The summer that begins, the catchphrase that looms. So, like every year, it’s time for songs that will accompany us throughout the summer, challenging each other with bits, straight drums and pounding choruses. We will have to wait until September to understand which song will be crowned “2024 hit”, but it is already clear – as it has been for a few seasons now – that in company is better: many duets or multi-voice collaborations have multiplied in this period. In most cases more out of the need to attract the listeners’ attention than for the pleasure of the collaboration itself.
Hit of the summer, The Kolors are at it again
Protagonists like never before, women who are taking the space they deserve. Last year they were the The Kolors to dominate, surprisingly, radio and platforms with Italodisco and this year they are betting on an encore with Karma, with those sounds that take you straight back to the Eighties, released a few weeks ago and already at the top of the radio charts. The queen of hits is attempting the feat card Annalisa paired with Tananaiin Short Stories, which has all the air of a hit, with its slightly retro atmospheres and the mix of pop and songwriting that unites the two artists.
The all-female couple Alessandra Amoroso And BigMama puts the hypnotic Mezzo Rotto on the plate, while Fedez (who knows a lot about high-temperature hits) ed Emis Killa in Sexy Shop they play between pop-dance and rap. They also sign up for the most listened to and sung song competition Francesco Renga And Neknow a de facto (artistic) couple, with Dolce Vita.
Elodie and Emma towards new horizons
Three weeks after publication, Sesso e Samba by Tony Effe And Gaia, which recovers the never-faded tradition of Latin sounds, has already climbed the digital charts and promises battle. And on the subject of Latin music, the collaboration of Fred De Palma with Gué, Bad night, between rap and reggaeton and an afrobeat sound. Producer Jvli has chosen Emma And Olli for his artistic debut with Ho Voglia di Te, which has the flavor of a fresh and immediate hit.
Elodie plays solo with Black Nirvana, all to dance to, which should mark the beginning of a new artistic era for the singer, as well as Emma Brown with the electropop of Femme fatale, a single to let loose on the beach with fast rhythms and a dance-flavored chorus, and Annathe most listened to female artist in Italy on Spotify, who sings 30°C for holidays in rhyme to the sea.
Musical hit of the summer, the other proposals
They try too Riches and Poorsreturned to a new vitality and new splendor, with Aria, while i Boomdabash they intertwine freshness, emotion and lightness in Love U Hate, but they don’t seem to scratch like in other summers. Instead, it could work Paola & Chiarawith Total celebration, an invitation to lightheartedness already in the title.
Colapesce Dimartino they drop their card: Falling madly in love is never a deal, which tells of the summer of wet swimsuits and burning love. They return Bnkr44: after the song Government Punk from Sanremo (Gold certified) and the super-hit Ma Che Idea with Pine of Anjoupromise to make you dance with Estate 80, between ostalgic and captivating synths and a guitar riff that interpolates the unforgettable Figli delle Stelle by Alan Sorrenti.
