addresses the death of Mark’s parents and of Danny’s father, alternative verses delivered by both singers. The video for the track is footage from live concert mixed with black and white stills of the individual members of the group.

It’s a beautiful ode to the parents of Mark, and Danny’s father, and surely to be yet another big hit for the Irish band. ‘If You Could See Me Now’ is taken from the groups third album, #3 which was released in October 2012 and so far has spawned the singles ‘Hall of Fame’ and ‘Six Degrees of Separation’.

‘If you Could See Me Now’ will be released on March 4. Watch the video below:

Gearing up to release her first EP, ‘It’s over’ on March 24 here in the UK, Beatrice decided to give us a glimpse of what we can expect of her. Judging by new track ‘its Over’ we are pretty sure we are going to love this talented young lady. What a stunner!

‘It’s Over’ is the perfect mix between dark guitar pop, fused with some funk and motown elements. It’s experimental and actually the music we totally love right now. ‘It’s Over’ the EP, features another two tracks, called ‘Definite Mistake’ and ‘Violet Silence’. We are so excited, bring on March!

Watch the video for Beatrice Eli’s ‘It’s over’ below:

‘Almost Home’ is taken from the new Disney film ‘Oz the Great & Powerful’ which stars James Franco, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz as to name a fame. The film is the latest instalment taken from the hit musical ‘The Wizard of Oz’.  The lead single, is full of positivity and aiming not to give up hope.

”When you let your heart be the compass You won’t get lost, not if you trust it When you hear the sound of the trumpet Louder than ever before”

It’s an all toned down Mariah and you know what, we wouldn’t mind her doing more movie soundtracks. Fair enough ‘Almost Home’ might perhaps be a tad to cheesy, to really stand out in the current pop/dance field, yet La Carey proves she’s delivering one of the better tracks,she’s released in the past few years.

The single ‘Almost Home’ is out now worldwide. The video for the track is suspected to be aired in the coming weeks. The film ‘Oz the Great & Powerful’ is set to be shown in theatres beginning of March.

Listen to ‘Almost Home’ below:

The original indie track is being transformed in a massive club track which makes your head spin. The perfect remix for a night out we say.

We can not tell you how excited we are to see this London based trio release Hey Now, in the near future. We’ll keep you posted!

Check out the Dot Major Remix below:

‘Fantasy’ was written and produced by the band and mixed by Tom Elmhirst who’s worked with Adele and Amy Winehouse. Listen to ‘Fantasy’ below:
