Another track that my son have been asking Spotify to stream. To be honest, I did not know this song but it made it to my playlist as more than likely my son is learning this song during music lessons. David Bowie’s “Starman,” released in 1972 as part of his iconic album The Rise and […]
This is one of the first songs I learnt to sing when I was a child thanks to my mother in particular. We used to have this karaoke machine installed in our house and Carpenters were on the tracklist. It recently came back to me because my song started singing this song and I suspect […]
This quirky quartet comes from Russia and unfortunately were unable to compete in Eurovision due to the contest being cancelled in 2020 during the pandemic. Formed in 2013, Little Big is not merely a band; they are a phenomenon, a riotous celebration of music, art, and unapologetic self-expression. Comprising members Ilya Prusikin, Sonya Tayurskaya, Anton […]
I never knew this was a Eurovision winner and never knew the name of the band but recognised the song. Brotherhood of Man is a British pop group formed in the late 1960s. The group originally consisted of Martin Lee, Lee Sheridan, Nicky Stevens, and Sandra Stevens. They gained popularity in the 1970s with their […]

They gained international fame with their controversial image and catchy pop tunes. In 2003, they represented Russia […]
Carrying on about my Eurovision favourites, here is a track from Germany called Satellite. It won when I was living in Netherlands but we have very fond memories of Germany as I lived in Hamburg for about 6 months. Lena, with her captivating charm and infectious energy, took the Eurovision stage by storm with her […]
Another one of my favourite Eurovision act is Lordi from Finland. Although this song is not their official Eurovision entry, the video was like a mini horror movie that stucked in my head. Lordi’s victory in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2006 marked a significant departure from the competition’s typical offerings. With their electrifying performance […]
With Eurovision just a little over a month away, I figured it will be good to share some of my favourites. I tend to lean towards artists that perform in their native languages but a good beat is a good beat regardless. It was towards the end of my student life in the UK and […]
Concluding my posts of artists of Indian Origin, this was a childhood favourite of mine thanks to my eldest sister.

Hailing from […]
