Evangelia – Vále
Contemporary Greek pop at its best. This number sees the delicate vocals of Evangelia build against a simmering electronic beat before launching into a Greek party with a chant-a-long chorus that blends both English and Greek language and traditional Greek string instrumentation. This will undoubtedly get the party started at Ethnikós Telikós.
Thanos Lambrou – Free Love
One of the first English language releases from Panik Records signing Thanos Lambrou showcases vocals with a gravelly soulful rock edge and charisma. This is a big pop-rock number brimming with cool and swagger. With a message of freedom and love, Thanos will undoubtedly sell the soulful edginess of this number at Ethnikós Telikós.
Xannova Xan – Play It!
Rising talent Xannova Xan delivers scintillating number Play It! a bold and unflinching pop number showcasing big pop vocals, dramatic high energy production from Peter Bostrom and Dimitrios Tassos, and sultry delivery from the undeniably cool Xannova.
BARBZ – Sirens
BARBZ (aka Barbara Argyrou) produces Sirens with Emil Vogel, a contemporary pop number that will certainly be one of the standout numbers from Ethnikós Telikós. BARBZ delivers a compelling vocal atop atmospheric production that soars with originality.
Dinamiss – Odyssey
Sisters Eleni & Maria Dinas are Dinamiss who serve on electro-rap anthem Odyssey. There is nothing quite like Odyssey in the competition particularly as the crunching industrial beats take hold, which will most likely lead to a standout dance break when the number is performed.
Klavdia – Asteromáta
This Greek language number from Klavdia is a beautiful showcase for the language, with the performer delivering it with a subtle poignancy. Introspective production builds to unveil a sense of urgency and drama in this stellar number.
