Although we’re officially into the Eurovision 2026 season, it will still be some time before we hear any national final and Eurovision songs. Thankfully, the music will always continue and a number of Eurovision artists are still producing new songs 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 44 part 1
With so many new songs this week, we’ve split the roundup into two smaller articles. You can find part 2 here.
Ziferblat – “Незрівнянний світ краси”
We start this week’s round-up with Ziferblat, the band that represented Ukraine this year. Their newest track, “Matchless World of Beauty,” brings a piece of Ukrainian history back into the spotlight. The song is Ziferblat’s own version of the well-known Ukrainian classic originally performed by Nazariy Yaremchuk and the group Smerichka, written in 1969. It gained major popularity after featuring in the 1971 film Chervona Ruta, and later gave its title to one of Yaremchuk’s albums in the 1980s. More recently, the track reappeared in the documentary Yaremchuk: Matchless World of Beauty.
With this release, Ziferblat beautifully blends classic and modern elements, honouring Ukraine’s rich musical heritage. Rather than creating a simple cover, they’ve infused the song with their own unique sound and style. The result is a moving tribute that connects generations and celebrates the lasting influence of Ukraine’s musical icons.
About the impact that Yaremchuck made, the band stated:
“I want to thank Yaremchuk for the opportunity to be part of Ukraine’s musical history — your family is an example of preserving heritage that continues to inspire new generations.”
Silvester Belt – “Nebemyli”
Silvester represented Lithuania in 2024. His newest release, whose title translates to “No Longer in Love,” keeps the addictive pop-dance style we’ve come to expect from him. With a touch of darkness and mystery, he creates the perfect anthem for falling out of love. This release is exactly the kind of musical treat fans were waiting for — and dropping it on Halloween made the song’s slightly dark vibe an even better fit.
Ira Losco – “Monster After Midnight”
Ira, who represented Malta twice—first in 2002 and then in 2016—is back this week with a new release perfect for Halloween. The song, “Monster After Midnight,” is a dark pop track that sets the mood for the spooky season. The music video impresses with a series of costumes and looks, from Mrs. Frankenstein to Morticia Addams, and many more characters for viewers to discover.
About her music video, Ira said:
“Get ready for a cinematic experience like no other, where I’ll be playing multiple roles inspired by the most iconic, mysterious, and mesmerizing female characters in cinema history. “
Amaia – “Aralar”
Amaia, who represented Spain in Eurovision 2018 alongside Alfred García, returns with a track that beautifully captures a traditional essence. If you’re looking for something folk-inspired, this song is perfect for you. The music video feels like a journey through an immersive wonderland, while the melody blends fiddle, folklore, and modern soundscapes. “Aralar” refers to part of the Basque Mountains and describes this place as a mystical, magical land.. Amaia creates the setting of a folk fairytale, perfect for love incantations. The lyrics say: “I close my eyes for a moment / I make a wish to the heavens / That you love me more than I love you / That you be mine and no one else’s.”
Tina Karol – “Небесами”
Also from Ukraine, we have Tina Karol, who competed in Eurovision 2006. Her new release, “By Haven,” is a perfect wedding song — one that feels made for the bride and groom’s first dance. It speaks about true feelings, soul connections, and the evolution of relationships through both happy and challenging times. At its heart, the song captures how meaningful it is to feel that you belong to someone, and someone belongs to you, in the purest form of love. The lyrics beautifully express emotions that are almost too powerful for words: “I know you and I are truly soulmates / How many years have we been pretending to be strangers? / This definitely can’t go on anymore / Well, look how much we’re alike.”
Amir – C amir²
Amir competed in Eurovision for France back in 2016, and this week he is back with a new album. After releasing C Amir last year and dropping the single “Nous,” he now returns with the second part of the project — a double album that includes two sections: the first featuring 10 brand-new songs, and the second including the 12 tracks from his 2024 album.
The album offers a beautiful variety of songs, ranging from refined French pop to tracks inspired by the chanson genre. According to Amir, this double album represents both the closing of a chapter and the beginning of a new one — a celebration of light, growth, and inner peace, explored through 10 songs about love, unity, and the importance of human connection. Currently, Amir is promoting the new album on tour, with concerts across France and Belgium.
Soraya – “Fénix”
Soraya, who represented Spain in 2009, returns with her new song “Phoenix” — a powerful declaration of reclaiming yourself, feeling reborn, and taking back your strength. The track is a perfect EDM club anthem, with lyrics that speak about breaking free from a toxic relationship and finally embracing freedom: “Nothing remains of you / I am no longer afraid of myself / What we once were is paid for in the wind / What I felt is gone with the echo / Like a phoenix phoenix phoenix.”
Soraya described this song as one of the most complicated to create for her album, yet one she feels deeply proud of.
Ruth Lorenzo – BLACKSHEEP
Ruth represented Spain in 2014, and her new album BLACKSHEEP proves that she was never meant to follow the herd. The record is unapologetically original, raw, and honest. Fully in English, the album features 11 tracks and surprises listeners with its mix of genres. It’s packed with powerful rock songs like “Sticks & Stones,” “Hey!,” “Bad Blood,” and the previously released single “Don’t Break My Heart.” But there’s also room for moving ballads such as “I Hate My Life,” and even a 1940s-inspired, almost acapella piece, “Road Rage,” which brings to mind Judy Garland’s timeless track, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
About BLACKSHEEP, Ruth shared:
“Not all of us were born to follow the herd. When you silence the noise, from the darkness rise the voices that hurt the most… and heal the deepest.”
Efendi – “O Deyil”
Efendi, who represented Azerbaijan in 2021, is back with her newest release, “Not Him.” In this song, she channels her inner Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, paying tribute to the beloved character portrayed by Audrey Hepburn. The track is a heartfelt ballad with traditional influences, telling the story of a man long forgotten: “It’s not his voice that calls my name now / It’s not his breath that touches my face, my shoulder / It’s not him who looks into my eyes.” With this release, Efendi marks the beginning of a new musical era.
Kukon feat. Alicja – “Masz mnie”
Alicja, who was selected to represent Poland in 2020 before the contest was cancelled due to the pandemic, is back with a new release titled “You Have Me.” The song is a collaboration with Kukon, a well-known Polish rapper, and offers a blend of pop ballad elements with flawless vocals and striking rap verses. The result is dynamic yet emotional, a track that stands out easily and won’t go unnoticed in this week’s playlist.
Kaliopi – “Dobro veče i laku noć”
Kaliopi, who represented North Macedonia twice—first in 2012 and then in 2016—is back with her new release, “Good Evening and Good Night.” The song features strong folk influences, and the music video highlights powerful women who cannot be deceived by a man. The lyrics say: “Darling/ I don’t need sadness/ And instead of me/ Tomorrow someone else will come/ You are a dangerous game…”
ela. – “Spiegelbild”
As part of the band Elaiza, ela. represented Germany at the 2014 edition of Eurovision. “Reflection” is all about self love, and boosting your confidence. The song is meant to acknowledge the challenges and the bad days, but also optimistically looks to the future. It provides a proud retrospective look on all the progress made so far.
The chorus of the song says: “Good morning, reflection/ Tell me, how are you?/ On your face I see the hardest and the most beautiful days/ Good morning, reflection. You’re still beautiful to me, even though I say it far too rarely/ I’m proud of you.”
Laura Põldvere feat. AG – “Kõks, Mu Lilleke”
Laura, known for representing Estonia twice—first in 2005 with the girl group Suntribe and then in 2017 in a duet with Koit Toome—is back with a new release featuring AG called “Hello, My Flower.” The track brings a subtle Latin vibe and a playful love story. The chemistry between the two artists is evident, both showing off their singing and rapping skills. The lyrics say: “Hello, my little flower/ We’re drinking alcohol again/ Between the bubbles/ Let’s solve the soul’s torment/ Who doesn’t take risks, doesn’t drink bubbles.”
Timebelle – “Chain of Hope”
Timebelle represented Switzerland in 2017. Their newest track is a melancholic autumn song, perfect for reflecting on missing someone and finding the courage to express it. The atmosphere is tender, and Runa’s voice carries deep emotion. The chorus says: “You know so much but/ I promise that you don’t know it all/ We were born in a weak chain of hope/ I don’t hate you just miss you that’s all.”
Loulou LaMotte – “A Heart Can’t Make Do”
After being part of John Lundvik’s backing vocals in 2019, Loulou earned her own ticket to Eurovision as part of The Mamas, selected to represent Sweden in 2020. Unfortunately, the contest was cancelled that year. Her newest track is a perfect autumnal ballad, speaking about time that doesn’t heal as much as it should, about waiting, and about broken hearts.
Nutsa – “Amen”
Nutsa represented Georgia last year. Her newest release is the perfect pop banger, channelling her inner Christina Aguilera and J.Lo, with flawless vocals and impressive dance moves. The song celebrates a man you are grateful for in your life. The chorus says: “If you got a good man say AMEN/ If he lovin’ you right Say AMEN/ Shout it out girl/ Let the world know/ His love is heaven sent/ If he looks so good say AMEN/ Treat you like he should say AMEN/ Raise your hands and testify/ You found the one it feels so right you better say AMEN.”
With the release of her newest song, Nutsa added:
“Got a good man? Say AMEN!!! Still single? Say it to manifest. Don’t want one? Say AMEN for your peace. I wrote this song from pure love and high-energy vibes. I hope it lifts you up too.”
Taxi – “Când rinocerii”
We end the first part of this week’s round-up with a song from Taxi, the band that represented Romania in 2000. The song appeared on music streaming platforms this week, though its music video was posted on YouTube last month. The song “split Romania in two” and sparked numerous social media discussions, becoming one of the most debated songs recently from the country.
The song is titled “When Rhinoceros,” and according to Dan Teodorescu, the frontman of Taxi, it was inspired by the theatre play Rinocerii (Rhinoceros) by Eugène Ionesco, a show about the dangers of certain political ideologies for humankind. The music video features 31 public figures, including actors, writers, journalists, and athletes, ready to deliver a collective civic message. The “rhinoceros” serves as a metaphor for people in positions of power, brainwashing and oppressing others. The song tries to deliver a message that when people stand together, they can resist oppression. The song is a call for “good people” not to remain silent, to speak out, and to unite. It was released in the context of both Romania and Moldova having recently faced external political influences and the challenge of far-right politics. The song upset some supporters of these parties, especially with the band and all the public figures from the music video expressing in the past that they are against the far-right and extremist political ideologies.
The lyrics illustrate how oppression happens easily when society is disunited: “When good is bad/ And white is black/ When the ignorant is wise/ And the impostor is honest/ When the world is upside down/ And good people whisper/ It’s the time when the rhinoceros wake up.” The ending emphasises the importance of collective action in defending against injustice: “When good people seek each other/ When good people find each other/ When good people gather/ When good people protect/ When good people don’t keep quiet/ When good people speak/ It’s the time when rhinoceros fall silent.”
