Top 50 of 2021: #3

BEST SONGS OF 2021

As is our tradition every end of December, it is time to review the best songs of the year. During this period, Sounds European! has featured over 1300 songs. And now, we are presenting, until December 31st, our list of the 50 best European songs of 2021.

3rd place: Finland | Robin Packalen feat. Alex Mattson - "Hard to love"

Finland | Robin Packalen feat. Alex Mattson - "Hard to love"

SONG OF THE WEEK

Huge meeting of stars in Finland! Robin Packalen and Alex Mattson (who, besides his solo work as a DJ and producer, also became a member of Blind Channel in 2020) have just gathered to release a new single. "Hard to love" rides the wave of retro pop music we're currently living, but it explores broader periods of time than most other songs of the genre. There are references to several different decades, both in the melody and in the instrumentals. And the result is outstanding: it's our song of the week!

Finland | Alex Mattson feat. Lucas Marx - "All about you"

BRAND NEW

Finnish DJ and producer Alex Mattson has joined American singer and producer Lucas Marx to record and release "All about you". It's a smooth and involving electronic pop song with a very effective chorus.

Finland | Alex Mattson - "Good kids"

RECENT

Alex Mattson is the stage name of Aleksi Kaunisvesi, Finnish music producer and DJ who was born in 1997. We have just got to listen to his single "Good kids", and we are fully in love with it. It's an excellent song! It's impossible to listen to it only once!
