Time for out monthly FSC news buletin
A tradition Bulgarian topic almost started in December, but now it'll be full and complete. Embrace yourselves, it's a long one, since this one covers everything that our artists have done after their FSC Songs, except the mentioned artists in my post on page 3.
Last month you saw that
Andrea (from June) has been working hard, but now there's even more proof of that. First she announced, that Sahara will be making a cooperative project with a big performer from outside the Balkans and the rumours hint to... Bob Sinclair. Not my first choice, but if it helps the trio (which is I think now just a duo, because the rapper left, but it's a rumour too) get famous, I don't mind
Meanwhile, here's Andrea's new video - ? ??? ?? ????? ??? (? ???? ???????) To Be with You Again (And So On)
[youtube:3qrml3nn]5o-jL-OGyF0[/youtube:3qrml3nn]
Again we see soft porn, foreign star immitation and cigarettes advertisement, but at least it shows that it's not such a cheap video, noone is shown smoking and Merilin's money could be helping the singer's career. And not a bad music to this song
Andrea is not the only hard working one though. Last month we forgot to give credit to Deep Zone's contribution to the bulgarian and world music scene. After producing
Addicted To You (May entry) the group divided itself for a mo, to allow each of the members to work on a solo project.
- Dian Solo featured Mescalex to make an environmental friendly video, named
One More Time. The environmental topic comes from an idea of mine, but how it got to Deep Zone is a long story, and I was supposed to be there to help and clarify my idea (I wouldn't have let them make such a crappy video). Another interesting thing about the video - it features Dian's nephews - the two dancing babies.
- Joanna Dark made a song of her own
??????? ?? ?????? (Kiss for Goodbye), which was followed by a club remix and english version + en remix
I Can't Breathe (remix)
- DJ Rossko found more work for MikeFresh, when they made together -
I Remember
- Juratone, Dian's father, teamed up with Lady B and took his chances on ESC NF with
Chance to Love You, and even
remixed it for the NF, but it finished 10th out of 12. I voted for them, I thought their song was best
- They also produced a video and song aiming at bringing young people to vote in the government elections, under the name R.E.D (obviously supporting the red party BSP (Bulgarian Socialistic Party), to which they also sing on concerts of their election campaigns around the country.
RED Energy DJs - ?? ?? ????? (It's your turn). That video is the mother of that red YES button in the solo project vids as well.
- After they tried each other separately Deep Zone brought themselves in the studio again to make an attempt on a summer hit -
?????? ????? (bg version) /
The Summer's Here (en version)
- Among their work were also a few remixes of other artists, Nora's ESC entry for instance, which was terrible in the
original, but great in the
remix. Greeks also thought so, since they
stole it for a MAD show If only Nora could have gone to the NF with the remix, get selected and go to ESC instead
- Krasi Avramov also got remixed -
Illusion (DZP remix) (much much better in my opinion) and
Say Goodbye.
- Deep Zone kept experimenting with chalga too, next and so far last on their list was Kali -
?? ?? ???? (You Chase Me) (DZP remix)
The latest news around the band is that they are almost ready with their next album Dance Energy. They asked which of the 7 news songs should be made into a video clip in the bulgarian youtube-version, but among them only 1 made it to youtube -
Slave. Deep Zone are probably counting on foreign market sales, since they keep an eagle eye on youtube for their new songs, which are freely shown on vbox, bulgarian youtube. Too bad vbox can only be opened from Bulgaria
The explanation - noone in BG would buy their album anyway, so allowing the songs there isn't a problem
RSC will soon know many of DZP's songs and remixes in detail
Speaking of hard working artists, we can't forget
Ustata (FSC October) who shocked us in December news with his violent video. Apart from that since October's entry he's also produced 2 more duos, one with Igi Androvski (I have no idea who that is)
????????????? (Goldseeker girl) and one with ESC BGNF 2009 Semifinalist Gergana Dimova -
??????? ?? (You're annoying me)

October's Sofi Marinova also hasn't been sleeping a winter sleep. Her stolen song ????????? (I'm being ill) might be stolen, but at least has a nice video.
Stolen song with nice video is also what
November's Emanuela did with her latest song
????? ???? (Come from behind)
Krum from July is also surprising us nicely with a whole new album - his first in the chalga genre - ?? ????, ? ?? (Not someone else, but me). It's pilot song is stolen from Albania.
the video of Ne drug, a az, more songs from the album are
?? ??????? (Let's finish (doublesensed word - let's cum could also be the meaning),
????? (Tough) and
Stop (best of all in my opinion).
If you don't feel like watching all of these, just look at that
recap
Since
September, Esil Duran has made a video -
????? ?? (I hate you) and a song without a video yet -
???????? ????? (Mister Success)
Well, we can't have FSC News without following what our winners have been doing. Well, dunno about Ruslana, because she's not bulgarian, but Slavi Trifonov hasn't done anything new since his album (which by the way also has a duo with Sofi Marinova). Well, if you don't count some sluts singing in his "Become a chalga star" reality. I don't know if anyone watches it. However, Gymzata from Kuku band (the band in Slavi's show, which are also esential to his album, including the duo with Ruslana) has his own new gimmick song -
???????? (hmm... Car-Repair House is the most accurate translation).
Last, but not least, our first ever FSC representer,
April's DesiSlava surprised her fans with a new song on New Year's eve -
???-?????? (The Best). Apart from that, in 2009 she has released her album
???????? ??????? ??, in which there are the unfamiliar for the FSC juries - ballad
?? ???????? (I can't withstand), the feministic
?? ???????? ?? ?????? (Don't trust the men) and the duo with Igrata (The game)
?? ?????? (Don't Stop). Desislava also had an international success, achieving a spot on MTV's world chart express with the rock ballad
My Pleasure, My Pain.
Congratulations if you've read all of this and watched every single video
