The Black Mamba provided Lisa-Jayne Lewis with her moment...
Which other artists did the same for my listeners in 2021?
Show 149 was all about my moments of 2021 - this special show was for everyone else! Nine different songs held something for ten different listeners - here are those tracks...
Gjon's Tears - "Tout L'Univers" (Mick Ward)
The Black Mamba - "Love Is On My Side" (Lisa-Jayne Lewis)
Colapesce & Dimartino - "Musica leggerissima" (Andy Brook)
Gram-Of-Fun - "Lost In A Dance" (Tristán White)
Mixed Up Everything - "Wind Of Change" (Adrian Dhima & Violeta Graziable)
Fyr & Flamme - "Øve Os På Hinanden" (Joanne Powell)
NEEV - "Dancing In The Stars" (Mark Dowd)
VASIL - "Here I Stand" (Denise Watts)
The reasons for these choices and the tracks themselves? You'll have to listen to the show...
No news this week - I didn't want to detract from the listener choices, so it is new/latest releases intermingled with them:
"Tout L'univers" - Gjon's Tears
"I Love You" - Teflon Brothers & Pandora
"Love Is On My Side" - The Black Mamba
"La Mia Città" (New Version 2021) - Emma
"Musica leggerissima" (censored) - Colapesce & Dimartino
"Rose Garden" - Jill Johnson
"Lost In A Dance" - Gram-Of-Fun
"T'Amo" - Mahmood
"Wind Of Change" - Mixed Up Everything
"Smile" - Benjamin Ingrosso
"1944" (instrumental) - Jamala
"Øve Os På Hinanden" - Fyr & Flamme
"Mucho Calor" - Stefania
"Dancing In The Stars" (live at Namouche) - NEEV
"Gotta Get It Right" - Vanilla Ninja
"Here I Stand" - VASIL
"Athenian Skies" - Katerine Duska
"Criminal Fake" - Sophy Ivy
"Strip" - Lena
"Hva Så Nu" - Emma Nicoline
"When It's Good It's Amazing" - Wiktoria
"Manna" - Grete Paia
"Ми Сховаємось" - ANNA-MARIA
"Let Me Be The One" - The Shadows
My pick of those? Vanilla Ninja returns!
"Gotta Get It Right" is their first release in 13 years and one of the tracks off their album to be released in October this year, "Encore". Great to see them back again, nice to see Triinu on lead vocals and could this be the build-up to this band trying to get to Eurovision again, this time for their own nation via Eesti Laul? We shall have to wait and see. Also a pleasure to have on the show one of the tracks from the debut album by Wiktoria:
Umberto Tozzi will be one of the definites
to be at Eurovision 2022 if Turin wins the bid...
I'm sure Raf will be there too!
