The April Favorite Duo or Band Song contest brought a wealth of stellar tunes to the Make A Star stage. 16 songs filled one of the most diverse and international brackets to date.
The semi-finals were a world cup of music, featuring acts from Germany, Ukraine, Canada and Australia. But it was the Aussies (with some Italian connections) who took the prize.
The Lalita are Mia J Park and Ejay Ivan Lac. Mia is based in Perth, Australia and Ejay in Italy. A long distance musical relationship brought together by technology, their smooth electronic grooves, soft, sweet vocals and evocative lyrics blend together like they are right next door.
Summer Days is in fact a great summer song, full of bright imagery, perfect for a warm afternoon drive with the top down in your car. In the semi-finals the song zoomed past the similarly bright reggae vibes of Montreal duo Lil LuLu and Mellowman and met up with new Ukrainian pop sensation Yuliya Strizhkina in the final.

Teamed up with remix producers Eximinds project, Strizhkina has burst on to the international music scene with Make A Star as one of her chief online sources for her music. The Kiev girl saw her song ‘I will be (Budu ya)’ survive the challenge of accomplished German rockers Zero Mentality in the semi-finals to set up the showdown with The Lalita.
At the end of the last week’s votes, The Lalita had the fan support to help carry them past very close judge scores, which actually put Yuliya Strizhkina in the lead, and claim the $100 cash prize.
In the end though, it’s all about the music, and we’re happy to help expose so many great new artists here on MakeAStar.com. The path to success in a rapidly changing music industry is not an easy one – help support the best new artists by voting here on MakeAStar.com every month!
