Music to align with your mood

Whether it’s wallowing in blues or revelling in beats you’re after, there’s a new discovery to soundtrack your mood today.

Norway’s Julie Bergan has gathered together all five banging Eurodance tunes that she’s released as singles over the past 12 months into a hit-play and don’t-stop EP. Topped off and powered up even further by a brand-new track – and it’s one of her very best! Dance All Night serves as the Euronites EP’s opening track – and its manifesto.

Two Danish musicians – producer HEDEGAARD and singer Bjørnskov – have gotten together to make a special kind of dance track; one that merges torch song with strobe-light tune. It’s a level of luminosity that should see you through until the summer months. If you’ve been holding out for a Hometown Hero, this one’s for you.

A Swedish stalwart of the EPA-dunk genre has taken something of a left turn (in his EPA-tractor, no doubt) and come out with an absolute stunner of a schlager ballad. We don’t need to ask why, we’re just going to appreciate that it’s happened and that it exists. Put your lighters up for Nära Dig by Neonberger, featuring vocals by Vanadis.

Swedish artist joel has served up lemons – a refreshing break-up anthem that skips forward to the post-healed stage, when feelings start to creep in again but are mercifully much easier to bat away this time around. This serving of lemons is paired particularly well with his previous single 10/10, another positive spin on the break-up ballad genre.

Another lyrically astute love song comes from Norwegian artist Laurent and his latest single Roof On Fire. This song doesn’t stop at merely tugging on the heart strings, but is seemingly not happy until it has ripped them out and tossed them on the titular blaze. Unrequited longing has never sounded so good.
