The most promising new artists of Eurovision 2015
Participating in the Eurovision Song Contest can be a great start to a long lasting career. Ask Abba, Céline Dion and more recently Loreen and Lena. In this year’s contest we were treated to a lot of fresh talent and brand new artists. I made a list of the artists I expect most from in the near future. Mind you, I did not include established pop acts like Guy Sebastian, Il Volo and the winner Mans Zelmerlöw, who have all been successful at least in their home country for some time.

On thursday night, Europe chose another ten finalists for the Eurovision Song Contest of 2015 that takes place in Vienna, after Conchita’s victory last year.

Interview Maraaya: ‘We want people to feel what we feel during our performance’
Slovenia chose a married couple to represent the country this year. The duo Maraaya won the national final with the catchy song ‘Here For You’. A 13th place by Maja Keuc in 2011 is the best Slovenian result in 10 years and there are high hopes that Marjetka and Raay will top this, as their song is in top 10 with the bookmakers. But what is it like to go to Eurovision as a married couple? And do they feel the weight of the hopeful Slovenian people on their shoulders?
Interview Måns Zelmerlöw: ‘I never gave up on the dream to represent Sweden in Eurovision’
Måns Zelmerlöw will represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest. Once again, the country is one of the favourites to win the whole show. Zelmerlöw’s song ‘Heroes’ is the number one of the bookmakers ever since he won the Swedish national final Melodifestivalen. I spoke to Måns about what it feels like to be the one to beat, why he chose to come back to Melodifestivalen after two earlier attempts and what is upcoming album will sound like.
Album of the Week: Ann Sophie – Silver Into Gold
REVIEW:
Ann Sophie is the German contestant of the Eurovision Song Contest of 2015 in Vienna. She will sing her outstanding soulful pop track ‘Black Smoke’ in the big final, but she proves she is not a one trick pony on her debut album Silver Into Gold that she just released. The record could be described as a mix between pop and soul with strong vocals and enough diversity in terms of style of the songs.
