Welcome to your roundup of the newest releases from the world of Eurovision artists and those who entered a National Final.  Santa came early this week and sent me Spotify links from all over Europe of exciting new music.

Aitana – TELÉFONO

We recently brought you news that one half of the ‘Lo Malo’ duet, Ana Guerra, was back with new material. Now the other half, Aitana, is back with a huge new single titled ‘TELÉFONO’.  It’s already rushed to the top of the Spanish Spotify chart and is shaping up to be a worthy follow up smash for the Operacion Triunfo runner-up:

Kristian Kostov – Get it

Your 2017 Eurovision runner up is back and he’s looking to ‘Get it’!  The young Bulgarian came tantalisingly close last year, finishing with a massive 615 points with ‘Beautiful Mess’.  He has released several singles since the Contest but he is yet to score another hit on the Bulgarian charts – will this be his successful return?

Benjamin Ingrosso – I Wouldn’t Know

Sweden’s 2018 Eurovision artist is back and ready to hit the Swedish charts again.  Benjamin’s song ‘Dance You Off’ first claimed the Melodifestivalen crown back in March. He then went on to finish 7th for the in form Swedes at Eurovision.  Hoping to continue his success here is ‘I Wouldn’t Know’:

Aram MP3 – Ver U Var

Aram MP3 was Armenia’s representative in 2014, where he finished a respectable 4th place with 174 points.  He’s back with a new single ‘Ver U Var’, we’re not sure what that might mean in English so any translation welcome!

Laura Põldvere, better known just as Laura, has twice been to Eurovision for Estonia.  Her first attempt was in 2005 as part of the girl group Suntribe, and she was selected again in 2017 where teamed up up with Koit Toome.  Many of you will also know that Suntribe won the 2005 Estonian national final by beating Laura’s solo effort into 2nd place!
