13 FEBRUARY 2021: MIRUD – Blessed

MIRUD continues to prove himself as one of the most original rising stars in music, combining influences from the pop scene in Albania and the USA where he’s now based.

Back in December, MIRUD stood out a mile in the latest edition of Albania’s long-running music festival and Eurovision selection show Festivali I Këngës, both with his eye-catching outfits, and his cutting-edge electro bop ‘Nëse Vdes’. Fans of that track will find even more to love in his new one ‘Blessed’: with its danceable beat, smooth vocals and irresistibly catchy instrumental hooks, this one connected with me instantly. This is the kind of sound which could pick up attention in many different markets across the world, with the promo it deserves.
