If you want to jump straight to a specific section, here’s a list of pages, each filled to the brim with excellent music:

2026 national final artists

🇩🇰 Ericka Jane – “Sidestik”

🇸🇪 Jacqline – “Forever June”

🇱🇹 Atikin – “tempo”

Lithuanian singer / rapper Attain placed 6th in this year’s edition of Eurovizija.LT with his big electro DnB track “Decant Żemelė”. The latest single for the young musician is a fusion of jazz, funk and soul, with modern dance and rap. “tempo” is a collaboration with vladislava melis and Tenseoh, and sees Atikin rap in English over the vibey, soulful jazz beat. It’s a fusion of exciting musical sounds. This is really quite different, at times feeling like a soulful house track, other times feeling more like an old school jazz record. It’s fun. Give it a go.

🇺🇦 MOLODI – “обійму (Embrace)”

MOLODI are an exciting duo from Ukraine, who most recently appeared in the Vibird selection show in 2026, placing 8th with “Legends”. The pair had previously competed in the 2025 edition of the national final, coming second with “My Sea”. MOLODI recently collaborated with Go_A lead singer and fellow Vidbir entrant Monokate on the song “танцювати поки живі (Dance While We’re Alive)”, performing at festivals together this Summer. Latest single “обійму”, meaning embrace when translated into English, furthers the success the boys have already found in the Ukrainian music scene. The track is blend of dance, with almost an afro-beat feel to it, but still at its heart Ukrainian rap. MOLODI are a very exciting duo.

🇱🇻 Honey Blue – “One Can Be”

Latvian band Honey Blue may not have made the final of this year’s Supernova with their song “Blue Disco”, but I personally think they had one of the most enjoyable tracks in the entire selection. New single from the band “One Can Be” is similarly as soulful and funky, but has a much more relaxed tempo. The track is a beautiful backing track to everyday activities. Lead singer Santa Paula Mata sounds absolutely beautiful on this track, but it’s the musicality of the band that rounds this out as an amazing song. Honey Blue really excite me, and I hope we see the up-and-coming indie-jazz-folk band in future Supernova shows.

🇷🇴🇸🇲 Edward Maya – “Gipsy Balad”

I think this man has appeared on almost every single Eurovision new music round-up so far this year. Edward Maya will most likely be known as the DJ and producer of huge eurodance anthem “Stereo Love”, back in the early 2010s. But this year, the musician entered both Selcția Naționalǎ in Romania with the song “Everybody Needs Somebody”, and San Marino Song Contest with the song “Balla”. The artists may also be known to fans as one of the creators of Romania’s 2006 Eurovision entry “Tornerò”, performed by Mihai Trăistariu. His latest single is a collaboration with John Dice on the folky dance track aptly named “Gipsy Balad”.

🇱🇹 Freya Alley – “The Painter”

Freya Alley took part in this year’s Eurovizija.LT national final with her song “No Kiss Goodbye”. She would ultimately place 7th in the fourth heat of the selection show. Freya has since released a number of singles, most recent of which is ethereal electro-folk-pop song “The Painter”. This has elements of Kate Bush or Björk about it, but in a more modern way. Look, this really isn’t my sort of music but I can absolutely appreciate the quirky nature and immense talent of Freya on this song.

2025 national final artists

🇪🇸 Carla Frigo – “I Can Feel”

Spain’s Carla Frigo is back with a big dance hit. The Benidorm Fest 2025 entrant may not have made the final of the selection show with “Bésame”, but Carla has amassed impressive amounts of streams and indeed fans in European and across the Spanish speaking world. Her newest release, “I Can Feel”, sees Carla feature on DJ and producer Karvel’s new beat. The track is in English, similarly to Carla’s more recent work, but the Spanish flair is ever present. This is a contemporary dance track that stands up with a lot of recent releases in the electronic music world. Carla, I pray you make another appearance in Benidorm Fest.

🇺🇦 KRYLATA – “Mope”

Both KRYLATA and Gorim! have entered Ukraines national selection Vidbir in recent years. KRYLATA in 2025 with the song “Stay True”, placing 7th, and Gorim! back in 2022 with “Magic”, which made the Vidbir longlist but didn’t make the final of the show. The pair collaborated in August of 2025 but are back with a new joint single, “Mope”. The song is soulful, sexy and jazz inspired, while still feeling contemporary Ukrainian pop. This is a fun collaboration!

🇳🇴 Nataleen – “Lion’s Den”

Nataleen was only beaten by eventual ESC participant Kyle Alessandro in the 2025 edition of Melodi Grand Prix. Her song “The Game” became a fan favourite in the national final, but lost out at the chance to represent Norway at the Contest in Basel. The Norwegian singer today releases new single “Lion’s Den”. The track is darker, and more serious than her MGP entry, but her deep, bassy vocal shines even more so on this new single. This is a different vibe to “The Game” in that its slower and less dance-track focussed. But this is as impressive from Nataleen.

🇱🇹 Petunija – “Gal tik vakarėja”

Four time Lithuanian national final entrant Petunija is back with a new single! The singer most recently entered the Eurovision selection show Eurovizija.LT with “Į saldumą”, which came 8th in the 2025 of the show. This newest single from Petunija, “Gal tik vakarėja”, is somewhat reminiscent of her Eurovizija.LT entry, but with more of a soulful energy to it. The track is incredibly enjoyable to listen to.

🇺🇦🇸🇲 TESLENKO – “НЕ СПІШИ”

Ukrainian pop-rock singer TESLENKO is somewhat infamous in Eurofan circles. The singer withdrew from 2025 edition of Ukraine’s Vidbir, before appearing on the longlist for San Marino’s national final the same year with his song “Storm”. He ultimately placed 3rd in the San Marino Song Contest, losing out to Italian DJ Gabry Ponte. The singer has not gone without impressive attention, however. He has now amassed over 100 million total streams of his music across all music platforms, and seems to be here to stay. His latest single, “НЕ СПІШИ” is a dark indie-pop track, featuring TESLENKO’s distinctive vocals and honest lyrics.
