The Best of 2022
Updated weekly
🎙️ The best music of 2022 | A new emotion every week
Celestal, Cecilia Krull | Out In Style (Dancing Mix)
His electro-pop sound focuses on catchy melodies, strong vocals and emotionally rich lyrics.
His new project “Out In Style“, together with indie artist Cecilia Krull, famous for her Money Heist song ‘My Life Is Going On‘, is a perfect combination, made even better in this remix:
Purple Disco Machine, Sophie and the Giants | In The Dark
To present their new album ‘Exotica Deluxe’, he asked them for help in the elaboration of a track that talks about failed relationships, the marvellous and eighties ‘In The Dark‘.
Kasabian | SCRIPTVURE
SCRIPTVURE, is undoubtedly the best track on the album. Kasabian explains it like this:
Scriptvre is about changing the version of the story you’re telling yourself. It’s about rewriting the script you created yourself.
Kany García ft. Alejandro Sanz | Muero
Alejandro has supported Kany’s career on several occasions. This time it couldn’t be any different, especially when Sanz heard the song. Like us, he fell in love with this beautiful ballad about loving someone in silence.
Red Leather | THE ONLY TIME IT RAINS IN HOLLYWOOD
How many songs has Red Leather released? His first single was released in May 2022 under the name ‘The only time it rains in Hollywood’.
What is Red Leather’s ‘The only time it rains in Hollywood’ about? The song is a heartbreaking portrayal of the lives of homeless people living on Hollywood Boulevard, a place where Red Leather himself has played many times to get some money.
Residente | This is not America
In this case, Residente attacks those who consider that America is only the USA, because as the song states:
América es desde Tierra del Fuego hasta Canadá (America is from Tierra del Fuego to Canada) 🌎
Against the Current | Wildfire
Composed to promote the European championship of the game, the new track of the American band is energy, fire and soul.
By the way, Against the Current already made it big in esports with their hit Legends Never Die 🎮
KAROL G | Provenza
What is Provenza? Apart from being the song of the moment, it’s a neighbourhood (sector) of Medellín, Colombia, which Karol G sings about with a melody that is simply fantastic.
22Bullets & Tia Ray (ft. KSHMR) | It isn't me
On one side we have the Thai DJ of the moment, 22Bullets, he is joined by the most influential Chinese singer, Tia Ray, and if that wasn’t enough, KSHMR, the American DJ of Indian origin who has been releasing hit after hit for years, produces the track. There’s only one thing left to do… dance!
Thomas Rhett, Katy Perry | Where we started
But Katy, like any of us, totally identified with the song’s message, “falling in love is scary, but if you look at everything you’ve been through in your life, you know you’re ready“.
Fredi Leis | 9000 heridas
Every time Fredi sings “tengo 9000 heridas por dejarnos y querernos (I’ve got 9000 wounds for breaking up while we love each other)” it makes my hair stand on end 🥺
He told us himself:
The song is composed and recorded in a pure and visceral way. A guitar and an imperfect voice carried away by the moment.
Sofi Tukker feat. Mahmut Orhan | Forgive Me
As an appetizer of their 2nd album ‘Wet Tennis‘ they have joined forces with one of their favorite artists, Mahmut Orhan, whose string arrangement, besides being beautiful, evokes the traditional music of their homeland, Turkey.
‘Forgive Me’ is about forgiving yourself for the worst thing you’ve ever done, and forgiving another for the harm they caused you, which is the ultimate surrender. It’s about loving someone so much that you will let them hate you if that’s what they need to do to move on, and hoping that one day, the person will come to forgiveness on their own.
Cruzar el Charco | Para mucho más
As the band’s singer explains, the song narrates all the strength that the fans transmitted to him during the 3 weeks he spent hospitalized with Covid-19.
The video, which depicts a zombie apocalypse 🧟, is the first of a trilogy, how will it end?
Eddie Vedder | Invincible
Special mention to ‘Invincible’, a song that speaks of the wonderful human existence and that, as you can see in the video, NASA has decided to use to promote its mission to the moon, called Artemis I 🌚
Deaf Havana | Going Clear
They do it with 2 members less, only brothers James and Matty Veck-Gilodi are left, but with a clear vision. An alternative rock masterpiece, in which they address the issue of addiction in a very direct and honest way.
Going Clear is the name of this bone-deep confession 🦴
Funzo & Baby Loud | PISA EL ACELERADOR
They will not make more albums, because their thing is singles 🔂 as PISA EL ACELERADOR (STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR), which in addition to a hypnotizing bass has an electric guitar that breaks your head. We are not surprised by their success, and the bright future that awaits them!
Train | AM Gold
That’s right, in May 2022 AM Gold will be released, presented with this homonymous song that takes us straight to the dance floor conveying a fantastic message, love yourself!
Alok, Alan Walker, KIDDO | Headlights
There is no way to resist the rhythm of the track, nor its beautiful melodic line, accompanied by military-style drums that elevate the song even more, not to mention KIDDO’s rich and complex vocal tone. Let’s enjoy!
José Mercé | Jamás Desaparece Lo Que Nunca Parte
For the first time in his career, he sings about such intimate subjects as the death of his son, and he does it under the production of the great Antonio Orozco.
We must always think that those who are gone are not gone, they are with us. In this case, oblivion does not exist, nor can it exist.
My son Curro is present in all this work and everything good that happens to me is because of him.
Red Hot Chili Peppers | Black Summer
It’s a pleasure to enjoy the Red Hot Chili Peppers again, their connection when composing and playing. They describe it like this:
Our only goal is to lose ourselves in the music.
We spend days, weeks and months listening to each other, composing, freely improvising.
We long to shine a light on the world, to uplift, connect and unite people.
Sebastián Yatra | Tacones Rojos
It is full of hits but we have to highlight ‘Tacones Rojos (Red Heels)‘, because as Sebastián himself wants, it will not only be a hit, but it will become a classic.
By the way, in his own words, the song was inspired by the rays of light that illuminate the morning as they enter through his window and have the ability to take you to a totally new, happy and inspiring place 🌞
Rigoberta Bandini | Ay Mamá
She has been about to represent Spain at Eurovision 2022. Although she will not do it, her song ‘Ay mamá’ has already triumphed, for its rhythm, its pro-mom message and this verse that already remain for history:
Paremos la ciudad sacando un pecho fuera al puro estilo Delacroix (Let’s stop the city by sticking a breast out in pure Delacroix style)
Baby Strange | Midnight
They are predestined to go far with their dark and raw rock. This is evidenced by ‘Midnight‘, a bombshell with a sound and aesthetics somewhere between melancholy and warped beauty.
AURORA | A Dangerous Thing
2022 is the year of her 3rd album, ‘The Gods We Can Touch‘, which includes this wonder, ‘A Dangerous Thing‘, and which deals with shame, desire and morality, all overlaid with Greek mythology.
Francesco Renga | Quando Trovo Te
He took part in the San Remo festival in 2021 with ‘Quando Trovo Te (When I find you)‘, but the song is so spectacular that we could not let it pass. In it he narrates the moment when that happy memory that we keep deep inside resurfaces in our lives.
hippymigué, Carlos Gómez | Mundos Bonitos
hippymigué declares himself a converted rapper. Thanks to this conversion he now fuses flamenco with Pop rhythms, achieving authentic wonders like this ‘Mundos Bonitos‘, or ‘La Atalaya‘ that we already included in the best of 2021.
