Follow Up Single Time, Part 2

As the weeks progress, more of Eurovision's Class of 2011 are continuing on with their careers and releasing their next singles.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's Dino Merlin has followed up his 6th-place finish in Germany with his new single, "Undo".  Despite the title, the song is in Bosnian, unlike his ESC-entry "Love in Rewind".  Dino is actively touring this summer, and will likely release his next album in early 2012.


Albania's preeminent diva, Aurela Gaçe, has collaborated with local rapper MC Kresha to bring the world their new single, "Cash".   It might not harness Aurela's epic vocal prowess in the same way that "Kënga Ime/Feel the Passion" did in Düsseldorf, but it's still a fun listen, and any video that has echoes of "Tron" gets a thumbs-up in my book:



Norway's Stella Mwangi, who shockingly missed out on this year's Final with the peppy, Afro-inspired "Haba Haba", has picked herself up, dusted herself off, and is continuing on with her career.   She released her new album, "Kinanda", on June 10th, and has already released the video of "Haba Haba"'s follow-up, "Lookie Lookie":


Finally (for now, at least), 2011's Dutch representatives 3Js have also released a new single in the past few days (although sharp-eared Eurofans will recognize "De Stroom" as the runner-up in this year's National Selection).
