Yesterday we published information on an English cover of SOLDIERS OF LOVE, the 2016 Eurovision song by Lighthouse X – today it is an Afrikaans cover. It is called SOET IN MY SOUT (sweet in my salt) and is by Luzanne – this singer is knew to ESCCovers. More and more the trend here in South Africa is now to also just release a song via Itunes or such platforms as it gets more difficult to release CD’s.

SANDRA REEMER
ESCCovers felt various websites, facebooks and blogs gave a comprehensive account about the tragic death of Sandra Reemer who took part in Eurovision for the Netherlands several times in various ways. We had yesterday a small tribute to her music. We do not have a large collection of her songs as she was never really known in South Africa but the song that impressed most was INDONESIA – a vinyl single she brought out in 1981. In fact 90% of the people attending the tribute heard this song for the very first time.
KAREL GOTT – THE CZECH REPUBLIC
NEW RELEASE – JULIA LINDHOLM
Julia Lindholm has released this video of her German version of SUPER TROUPER -really catchy – showing that Abba songs do not date.
NEW RELEASE – MAURICE ZAPPE
ESC Covers got to know of this song yesterday. We have no idea who Maurice Zappe is but this song caught our attention because it is a brand new composition of RALPH SIEGEL (music) and BERND MEINUNGER (lyrics)
