Elin Lanto - Tickles

After a succession of amazing pop songs, including Discotheque (which is one of my favourites of all time), Elin Lanto returns with her latest single, Tickles, which is coming off of her much anticipated album coming out May 3rd entitled Love Made Me Do It.

Elin participated in Melodifestivalen 2010 with Doctor Doctor which ended up finishing a not-so-impressive 7th out of 8 in her semifinal. Along with Love Made Me Stupid which was released in 2009, Elin has made a bit of a shift from the unabashed completely pop songs to those with more of a rock edge. Despite Doctor Doctor not really impressing me much, Tickles definitely increases my confidence that Elin's second album release next month just might be one that is playing through the rest of 2010.

With an insanely catchy line like "it tickles when I think about it" making up the chorus, it isn't hard to understand how this one fits in with some of Elin's previous pop masterpieces. It really only takes a listen or two to get the chorus stuck in your head and Elin really has perfectly bridged rock and pop in just the right way.

For the clubs, Elin has had Tickles remixed by the Almighty team and the remixes are already making some noise despite the single not being physically released. The remix is already appearing on compilations and these are likely an effort to ease Elin's break into the UK. When Discotheque didn't do it for her, one could have wondered how it could be possible - the Tickles line-up could be her ticket!

Another great track from Elin! We'll forget about Doctor Doctor and wait in anticipation for the album! It tickles just to think about it! :)

Enjoy the original and Almighty remix for preview and download below!

Inna - New Singles (2010)

As Inna begins to make her mark in North America with much success with Hot, there is new music being made, most likely for her fans in Europe who have been listening to Hot for quite some time now. You may have heard Inna on the radio here in Canada and she has also managed to reach #1 on the Billboard Dance Charts as well. No small feat for an artist from Romania!

Meanwhile, No Limit and Senorita are new tracks from Inna that show a bit more of a move from Amazing and Deja Vu which were very similar to Hot in sound and are potentially an effort to appeal to a wider market.

Inna recently received the "Artist of the Year" title at the Eska Awards in Poland where she also performed Amazing so it's hard to say where these tracks might be released - if at all - but it's nice to hear some good stuff from Inna and to see that her team are managing to produce her content that could keep her on in the clubs for a while.

If you found her first tracks a bit too 'euro' and you're more into a house sound you just might like these two.

Enjoy!
