Not only presents from Sinterklaas this weekend … #NMF

We are entering the last month of a special year. Sinterklaas comes with gifts, music land with great releases. Curious?

Tunify-Shawn Mendes

A brand new Shawn Mendes album ànd documentary? What a great way to kick off the last month of 2020! No doubt you want to ‘Netflix & Chill’ with this heartthrob, but since he is in a steady relationship with Camila Cabello, why not ‘Tunify & Chill’? All the trendwatchers are saying that is the way to go in the future.

Claudio Baglioni and Claudio Capéo both are respected artists in their home countries. In better times no doubt you would have heard them through the speakers in your ski resort of choice, but Tunify is more than the next best thing. The first Claudio is what you could call the Roman Shawn Mendes of the Seventies. For over more than half a century he brings dramatic songs with such passion in a way only Italians can do. The second Claudio is a French singer but since his roots lie in Italy (hence his name) this album is a celebration of Italian evergreens.  So get your gear on and decorate your living room like it’s an après-ski bar. Tunify is always safely accessible and there’s no ban on schnapps, Aperol spritz, glühwein, nor Hugo…. And you don’t have to drive nor ski back home. You see, the glass of Prosecco is always hall full!

With names like Yungblud!  and grandson on the release schedule today, a true rocker knows what to do; use the speakers that go to 11! Sexual fluid Yungblud! delivers his sophomore album, always a tricky one, since his debut was such a success. Canadian grandson finally releases a proper debut album after countless EP’s. That album has been baptized “Death Of An Optimist”, so don’t get into a festive mood yet.

Calogero releases album number eight and if you are familiar with the previous seven ones, this effort will certainly not disappoint. There is a reason why Calogero Joseph Salvatore Maurici  (Sicilian roots this one) outings has been selling albums like hotcakes over the past two decades. Every French citizen knows Calogero’s greatest hits by heart and the fans are anticipating his next stadium tour in 2021. Hope springs eternal, they say.

Since the government is proposing an alternative festive season, Tunify likes to think out of the box and recommend the Christmas-themed releases of both Calexico and Tori Amos. Expect the unexpected. It’s still 2020 after all.

Santa Claus is in a good mood and already drops tasty new songs from the likes of Texas & Wu-Tang Clan, De Beren Gieren, Clinton Kane, 24kGolden ft DaBaby, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Clinton Kane, 24kGolden ft DaBaby, Samantha Mumba, Sarah Brightman, Kraak & Smaak, BOBBY, Maximo Parker, Maître Gims, The Starlings, Balthazar, Gabiel Rios, HIDDN, Hydrogen Sea, Call Me Loop, and Sigur Ros.

For those who like every day to be like Friday, check out on a daily basis the newly added singles in your Tunify Blue. Go to ‘Hit Factory’ and chose ‘Tunified Tips’. This is your discovery channel, so go your own way!
