When I was a small kid and I lived in a village called Sabile /in Latvia/ I used to watch Australian TV series named Neighbours. Even now, 16 years later I clearly remember the nicest smile that belonged to Kylie. Still belongs. I never saw her sad and that's how her music is. Never sad, never sober. That's why I love her. Saw Kylie live in concert two years ago in Riga, stood in a front row with a ticket that was bought in the first day when tickets were available just to see her smile. With the new CD she gives us tasty electro dance whith trendy pop indergridients. And she does that again! Compilation of cute songs that will always remind me of the summer 2010!

- sincerely yours

OH, YEAH, THE GRASS IS GREEN

This morning I couldn't sleep anymore and I woke up before 6 am and went out to see the world. I watched how the nature deals with the sunrise. My coffee got cold and orange juice melt in the moment. I sit there for hour, maybe two. And I was careless. And I thought about millionaires and billionaires. But I felt richer than any. Because I had my handful filled with million sandstones. And in front of me few dears came out from the wood and lowly stared at me. As I blinked they were gone. Sunshine was taking over the nightly shadows and I stood up to step in the grass. I couldn't be much higher because I felt the dew - this heavenly water!

I love nature and I love to be millionaire. We all are!

- sincerely yours

summer tunes #2

2010-06-21T19:32:00.001+03:00

Kelly Rowland has always been a part of my life. Back in the days when I was 14 and sang along to the hits like 'Say My Name' and 'Survivor' and recently with fabulous summer anthem of 2009 'When love takes over' and now she is preparing her solo album 'Kelly Rowland'. Already several weeks ago I heard the amazing track 'Commander' which is the first international single from the new CD. Few weeks ago I met Kelly Rowland in New York and told her that she has been a great inspiration for me and wished her good success with the new CD. She was so nice in person and taller than I thought. Dreams come true so never stop to believe in your dreams!

And here is the video for the song:

I've always been admirer of this Scandinavian girl named Robyn, already when I was a kid many years ago. And now I am really happy that she has became one of the most recognizable Scandinavian artists. Years ago she blew our minds with hits 'Be mine', 'With every heartbeat' and 'Handle me' but in this summer she will release her new LP called 'Body Talk'. Watch the new video for her new single 'Dancing on my own'.

LOVE TO YOU at RADIO SWH 105.2

2010-04-21T09:47:00.007+03:00

Boys and Girls, my latest song LOVE TO YOU finally has reached airplay of Latvian Radio station SWH. There is also some kind of survey about the song and I would like you to give your + (or -) for the song.

But at least looks like usual radio-swh-listener judge by the cover and gave already too much minuses.

Well life is not about minuses or pluses and I am happy that there are lot of people who still love the song and I am sure that they will love it even more after seeing the video in few weeks.

So here's the link where we click: http://www.radioswh.lv/swh/toms.php?id=57&blizid=pusdienuhimna
