THE LOST SINGLES

SHOULD-A BEEN HITS

LAIKA

Hungry Hearts featuring Lisa Dillan

2016

One of the finalists in the Norwegian selections for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest was "Laika". The song is named after the first animal to orbit the Earth. Laika the spacedog made history in 1957 as the Russians were seemingly winning the Space Race against the Americans. The Melodi Grand Prix song saw the collaboration of jazz soloist Lisa Dillan with the group The Hungry Hearts.

This regular segment looks back on recordings that deserved to become popular singles but failed to attract attention and sales. Check the special Caffé Latté playlist on spotify to finally discover these releases.
