Two Italian divas got together to release an amazing new single. We are talking about "Eva + Eva", by Annalisa and Rose Villain. It's an inviting pop song with a great tropical, Latin feeling, and an enjoyable clap-led melody.
Summer is soon arriving in Europe, and that means tracks related to the season will blossom in every playlist. In Italy, Annalisa and Federico Rossi teamed up for "Movimento lento", a song which draws uniquely Mediterranean sounds, loads of Spanish guitar and a sultry atmosphere!
Another edition of Festival di Sanremo, another entry by Annalisa. And honestly, we don't know what else she would have to do to finally win an edition of the festival. "Dieci" is – like all of her previous tries – an excellent song, and it would have also been an extremely worthy winner. She never fails on delivering high-quality music to the Italian audience.
Italian superstar Annalisa has just released a new album, "Nuda". And she chose "Tsunami" as the single for the release. As we see it, the choice couldn't have been any better: it is one of the best tracks, if not the best one, in the album! It's an amazing mid-tempo song, with a very imposing chorus and a, as usual, flawless vocal performance.
Annalisa is back with a new single. And, following our current condition, the Italian superstar is offering us a huge "Houseparty"! It's an extremely fun song, perfect to make our moods better in such heavy days. If even the Queen couldn't resist to it (check the video), who are we to do that? It's our song of the week!
Rkomi is the stage name of Mirko Manuele Martorana, Italian rapper who was born in Milan in 1994. He has gathered with Italian star Annalisa for an awesome new single. "Vento sulla luna" offers a groovy mix of pop and rap, with a very captivating chorus!
Throughout the year, Sounds European! has presented over 1600 songs. As it is our tradition, we have reviewed all of them and selected the 50 that we consider to be the best of the bunch. And now – until December 31st –, it's time to present our final list!
4th place: Italy | Annalisa - "Il mondo prima di te"
Italian superstar Annalisa is back with a new single! This time, she has joined Italian rapper Mr.Rain (stage name of Mattia Balardi, who was born in Desenzano del Garda in 1991) to release "Un domani". It's a groovy song with intense beats and a marking chorus.
Italian star Annalisa has just released a new single. And you know what it means: good music is on its way! "Bye bye" is a contemporary pop song with a catchy chorus and a vocal power only Annalisa can offer.
Year after year, Festival di Sanremo keeps gifting us with some of the best songs of the entire European continent. And the 2018 edition wasn't different at all: we are thrilled about several entries! Among them, our main highlight is Annalisa's "Il mondo prima di te". It's a true masterpiece of pop music. It's sweet and delicate, but intense and powerful. All of it, wrapped by one of the best voices in the current Italian scene. It's easy to guess: it's our song of the week!
After some time without releasing new music on her own, Italian singer Annalisa has finally dropped a new single. "Direzione la vita" shows another side of the artist, bringing a more contemporary approach of pop.
Summer is soon starting. And along with it, summer songs are a must. This year, one of the first steps in the genre was given by Italy. Benji & Fede gathered with Annalisa to release "Tutto per una ragione". It's a great start for the coming season!
Two of the biggest stars of the Italian music scene got together to release a great single. "Stella cadente" puts the best of Rocco Hunt's and Annalisa's music together. Rocco adds his strong and potent groove, while Annalisa's outstanding voice shines in a beautiful chorus. It's a very cool mix!
Italian diva Annalisa is going in English with her new single! "Used to you" is a very fun song, with involving and captivating melody and a highly catchy chorus. And do we need to say Annalisa's voice is flawless once again? Very entertaining track!
After presenting a very deep entry for the 2016 Festival di Sanremo, Annalisa started preparing her new album. And now, we can already listen to the song which will also entitle the album, "Se avessi un cuore". It displays a different Annalisa, exploring electropop and dance as no other track of hers has ever done. The result is catchy and unique.

It's already becoming a tradition: every December, Sounds European! looks back on the best music we've presented throughout the year. The editors reviewed more than 1300 songs, in order to select the 50 which they consider the best ones of 2015. Until December 31st, this top 50 will highlight some of the coolest artists and tracks which were seen here during the year.
5th place: Italy | Annalisa - "Una finestra tra le stelle"
There are few artists in all Europe going through such a good phase as Annalisa. Everything she touches becomes gold! Her new single "Splende" is another example of a masterpiece of music she has released. The song, which is also the title of her current album, is another huge display of vocal quality and great melody. And the chorus is the perfect wrapping for it: it couldn't be any better!
We have no doubt in affirming Annalisa is our current favorite artist in the Italian music scene. Every single of hers is a new love for us. "Vincerò" is another amazing power ballad she is offering. As we are getting used (in the best sense of the word), her voice is as perfect as it can get, and the instrumentals give the final touch of intensity to the track. Amazing!
Annalisa is surely one of the favorite artists of Sounds European!'s team. The Italian singer's voice is stupendous, and her songs are always top quality. Her entry for the latest Festival di Sanremo, "Una finestra tra le stelle", which ended the contest with a fourth place, is another example of that: it's a masterpiece of music. It's so great, that we feel as if highlighting anything of it would be insufficient to describe how great it is. She didn't win Sanremo, but she won our hearts. It is our song of the week.
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.
