Let me know if you’ve heard of these three songs, although I suspect you haven’t. I can’t remember where I happened upon them but they’re all rippers.

This music writing challenge comes courtesy of the great Buddy Gott: What great little-known songs or albums should we listen to?

Here are three songs made by European artists I have on heavy rotation. Enjoy!

I Wish I Were That Girl by Marina P (2014)

Marina P is an Italian singer based in Paris. I reckon she does a fantastic job turning Wendy Rene’s 60s soul classic into a super smooth reggae tune.
