Roberta Metsola
Baby Shark, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper, Childish Gambino

David Casa
Aretha Franklin: Respect
“Even though this did not come out this year, her death gave life again to the queen of soul.”
Ira Losco
Halsey: Without Me
Cyrus Engerer
George Ezra: Shotgun
“It’s one of those songs that you have to move to, as it’s played on the radio. I’m not sure about its lyrics (in fact, I don’t really remember them), but it has a catchy tune and puts a smile on my face as I listen to it… “I’ll be riding shotgun, lalalalala”
Joseph Muscat
George Ezra: Pretty Shining People
Adrian Delia
Martin Garrix feat. Bonn: High On Life
Francis Zammit Dimech
Placido Domingo
“Over the past year, I had the opportunity to follow a concert by Placido Domingo who came over to an event at the European Parliament to lobby in favour of artists’ rights. He interpreted such classics as ‘Nessun Dorma’ from the Opera ‘Turandot’. Hardly a new release, but it remains one of my favourites for all time and listening to Placido’s interpretation re-affirmed my love for the song. That is apart from relating to the main theme in that song: ‘Vincero’’!”
Ian Borg
Camille Cebello feat. Young Thug: Havana
Alex Alden
Punch Brothers
“The
new album of the Punch Brothers is beautiful.”
Grandayy
The Living Tombstone: No Mercy
Jo Caruana
Mean Girls: Where Do You Belong?
“From the new Broadway musical Mean Girls.”
Valentina Rossi
Cardi B: I Like It
Eve Borg Bonello
Mac Demarco, The 1975
“This year was the year I discovered Mac Demarco, I love ‘My Kind Of Woman’ although it’s not my favourite song by him, it’s the song that introduced me.
And since I’m super indecisive I’d have to say love it if we made it by The 1975 as well, every lyric was a mini-revolution.”
Chris Cardona
Florence and the Machine: Hunger
Gaia Cauchi
Benny Blanco, Khalid, Halsey: Eastside
Ben Camille
The Greatest Showman: This is Me
Michela Pace
Ava Max: Sweet but Psycho
