In times when playlists are dominated by the latest trends from social media or streaming services, our selection may seem to some of you an intriguing surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, we assure you that our choice is not random! Behind every item on the list lies a precise intention that forms the foundation of the entire \u201eNew Sounds\u201d. Perhaps explaining our selection key will help you approach the interpretation of the selected pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201eNew Sounds\u201d festival is born in the capital of Wielkopolska \u2013 this is where we operate on a daily basis and this is also where the Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna\u0144 and the Pozna\u0144 Science and Technology Park support us; and it is also here that we will meet during the grand finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We wanted the submission repertoire to proudly reflect this local identity. Our main key to selecting the songs was to link the artist or band to Pozna\u0144. It\u2019s a kind of tribute to the creators who drew inspiration from this city and hence often set out to conquer the national stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second pillar of our list is time and quality. We have consciously opted for the classics over the latest hits. We have chosen \u2013 in our opinion \u2013 iconic songs that were triumphant on the charts years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? We think they are songs with soul. They have excellent lyrics, superbly constructed melodies, and have firmly established themselves in the canon of Polish entertainment music. These are songs that are often well known to older generations, but which today offer an incredible platform for young vocalists to excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And here we come to the most important point, namely the very essence of the \u201eNew Sounds\u201d. We are handing over the hits of years past to you for one reason: we want you to give them a new sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Festival is nothing but fresh, student energy colliding with classic, musical material. Do everything you can to make these timeless hits become the title-giving \u201enew craze\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
