New music this week: Songs from NAPA, EMMY, Mamagama and more

Eurovision 2025 may have come to a conclusion, but the music will always continue. A number of Eurovision artists are thankfully still producing new music for us to enjoy.

Contrary to the commonly perpetuated myth about the song contest killing careers, we’re always thrilled to report that singers associated with Eurovision are thriving.

Here is our latest weekly roundup with a selection of the songs released recently by Eurovision stars.

New music from Eurovision artists: 2025 | Week 22

NAPA feat. Van Zee – “Infinito”

NAPA, the indie rock band from Portugal who proudly represented their country this year and brought the Portuguese flag to the Grand Final, returns this week with a heartfelt collaboration alongside Van Zee. Their new song, “Infinite,” features perfect vocal harmonies and an ethereal sound that captivates from the first note. The track is accompanied by a poignant music video that takes you on a nostalgic journey, inspired by true events. It serves as a beautiful homage, encouraging you to cherish the important people in your life even more.

About the song, NAPA’s frontman said:

I met Sebastião while playing soccer at my cousin’s birthday parties. I was the older cousin and he was the best friend. Without knowing it, the slices of cake, the orange bongs and the improvised goals started the path of this song. Years later, the inconceivable news arrived. My cousin’s pure and contagious joy gave way to despair and confusion. The light that illuminated our days was fading, until it was extinguished. 9 years later, music brought my path together with Sebastian’s again to honor his memory.

EMMY – “Legends”

EMMY, the Norwegian singer who represented Ireland in this year’s Eurovision, has released a brand-new song called Legends. The cover art is especially meaningful—it features the eyes of her listeners, as she invited her fans to collaborate by submitting photos for it.

This uplifting pop track celebrates the idea that everyone is a legend in their own right, and that the eyes hold the hidden beauty and stories of each person.

mamagama – 37

Mamagama, who represented Azerbaijan in this year’s Eurovision, has just released a 4-track EP entirely in English. The EP blends modern sounds with retro influences, showcasing the band’s signature authentic style that fans adore. Some listeners may recognize the tracks from when Mamagama opened for OneRepublic, but the EP offers a fresh experience, distinct from their Eurovision entry—which is not included here. The band is clear that they don’t want this EP to be compared to their Eurovision song.

According to Mamagama, the EP features music meant to simply accompany you through life. It includes a track about breaking free (“I Don’t Wanna Be Yours”), an anthem of confidence (“Stronger Than Storm”), some romantic vibes (“Closer”), and a song designed to make you sing unapologetically loud (“Bla, Bla, Bla”).

Francesca Michielin – “FRANCESCA”

Francesca represented Italy in Eurovision 2016, and since then, Eurovision fans have enjoyed seeing her compete multiple times at Italy’s Festival di Sanremo, including this year. Her newest song is an energetic and vibrant anthem that feels like a heartfelt letter to your younger self.

The song encourages breaking free from limiting labels like “a rude little doll, too predictable” or “a girl who lost her mind,” and embracing the freedom to live life on your own terms—happily and unapologetically.

Pastora Soler – “No quiero flores”

Pastora, who represented Spain in 2012, returns this week with one of the most powerful ballads on the playlist. The song, titled “No Quiero Flores” (translated as “I Don’t Want Flowers”), is accompanied by a beautifully aesthetic music video filled with flowers—yet the message is clear: Pastora isn’t asking for material gifts but for lasting feelings that grow over time.

Pastora explains that the song is:

A cry for lasting love, for love that pulls from strong roots, for love that isn’t demonstrated with a bouquet of flowers, for love that isn’t taken for granted… for love that doesn’t let itself die.

KALUSH & Blockbaby – “Більше менше”

KALUSH, led by Oleh Psiuk, won Eurovision for Ukraine in 2022 as part of Kalush Orchestra. This week, he continues his mission to collaborate with as many Ukrainian artists as possible, teaming up with Blockbaby for his latest release.

The new song, titled “More Less,” is a heartfelt anthem about true love—one that grows stronger each day, always bigger than yesterday but still smaller than tomorrow. As the lyrics beautifully put it: “I love you more than yesterday / But less than tomorrow.”

About the message of their new song, Oleh said:

This is more than just a song. It’s a story about true love – sincere, deep, stronger every day. “I love you more than yesterday, but less than tomorrow” is a line in which everyone will find themselves. When “two I’s” become “we”, hearts beat in unison, despite distance, trials and time.

Alfred García – T’estimo es te quiero

Alfred represented Spain in Eurovision back in 2018, in a heartfelt duet with Amaia. This week, he’s back with a brand new romantic album titled I Appreciate and Love You. It’s a collection that truly has it all—Spanish summer vibes, Catalan musical influences, pop tracks, shades of rock, rumba, flamenco, and Latin sounds—all packed into eight tracks.

Some of the songs may already be familiar, having been released as singles, such as “T’estiu” (I Summer You), but the album also brings plenty of fresh material. Tracks like “Llamas en el cielo” (Flames in the Sky) and “Rumba Catalana” (Catalan Rumba) promise to get you dancing.

The album features two standout collaborations as well. One is with Álvaro Soler on “Estrella” (Star), a track that forges an impressive musical connection between the two artists and delivers a true fiesta spirit. The other is with Carlos Sadness on “El meu destí” (My Destiny), a moving love song that adds that emotional layer to the album.

Bloody Hawk feat. Marina Satti – “De Fovame”

Marina Satti, who represented Greece at Eurovision last year, returns with a bold new collaboration featured on Bloody Hawk’s latest album. This time, she steps into the world of Greek hip hop, bringing something truly fresh to the music scene. The track, titled “We Are Not Afraid” in English, is fierce, raw, and unapologetically powerful. With intense rap flows and fearless energy, the song is a brave artistic statement.

Lord Of The Lost – “I Will Die In It”

Lord of the Lost, the iconic German rock band who represented Germany at Eurovision 2023, are back with a brand-new original track that’s sure to thrill their fans. Known for their bold sound and theatrical edge, the band returns to their roots with a song that captures their signature rock energy.

After several musical collaborations, this solo release feels like a triumphant homecoming. Accompanied by a long-anticipated music video—filmed back in January—the track finally sees the light of day, much to the excitement of their devoted following. The song will be featured on their upcoming album, Opus Noir Vol. 1, slated for release this August. 

Yianna Terzi – SIMADIA

Yianna, who represented Greece in Eurovision 2018, is back with a powerful new EP that deeply connects listeners to Greek tradition with an electro twist. Across five tracks, she invites us into a world that feels like living through a modern Greek legend, raw and deeply authentic.

The title track, “Simadia” (Signs), draws on folk influences but is infused with a contemporary twist that gives it a fresh and compelling edge. The EP also features notable collaborations: Billie Kark lends her voice to “Hasa” (Loss), while Lionder joins Yianna on “Sou Lene” (Telling You), a track that boldly delivers feminist truths. About her EP, Yianna said:

All the songs of “Simadia” were born from a real inner need. A need to connect, to share. I sing about despair, anger, restart, desire and being a woman. They are the paths that “Simadia” left me, all told in lyrics and notes from the West and the East in marriage with this Electro-Ethnic Pop sound. It is the return to myself, which I call the beginning…

Ana Rucner – “Raci osam”

Ana, who represented Bosnia and Herzegovina in Eurovision 2016 alongside Dalal, Deen, and Jala, is back with a truly delightful and unexpected new song! Her latest release, “Say Eight”—titled in Croatian, reflecting her heritage—shows off her playful side, while of course featuring her signature instrument: the cello.

This charming children’s song was released just in time for International Children’s Day on June 1st. It blends fun with education, helping kids learn to count to eight. The twist? Though the title is Croatian and the music video was filmed and produced in China, the song actually teaches children to count in Italian—complete with an enthusiastic “Mamma Mia!” that adds to the fun. (And actually they can learn to count to ten).

With snippets of well-known classical music woven into the melody, it’s as educational as it is entertaining. The song will also be featured on Ana’s upcoming album Balkanija.

Jérémie Makiese – PARANO”

Jérémie, who represented Belgium at Eurovision in 2022, is back with a fierce new track sung in French. While its addictive sound grabs you instantly, the song also tackles an important and timely theme: financial pressure.

Through sharp lyrics and raw emotion, Jérémie explores how the constant chase for money can weigh heavily on a person—not only impacting daily life but also straining relationships and love. It’s a powerful reflection on modern struggles, wrapped in an irresistible beat. The release is accompanied by a creative music video with a captivating storyline that adds even more depth to the song’s message.

Elina Nechayeva – DREAMS

Elina delighted us all with her enchanting performance at Eurovision 2018, where she proudly represented Estonia. With her newest album, Dreams, she invites us into a world of elegance and emotion. The album is yet another testament to her brilliance as an opera artist—if you’re seeking class, sophistication, and vocal excellence, this is the perfect pick.

Across the 12-track album, Elina blends original compositions with operatic interpretations of well-known songs. Listeners will recognize powerful renditions of “Jolene” (Dolly Parton, 1974), “You Raise Me Up” (Secret Garden, 2001), and “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” (KISS, 1979).

She also explores new sounds through exciting collaborations. “Hola Mi Hola Va,” a vibrant Latin original, features Mario Reyes, while “I Love Christmas,” a cheerful holiday tune created with The Twinces, brings in early festive joy. Throughout the album, she is joined by a full orchestra.

Elina has also released a music video for her moving cover of Smalltown Boy (Bronski Beat, 1984), about which she says:

“Smalltown Boy”  is more than just a cover — it’s a journey of courage, identity, and finding your voice. Singing this iconic song with a full orchestra was electric… I felt every word, every note

Sunstroke Project & SLAMJAKE – “Fireshow”

Sunstroke Project, the iconic Moldovan group known for their Eurovision appearances—first in 2010 alongside Olia Tira, and again in 2017 when they secured an impressive 3rd place—are back with a brand-new release. This time, they’ve teamed up with Slamjake for a high-energy collaboration that blends rap with an irresistibly catchy chorus.

From the very first seconds, the song hooks you with lines like “Bam like a bubble gum” and “Roll like a rock ’n’ roll,” making it nearly impossible not to move along. And yes—the legendary Epic Sax Guy is back, once again slaying the track with his signature saxophone riffs.

The Busker – “Something in My Head”

The Busker, the trio who represented Malta in Eurovision 2023, are back this week with a burst of good vibes and confidence. Their new single is an uplifting, saxophone-driven track that radiates optimism. It’s all about escaping overthinking, embracing the moment, and holding onto hope for brighter days ahead.

The lyrics reflect this spirit beautifully: “Breathe in to new days, every day is paradise. I’ve put on my new shoes, ready to jump to newest heights. Lie down where the grass is greener, wondering at the bluest skies.” The song encourages listeners to let go and live freely. A lyric video accompanies the release, making it easy to sing along and fully soak in the positive energy.

Red Moon – “Thermochromatic”

Red Moon is the new stage name of Debrah Scarlett, who represented Norway at Eurovision 2015 alongside Mørland. Her latest release is a stunning alternative track that blends genres and sensations into a hypnotic musical experience.

The song delves into the emotional and physical connection between two people—how someone can affect you deeply, both mentally and physically. With poetic lyrics like: “And I feel alive / When our bodies shape a new kind of colour / And I feel alive when our minds make a new kind of wonder / Each touch is a thermochromatic sensation,” Red Moon captures an intense intimacy that resonates on multiple levels.

Let yourself get swept away by the song’s hypnotic powers—and don’t miss the breathtaking visuals of the accompanying music video.

JOWST & Lotte Lee – “Caught In a Daydream”

JOWST, who represented Norway in Eurovision 2017, are back with a fresh and dreamy collaboration—this time with indie rock artist Lotte Lee. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when indie rock meets electronic music, this track gives you the answer.

The song explores the feeling of being lost in a daydream, when your thoughts blur the line between imagination and reality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of those moments when dreams seem to take over your mind, making the real world fade effortlessly into the background.

JOWST said about their new release:

Waldo’s People – “La Fiesta”

If you listened to the song without knowing who’s behind it, you’d probably assume it’s by a Spanish or Latin artist. But surprise—it’s actually Waldo’s People, who represented Finland in Eurovision 2009! And if you understand Finnish, you might catch on, since part of the song includes lyrics in Finnish.

Despite its origins, the track is a full-on Latino dance club banger, all about “getting your ass on the dance floor.” It’s a high-energy, feel-good anthem designed to start a fiesta—and it delivers. With infectious beats and a fiery rhythm, Waldo’s People have crafted the perfect summer hit, guaranteed to bring the fiesta wherever it plays.

Stig Van Eijk – “Parken”

Stig, who represented Norway at Eurovision in 1999, is back with a powerful new track titled “The Park,” an evocative rap song that carries a deeply meaningful message. In this latest release, Stig speaks out in solidarity with those who seek help but are instead met with marginalization and exclusion. Through raw lyrics and emotional delivery, his song sheds light on the often overlooked struggles of vulnerable individuals in society.

Explaining the meaning behind the song, Stig said:

I feel a deep sadness on behalf of everyone who faces inhuman challenges in life. Life is not fair – and for many, everyday life is characterized by struggle, loneliness and exclusion.

With the song “Parken”, I want to shine a spotlight on those who are often overlooked – drug addicts who live in an unsafe everyday life. This is an honest portrayal of life on the edge. A reality that for many is painful, complicated and characterized by far too little humanity.

“Parken” is my contribution to the public conversation about drugs, exclusion and empathy. A song that is both moving and challenging – and that reminds us all that we have a responsibility to each other. Not just as fellow human beings, but as a society.

MARO – “Cais”

Maro represented Portugal at Eurovision back in 2022. This week, she returns with a new song, titled “Pier” in English. The track has a mysterious and authentic sound that beautifully echoes folk music traditions, with Maro’s mesmerizing voice floating effortlessly above it all.

The song is an MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) composition and part of a collective project where numerous artists have come together to celebrate Milton “Bituca” Nascimento—one of the most influential Brazilian musicians in history. The song Maro covers was originally released in 1972 and is one of Bituca’s most iconic works.

The entire project is a tribute album, featuring reinterpretations of his most beloved songs. Bituca, as he is affectionately known, has also been one of Maro’s greatest musical inspirations, making her contribution especially heartfelt.

Rene Froger feat. Bizzey – “Kleine Wasjes, Snelle Wasjes”

René, who represented The Netherlands in Eurovision 2009 as part of De Toppers, is back with a surprising and fun collaboration. This week, he teams up with rapper Bizzey to release “Small Washes, Fast Washes”—a joyful, summer-inspired song all about washing machines and doing laundry.

With its lighthearted lyrics and a melody that sounds straight out of a colorful kids’ animation, the track is guaranteed to boost your mood—and maybe even motivate you to clean the house. Unsurprisingly, the song doubles as a catchy commercial for Robijn Quickwash.

Tijana Bogicevic – “Zovi me kad ti se place”

Tijana, who represented Serbia at Eurovision in 2017, is back this week with a track that’s sure to get you dancing—“Call Me When You’re Crying.”  If you’re going through tough times in your relationship, this empowering, rhythmic, and summery anthem might just be what you need.

With bold energy and a no-nonsense attitude, Tijana makes it clear she’s not settling for less. The song celebrates self-worth and emotional strength, wrapped in an infectious beat.

The music video adds to the experience with a cinematic twist—set entirely on a film set, it blurs the lines between reality and performance in a stylish, story-driven way.

About the song, Tijana said:

 “Call me when you’re crying” is a song that brought a smile to my face again after a year full of challenges. I was impatient to record it and sing it to you, so I sang it with the piano at a concert in Nis a few months ago. Even then I knew that we had created something beautiful, even though I misled you a little into expecting another ballad, I am very happy that you liked the song in this arrangement as well.

Koit Toome – “Vaid Eemalt”

Koit, who represented Estonia alongside Laura in Eurovision 2017, returns this week with a new pop-rock track titled “Only From Afar.” The song captures the emotional weight of being separated from loved ones—not by choice, but by circumstance. It’s a heartfelt reflection on distance, longing, and the quiet pain of missing someone deeply. The music video suggests a powerful longing, especially from a parent’s perspective, and leaves a lasting impression:  “Wandering alone in a strange city / I found myself thinking again / When you called me late last night, you asked how much longer will it take to return? / I said close your eyes, I’m already on my way.” The music video also adds an even deeper emotional layer, subtly evoking the experience of soldiers who have had to leave their children behind—facing the uncertainty of whether they’ll return.
