The international music scene is slowly coming back from Christmas break. I listened to a couple of really remarkable releases this week. Nonetheless, the list of the Songs Of The Week is rather pop music -focused. I guess that a wider range of genres will be covered in the following weeks.
Ann Doka – Rooms
The German Ann Doka is such a great and friendly artist. Heading towards her new album, she released Rooms this weekend. Really nice track, which is rather a pop than a country song this time. If you want to learn more about her, what about having a read through our February 2021 interview ?

Leopold – James Dean
Leopold was on my long list for album reviews, when she released her album in November 2021. Now, the artist released a new single, James Dean . Very powerful, characteristic sound. Love it.

Leo Rojas – Blinding Lights
Songs of the Week is typically not intending to feature cover versions – but I just liked this very special instrumental edition of the big song by The Weeknd. Hope it makes you smile as well.
VIDEO
Pauline Moser – Roller
Pauline Moser has so far rather been a touring musician. However, she is now also going for some solo releases. A sound between German pop and vocal house. I like this New Year’s Eve 2021 song.
VIDEO
Diana Ezerex – I Know I Can
Diana Ezerex is a German-Nigerian singer-songwriter. In 2021, she released her debut album . I Know I Can , which has been released this weekend, is a really nice soul pop track.
VIDEO
Spectator Bird – Clean Hands
Spectator Bird are a sister folk duo from Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, USA . They feel to steadily grow their career – Clean Hands is a new release I definitely enjoyed listening to.
VIDEO
Robin Bengtsson feat. Victoria Voss – Oh My God
Robin Bengtsson has become famous in Sweden as a participant of the very important Melodifestivalen . This week, he released this beautiful folk-style duet with Victoria Voss.
