The Bias Record is a Ok-pop weblog that additionally covers a good quantity of J-pop. However similar to most music followers, I take pleasure in tracks from all around the globe. So, I assumed I’d begin a month-to-month round-up of among the non-Ok-pop songs which have caught my ear. No rankings — simply highlights!

Alan Walker – Dancing In Love (ft. Meek)

A brilliant enjoyable disco dance monitor. I actually like the feel of the vocals.

Alek Sandar – Countdown To AI

The title of this music appears like a risk. However reasonably than AI, that is tacky Eurodance.

Bess – Suutele mun silmii

I really feel like half of this month’s record is Finnish pop. Right here’s Bess’s new one: a surging membership monitor.

Craig David – SOS

This has a really nostalgic sound.

Ellie Goulding x Anyma – Hypnotized

This has a trance sound that’s consistent with Goulding’s latest materials.

Erika Vikman – Ich Komme

Finland’s Eurovision choice UMK hit it out of the park this yr, with three songs I’d price 9+. That is the primary, coming from my beloved Erika Vikman. I can’t say sufficient about how spectacular she is, and this music is so thrilling and daring. Actually, it’s most likely too good for Eurovision.

IVXN – Monopol

One other Eurovision hopeful, this time from Croatia. I like the mix of conventional parts and big EDM bombast.

Jade – IT Lady

She’s but to surpass Angel Of My Goals, however this has its moments.

Maria Sur – Comply with

A catchy 80’s pastiche for these within the temper.

Neea River – Nightmares

I’ve been a Neea River mega-fan since she launched her first music on-line in early 2023. So, it’s extremely gratifying to see her happening in UMK and reaching a complete new viewers. Nightmare is dance pop perfection, making each transfer you’d hope from a music like this.

Nelli Matula – Hitaammin hautaan

That is my third 9+ rated monitor from UMK. I hadn’t heard of Nelli Matula earlier than this, however Hitaammin hautaan boasts a whopper of a melody. I like the construction of its refrain – the way in which it surges ahead and whips again in equal vogue. There’s such a satisfying sense of motion and momentum.

Ollie Wride – Want You Nicely

One other stable piece of 80’s synth pop/rock.

Olly Alexander – When We Kiss

That is one other monitor from his upcoming album that’s “virtually there” for me. I’m nonetheless keen to listen to the complete mission, although.

Tream x Mia Julia – Herzblatt (Aua Aua)

This skirts the road between “thrilling” and “annoying.” Sampling an iconic hook from The Buggles’ Video Killed The Radio Star was type of sensible, although.

Victoria Sciberras – Juno

Pure Eurovision drama.
