When we first listened to "Sunshine", by Young Kato, we were extremely impressed with the perfect mix of unique instrumentals and voice work, wrapped in a very catchy and effective melody. Months have passed, and the admiration remains the same. We still love it to bits: it is, without a doubt, Sounds European!'s song of the year.

2014 IN 50 SONGS

The end of 2014 is approaching. And, as it happened on the last days of 2013, it's time for our review of the best we've listened throughout the year. Sounds European! looked back on the songs which were published here during this period – more than 1200 – and selected the 50 best ones (in the editors' opinions). Until December 31st, this top 50 will remember some of the coolest artists and tracks which were presented during the year.

50th place: United Kingdom | Years & Years - "Take shelter"

Italy | Modà feat. Emma - "Come in un film"

BRAND NEW

What happens when two of the biggest artists of a country gather to record a song? We are about to discover: "Come in un film" is the new single by the great Italian rock band Modà, which features the 2012 Festival di Sanremo winner Emma. It's actually a reunion, since they had already been together on the amazing "Arriverà". Their new song is as powerful and incisive as Italian rock can be!

Slovenia | Nino - "A je vse OK?"

RECENT

Few Slovene artists are as open to different styles for their music as Nino is. His work embraces Latin flavor, such as on "Mi amor", some pop-rock, as on "Zvezdno nebo", and beautiful ballads, as "Simfonija". His new single "A je vse OK?" is more connected to the third one: a wonderful piano-based ballad which is just delightful to listen!

Denmark | Nabiha - "Animals"

RECENT

Nabiha Bensouda, born in 1983 in Vesterbro, is one of the most talented singers of the current Danish music scene. She has some of the coolest singles of the last years in Denmark, such as "Never played the bass" and "Ask yourself". With "Animals", a very groovy song, she shows she is also very versatile in genres.

Croatia | Colonia - "Feniks"

RECENT

Croatian group Colonia and SE! first met ways in 2013, when they released "Anđele". They are now back with "Feniks", a single which is being extremely well succeeded in Croatia. We can easily understand why: the instrumentals are addictive, and the vocals are perfect!

Denmark | Kadie Elder - "First time he kissed a boy"

RECENT

We swear it's not a spin-off to Katy Perry's hit. Kadie Elder is not a female singer either. They are actually a band from Copenhagen made up by Anders, Morten and Daniel.
