Summer 2020 Releases

Hello friends!

Summer 2020 is coming to an end, no matter how hard it is to realise. This was definitely a different summer, but it made me appreciate the joys and beautiful places that UK has to offer. Summer doesn't always mean sun and sea, it can mean rain and thunders with lots of beers and amazing albums! There were many great albums released by great bands this summer, and in this post I will wave summer goodbye with some of my favourite summer 2020 releases.


1. 'A Hero's Death'- Fontaines D.C (31st July 2020, Partisan Records)

The band's second album, after their successful, Rough Trade's album of the year Dogrel.Everyone was waiting for the Dublin punk-rockers to release new material, and they didn't disappoint. A Hero's Death has a more melancholic sound,memorable tunes with meaningful lyrics that can bring you down. But "Life ain't always empty".



2.'So When You Gonna'-Dream Wife (3rd July 2020, Lucky Number)

Probably the most girl-empowering album ever, which was entirely produced by a team of womxn. So When You Gonna is full of feminist punk anthems with amazing guitar riffs but at the same time it contains emotional honest lyrics, covering important topics that women encounter such as miscarriages, abortions and body shaming. Dream Wife is a band full of energy and positive vibes, telling all womxn to follow their heart, stand for their values and don't be ashamed of anything!




3. 'The prettiest curse'- Hinds (5th of June 2020, Lucky Number)

The Prettiest curse is the 3rd album by the Spanish garage-rockers and it's characterized by a pop-approach, lots of synthesizers, backing vocals and girl-power. Also for the first time they included their native language in the lyrics, reminding the people where they come from and their original identity. 




 

4. 'Deep Down Happy'- Sports Team (5th of June 2020, Island Records)

The long-awaited debut studio album of Sports Team, which lost the number 1 rank on UK albums chart to Lady Gaga's Chromatica. It was released during summer for a reason, since its full of energetic up-beat songs that only remind you of British summertime. 

                                                                        💜💜💜💜

It has been a great musical summer with many promising releases from great bands! There are many more amazing albums that have released, but I need to learn how to choose and also how to keep my posts short. I really recommend listening to these albums if you haven't , it's going to be a great way to start your autumn! 

Wishing you a great weekend and an even greater bank holiday!

 

Lots of love,

Sofia

London Eurovision Party

Εικόνα
Good evening Europe, good morning Australia! A few days left for the biggest music event in the world, and I cannot wait any longer! Always the months waiting for the contest fly by, but as soon as the last week approaches times moves so slowly and the day seems endless. I call it the Eurovision Timing Effect. As I mentioned in my last post, I attended the London Eurovision Party on the 16 th of April, the last official pre-party before the show! A Eurovision pre-party is a party where some of this year’s contestants and previous Eurovision stars perform their entry song but also some of their hits. It was held at HERE at Outernet , an underground venue in the heart of central London and it was filled with eurofans from all over the world. I can’t imagine how magical Liverpool will be next week! In this post I will share some photos from the party. Grab a brew and let’s go!  💛💙💛💙💛💙💛 The party started with performances from many Eurovision veterans including KEiiNO (No...

Εικόνα
Happy Sunday everyone! As we are getting closer to the contest the odds are on fire and people have already started placing their bets on this year’s winning song (if you want to learn more about how odds are calculated see my blog post here ). In today’s post I will write about the top 5 songs that are currently parked at the top of the odds chart. That doesn’t mean they will 100% win, or that they are the people’s favourites, but they stand a high chance of getting the treasured title of Eurovision winner. Grab a brew and here we go.  💙💛💙💛💙💛💙 1.    1.  Sweden This is not an unusual place for the Eurovision titan, which every year lands on the top 5 of the odds. This year though it is the bookmakers favourite to win, with the Eurovision legend Loreen making a strong return, determined to experience victory again! Of course you know Loreen from winning the 2012 contest with the hit ' Euphoria' , which is voted every year as the fans favourite Eurovisi...

United by music

Εικόνα
Hello everyone and happy Wednesday! It is only 76 days to Eurovision 2023 and many countries have selected their entry song through their national competitions. Also the logo and slogan of the contest has been revealed, and in this post I will write about the background of that selection and also take a trip to Eurovision slogans through the years! 💙💛💙💛 European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has reveled the slogan and theme artwork for this year's contest end of January, which is ' United By Music '. The new slogan demonstrates the unique partnership of this year's contest between the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Host City Liverpool. It is the first time when the winning country won't host the contest due to the unfortunate event of the war (there have been 6 previous occasions in which a different nation hosted due to financial reasons). This slogan shows the collaboration of the two countries to bring the ESC to audiences across the globe and the incredible power of...
