CHAL BADHE AAJ

 

Huge thank you for getting the ICONIC Aaj to qualify from semi-final 2! We hope you enjoy this amazing Indian folk metal song and maybe we could do well in the finals. ;) I'm humbled to achieve a 6-edition qualification streak which is definitely a dream come true given my terrible record at the start. We are coming for the 50% qualification rate.

 

However,

 

Mass protests have erupted in multiple cities in Sovarasma following the absolutely tasteless robberies of Oslol, Seyetana and Trifoski. These 3 nations have scored high in Sovarasma televoting and they are not happy at the result. On a serious note, what on earth are these robberies huh?

Honestly, this song has been sticking inside my head for a week. Great entry and congrats for the 12th place!

Thanks for all the nice comments! I'm glad a couple of you enjoy the entry a lot. :D Hopefully I can keep on finding something quite iconic in the future. I'm pondering on my next entry still so it's possible it's either catchy French indie folk or interesting electronica, whichever you want to see!

Who needs an irl landmark when soundscape is already one?

 

I'm here to grab all your points mwhahahahaha I came across this fantastic electronica track which grapples my attention with the interesting instrumentation and the consequential eccentric soundscape. The song definitely shows how epic synth sounds can get. I'm all for this marvel!

 

About Floating Points

Floating Points is an electronic music producer and DJ. He is the founder of Pluto Records and co-founder of Eglo Records. His music influence dates back to impressionism in classical music with composers like Claudio Debussy and Olivier Messiaen. He released three critically acclaimed albums Elaenia, Crush and Promises.

 

About Vocoder

Vocoder is definite typical of Floating Points previous tracks, especially the vocal chops. One comment about this song reads: "his beats went through the washing machine, coming out the other side with a squeaky-clean freshness that nobody was expecting." We stan washing machine music! The track flows through with different dynamics and intensity, and surely you won't notice 7 minutes have passed. I hope you enjoy this entry!

'Crush' by Floating Points is an absolutely fantastic album, I recommend you check it out if you haven't already x

 

(this song is great as well, I'm glad he's back to electronic music after the brief foray into classical with the 'Promises' album, I enjoyed that for what it was as well but he's definitely more standout in the electronic music field)

2022 is officially the best year for Sovarasma

 

I would like to say a HUGE thank you to every nation that has votes for Sovarasma to make this improbable achievement possible -- Sovarasma has officially beaten their national record of the most qualifications in a year and we are only half-way through the year. I cannot express in words how happy I am to achieve this feat! As usual, here is a recent single from Floating Points.

 

My next entry will leave all of you in awe. Many of you would ask whether this is Sovarasma at all. Y'all not ready for this gag!

We're slaying our way on Jupiterdonia's runway

monet-x-change-monet.gif

 

We're serving fish for lunch today and a huge banger on the runway. Y'all need to be prepared for this gag and Madison Rose is here to slay! Very different from the last Madison Rose's entry, this is all about vigour and confidence.

 

Spilling tea on the runway

 

I love the power of this song. The vocal style is different and the flow is smooth. The instrumentation is fabulous, especially at the end with emphatic synths and accentuating vocal effects.

 

About the artist

Madison Rose is an Ohio-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter that has collaborated with a couple of EDM artists, as well as ventured into her solo career that has seen success so far with multiple tracks going viral on TikTok, including "ICONIC".

 

About the song

"ICONIC" is an upbeat bop that features Madison Rose's solely rapping. This is a short song but packed with a lot of iconic lines. "My life is a runway. Perfect, plastic, on display" as she raps before the onset of the emphatic chorus, "ICONIC" is bound to be an experience!

Calling all DANCE lovers!

 

Sovarasma is determined to replicate the fantastic result of Time and so they have gone back to what they are good at -- electronica music! The soundscape of this track is phenomenal and I hope enjoy it!

 

About the artist

Michael Canitrot is a French electronic DJ and producer. He received an award from the Institut de France for his project, first to be receiving such honour. He also curated the runway sounds for several big fashion brands and also at the Cannes International Film Festival.

 

About the song

Oracle is part of the project Monument, which debutted at the Palais Royal. He performed the track at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Laon. Oracle features lush synths and it builds up bit by bit to the big drop at the end, where he unleashes everything he could to capture your attention and melt within the soundscape.

Calling all DANCE lovers!

Meeeeeeee! :hi:

 

What a wonderful entry by Sovarasma this month, it’s very inspired and should secure them another qualification. I have not heard of this artist before but I will certainly add them to my followed artist list and that’s after just one listen! Call me impressed! :dance:

Back to the final!

 

We are back in the final!!! After a shock NQ last edition, we are back with a bang! Next edition I'm going to send my oldest entry to date (I can see some viewers laughing at this comment :kink: :kink: ) but it is epic and I'm sure y'all will love the BIG DROP at the end!

 

Attached is the entry I'd love to send but would be vetoed instantly x

Pearl white cliffs

 

Now this is a speculation about where a part of the music video was filmed. Nevertheless, let me introduce you to the gorgeous Seven Sisters in Sussex. They are a series of white chalk sea cliffs on the English Channel coast. It looks really gorgeous!

 

GET READY FOR THE BIG DROP

 

This piece has been on my potential list for a really long time. It is my most favourite track in 2019. I really like the instrumentation and it steadily builds onto something really big in the end. I wish the afterdrop lasts a lot longer to prolong the experience but it is still an amazing composition nonetheless. This track connects to the next song immediately and you can hear the seamless transition from this video above.

 

About the artist

Askjell is a Norwegian record producer and songwriter. He is most well-known for producing songs for Sigrid and AURORA. He released his debut album everything will be ok earlier in June this year.

 

About the track

Autumn Autumn is the first single to be released from the EP To Be Loved. About the track, the producer answered: “If the music is just beautiful and the imagery is just beautiful, then there’s no tension.” And right is he! The music video is even more gorgeous, as it features Tin Gao in Sophia + Robert production.

 

I hope you enjoy this gripping piece!

We are through again!

 

Sovarasma continue their strong run of form in Hendinia, as they score the 7th qualification this year! I was a bit scared that I overhyped the drop when the listenthrough crowd had lukewarm reactions. In the end, I made it! :D

 

Next edition I will be sending something in another language. This song will be a mix of pop and indie, with lots of synths! The latter part has a bit of hip-hop influence as well. I hope this mixture of different genre elements will translate to wide appeal!

Italian excellence

 

I'm going for a different direction this edition. I'm serving Italian pop-hip-hop fusion realness. I love how varied this song is. The beat and the synths make the song memorable and catchy. Let's not forget about the BIG DROP after the second chorus, leading to a spectacular soundscape.

 

About the artists

FLAMINIA is an Italian singer from Turin. She grew up in a family of musicians and her music is inspired by jazz. Her first success comes from writing "Easy" in 2018 summer.

 

Yosh Whale is an Italian four-piece band. Their songs have a wide range of genres not limited to electronic, rock, RnB and soul. They won the Buscaglione Prize in 2018. Their pieces in Italian often reflect moods and mental states.

 

About the song

capo/volto (English translation: head/face) is about reflection of death. The song asks us how we get there, why we make targets for ourselves, and when we want to open a new chapter in life.

Worst performing song in herstory

 

Unfortunately capo/volto brought Sovarasma a nightmare result. The head of delegation is in total shock at the scenes unfolding. There will be interrogation as to how this catastrophe happened. Nevertheless, I have a great orchestral track to end the year. Hopefully this will save Sovarasma from another terrible result!

 

Attached is another amazing Italian ballad that was released not long ago, enjoy!

Ending the year with a heavy-hitting instrumental

 

This orchestral track is stunning. I was lost for words when I first heard it. The piano entrance sets the scene beautifully, then comes the cello and the violins which give the piece perspectives. It builds on majestically to a gorgeous climax. Thomas Bergersen's Wings for Ukraine might not have passed the veto for BJSC, but this piece is close to fully representing and capturing the emotions and the turmoil that the Ukrainians have to endure every single day during the Ukrainian invasion.

 

About the artist

Yaroslav Molochnyk was born in Lviv in 2001. He is a pianist and received numerous awards in international contests. He performed as a solo pianist with different orchestras in Poland and Ukraine. He also composes music, and The Victory of Truth is one of his latest works.

 

About the piece

Yaroslav wrote about the piece: "This composition was created in February. In a month when time was divided into before and after. Now more than half a year has passed, but unfortunately Ukraine is still suffering from russia's cynical attack. During this time, this composition was performed at many charity concerts in support of Ukraine, and as every time we performed, now I also want to dedicate it to the Ukrainian people, who are heroically defending and fighting for freedom, democratic values ​​and truth. And the truth will always win!"

 

The video description also mentions ways to support Ukraine. :heart:

LRS announces delegation changes

leaving_work_1554783140-600x380.jpg


After an exciting year to end on, with a couple of top 20 smashes along the way, several delegation members have today been replaced, following changes to the direction of Sovarasma next year. This decision is agreed upon by the board, investigating the performance of Sovarasma this year.

During the meeting, the head of delegation is satisfied with the results this year, as Sovarasma managed to qualify 8 out of 10 attempts, compared to 4 last year. The head of delegation hopes to be consistent with their entry quality, and are actively seeking potential participants and negotating with record labels to provide top-quality and jaw-dropping entries.

The meeting also produces a major change to the direction. Sovarasma will embark on a half-year theme next year, to showcase different styles of the same big genre. They hope this will promote different corners of the genre and bring more viewership to Sovarasma. The first half-year theme for 2023 is revealed to be

Pop

Sovarasma has also agreed to set up a permanent board of a couple of high-profile people from record label companies and Department of Cultural Affairs. They will review the half-year theme half-yearly. It was hoped that the permanent board will bring forward interesting ideas to BJSC and do a more concerted effort in promoting the entry.

Search for entrants is underway. Expect the BJSC 151 entrant to be a hot and rising artist x
