21 years old, Guatemalan born Dane Soluna Samay recently reached instant fame in Denmark when she won the Danish ticket for the Eurovision 2012 in Azerbaijan in May. But digging beyond the status as TV darling one finds music much more intense and attentive – an almost secret debut album from 2011.
Not counting a single-blurp midway the first pop-tunes (in English) from Danish harmony-champs Nice Little Penguins in six years has reached the stores. The EP ‘Part Of The Way’ takes the band just that far before the release of its sixth full studio expected early 2012.
The first fully accoustic album by one of Britain’s best songwriters, Nik Kershaw, is perhaps the best he ever published. It shows the artist as he really is – no filter, ‘no frills’.
I just found a new band I think might make it onto my list of favorite boys. Super 8 Cynics from my old stomping grounds in Merseyside/Lancashire in the UK.

A complete lack of originallity permeated this year’s edition of the Eurovision Song Contest held in Düsseldorf, Germany. Lots of sharp looking, young people designed to look and sound just like artists like Andreas Johnson, Cher, Take That and Britney Spears et al.
We realized something awful today: Latebar is fiercely dominated by male artists and bands! Wonderful boys, obviously, and we love them all equally! But we need more girls to visit the bar, so on that note, I would like to introduce you to Melissa Polinar. We came across her video “Sing to me” on YouTube, [...]
For some reason one of the side-stories to the annual Eurovision Song Contest is always plagiarism. In 2010 the Danish winner sounded awfully like ‘Every Breath You Take’ by The Police. And this year’s A Friend in London was also under siege just few seconds after they’ve won the Danish qualifier on Saturday.
Just a month and a half short of his 59th birthday one of the world’s most renowned guitarists of the past decades, Gary Moore, passes away.
