Top 50 of 2018: #31

2018 IN 50 SONGS

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!

31st place: Ukraine | Goryachiy Shokolad - "Szhigay menya dotla"

Ukraine | Goryachiy Shokolad - "Szhigay menya dotla"

BRAND NEW

Since the last time Sounds European! has met Goryachiy Shokolad, the Ukrainian girlband has gone through some member changes. But if names have changed, quality hasn't: they are still delivering high-quality pop music, and their new single is here to clearly prove that. "Szhigay menya dotla" is excellent! It's a grandiose song, with an intense melody and a chorus which sticks to the head after the first listen. We are fully thrilled: it's our song of the week!

Ukraine | Goryachiy Shokolad - "O nom"

RECENT

Ukrainian trio Goryachiy Shokolad firstly appeared on Sounds European! in November, with their single "Ne mogu otvyknut'". They are now back with a new release, the pop ballad "O nom". It is an extremely enjoyable song!

Ukraine | Goryachiy Shokolad - "Ne mogu otvyknut'"

BRAND NEW

Goryachiy Shokolad (also known as Hot Chocolate in Western countries) is a Ukrainian group composed by Diana Seytmemetova, Nadezhda Maystrenko and Yaroslava Miroshnichenko. The girlband was created in 2008 and rose to international prominence in 2009, when they took part of the Ukrainian National Final for Eurovision. Their new single, "Ne mogu otvyknut'", is a beautiful ballad which values the voice of the three members.
