Inna - Endless

Romania's very own Inna is back with a new single taken from her second album 'I Am The Club Rocker'. The track is definitely stepping away from the typical Inna sound but nevertheless it is still dance music and it's produced by Play & Win. It will be interesting to see how this one does, as her last couple of single have not been as successful as some of her previous singles.

Livin' Joy - Just For The Sex of It

Time for a bit of a blast from the past. Livin' Joy were an Italian production team with American vocalist Janice Robinson (who sang on 'Dreamer') and later on Tameka Starr. Livin' Joy had some success in the 90s with all their singles reaching the top 20 in the UK, three of those were top ten hits. I believe this track was intended to be released in 1999 but the release was cancelled due to lack of interest (I reckon it just wasn't played on radio stations because of the title!). Such a shame because I think they had a lot more to give. I know that "Livin' Joy" were doing some UK club gigs a few years ago with a different singer.

Loreen - Sober

Sweden's very own Loreen, is back with another amazing track. Her vocals are powerful and full of emotion, just like 'My Heart is Refusing Me'. The track actually sounds like it could have been a ballad and has been remixed. The violin instrumental at the very start of the track reminds me of Dannii Minogue's 'Disrememberance'. I think Loreen is onto a winner. Bring her to the UK please!

Crush+ Alexandra - I Need U More

Here's a track from some more Romanians. This time they're called Crush+ Alexandra. It's got 2.7 million views on YouTube so it's obviously doing alright. I don't know much else about this act apart from that I think the female singer looks a bit like Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson! Enjoy!

Gala - Lose Yourself In Me

Here's one of my favourite Italian acts. I love the fact that Gala dares to be different, and sticks by her music lyrics "I've never done as I've be told"! Her 'Tough Love' album showed a bit more of an edgy and rocky side to Gala. She performed in Beirut a few weeks ago and a radio station there previewed 'Lose Yourself in Me'. I don't know whether it will get an actual release, but it would be nice and an official video would also be great.


The video has since been removed from YouTube - Sorry!

Aqua - Playmate To Jesus

I haven't really been a fan of Aqua's recent music, but I saw this video on YouTube earlier today and I quite like this one. It's a slow tempo track with some lovely vocals from Lene. This track reminds me a little bit of Lene's 'Pretty Young Thing', which isn't a bad thing at all. I wonder if Aqua plan to go global again. Check out her shoes...how somebody can even stand in those shoes is beyond me!

Agnes - Don't Go Breaking My Heart

My favourite Swede of the moment is back with an awesome track. From what I've read it's already number 1 on Swedish ITunes, so looks like it's going to be a hit there anyway. I wonder if the UK will get a release? 3 Beat/AATW better start planning some good promotion if they are still working with Agnes.
