Safura - It's My War

Posted 31 July, 2010 - 23:13 by Kristján Sveinsson

Rating: 4.5

At the tender age of seventeen, Safura impressed the majority of viewers with her stunning voice and spectacular, goose bump-inducing performance at the final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Azerbaijan had clearly gained an appetite for success following last year's triumphant 3rd place.

Tom Dice - Teardrops

Who can forget Tom Dice as he stood up there on the stage and sang his heart out for Belgium in this year's Eurovision Song Contest? His entry Me And My Guitar won the heart of many Europeans and this album from him might just do the same.

Fairytale? Has it ended for Alexander Rybak?

Posted 8 July, 2010 - 12:52 by Kristján Sveinsson

Rating: 1.5

Alexander delivers the difficult second album, and seemingly, the odds are stacked against him. How do you top Fairytales? He has been quoted in the Norwegian press recently as saying he couldn't care less what the critics say or how they rate his album.

Olsen Brothers flying high with Eurovision cover versions

Posted 15 June, 2010 - 19:16 by Charlotte Jensen

Rating: 4

It is ten years ago Denmark won the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest. The Olsen Brothers are celebrating that with a brand new album with Eurovision cover versions. On some songs they are true to the original while they on others comes up with a brand new arrangement. It works very well and we are asking for a volume 2.

Paolo releases follow up to 2008's Corro Via

Posted 12 June, 2010 - 16:12 by Kristján Sveinsson

Rating: 4.5

"Could Switzerland be in the running?" was the question on everyone's lips when Paolo Meneguzzi took to the stage in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. Cited by many as one of the favourites to win, the collective dissapointment was tangible when he gave a rather shaky performance on the night. He is however at the top with this album.

Make my day? Maria made my week!

Rating: 5

Maria caused a major stir when she was shockingly and unjustly voted off the Idol show back in 2004. Such was her talent that she nevertheless managed to make a name for herself, achieved a good result at the Eurovision Song Contest and is now out with an excellent third album.

Much anticipated release from Estonian Malcolm Lincoln

Posted 12 June, 2010 - 15:49 by Kristján Sveinsson

Rating: 4

Noone can accuse Malcolm Lincoln of taking the easy road when it comes to musical style. Siren was without doubt one of the most original entries participating in this years contest. The fact that Siren wasn't your immediate bubble gum pop didn't exactly make the entry a fan favourite.

Hera has been one of Iceland's most popular and sought after artists for quite a few years now. Having moved to
Copenhagen, she is also slowly but surely beginning to build herself a wider fanbase in Denmark too.
