Sometimes, when we first listen to a song, we not only select it as our song of the week, but also know it's a strong candidate for the top of our yearly ranking. It was the case with this song. And time only helped confirming it, as we grew more and more addicted to it: its melody, vocals, chorus... everything is outstanding. "Castles", by Freya Ridings, is our song of the year!

1st place: United Kingdom | Freya Ridings - "Castles"

BRAND NEW

Freya Ridings is a British singer and songwriter who was born in London in 1994. She has just released a new single, entitled "Castles", and we are totally addicted to it. It's a song that is led by well-marked beats, creating a hypnotic ambience and an addictive melody. The chorus is the cherry on top of it all: it's as marking and captivating as one could wish for! We are listening to it nonstop. It's our song of the week.
