My songs of 2022 in order of appearance.
Future Events 2023
Wed. February 15
Artist: Tove Styrke
Venue: Melkweg Upstairs
Song: “YouYouYou”
The song is about not being able to let go of that former lover even though you are supposedly moved on.
Sat. February 25
Artist: Raye
Venue: Melkweg The Max
Song: “Black Mascara”
Dance to the depressing story of a girl who has been mistreated by her lover and now tries to escape the hurt she’s feeling, but can’t.
Sat. March 4
Artist: Alex Vargas
Venue: Paradiso Tolhuistuin
Song: “Pages”
Another song about a relationship that has ended. It's time to close the book.
Tue. March 21
Artist: Channel Tres
Venue: Paradiso
Song: “6AM” & “Hollaback Bitch” (with Mura Masa & Shygirl)
Channel Tres likes to mix it up. From groovy house to rap and everything in between. His live shows are supposed to be 110% energy.
Tue. March 21
Artist: SG Lewis
Venue: Melkweg The Max
Song: “Call On Me” (feat. Tove Lo)
This song was inspired by one of my favorite songs of all time “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” by Dead or Alive. And Tove Lo's voice is always nice to listen to.
Tue May 9
Artist: Sam Smith
Venue: Ziggo Dome
Song: “Unholy” (Disclosure Remix with Kim Petras)
Who would have guessed that a song about a man who‘s cheating on his wife with a prostitute would become such a hit. I especially love the Disclosure remix. I’m curious how Sam is gonna perform this song live in May.
Wed. May 18
Artist: Zak Abel
Venue: Paradiso
Song: “Be Kind”
This song is nothing but positivity.
T.B.A. For 2023 (Hopefully)
Artist: Rosse
Song: “Main Character”
This song is just 2:00 long but it oozes attitude. Attitude with an electronic beat.
Artist: Pablo Nouvelle
Song: “Lovesongs & Sextapes”
Swiss producer Pablo Nouvelle released his album Vulnerability in October and I love every song of it. It’s a diverse album covering different aspects of life.
Artist: Nomi Ruiz
Song: “Pussy Power” (with &ME, Rampa, Adam Port)
Artist: Gabriel Rios
Song: “Flore” (AZUL Rework)
I love this reworked version of “Flore” from Gabriel Rios. I think if this song would have participated in Eurovision it could have won. Awkward songs like this usually perform well.
Artist: Hayden James
Song: “On Your Own” (feat. Elderbrook, Cassian)
No end-year list without Elderbrook or Hayden James. They always deliver. I love their sound.
Artist: Florence + The Machine
Song: “Free”
Florence + The Machine needs no introduction. I think this is one of her best songs ever. The video is amazing with Bill Nighy playing her anxiety. Now put your stereo on full volume, put your own Bill Nighy out of the room and DANCE FREELY.
Artist: Kah-Lo
Song: “If The People Ain’t Dancing” (with Billen Ted)
Kah-Lo always gets the party going. We all need to dance more.
Artist: Tove Lo
Song: “No One Dies From Love”
Maybe it’s me, maybe I have a weird taste in music, but I sincerely don’t understand why this song didn’t become a hit. It only charted in Norway, Sweden and New Zealand. It’s a great pop song.
Artist: Robyn
Song: “All My Love” (with Louie Vega)
Robyn can do no wrong!
Artist: Jessie Ware
Song: “Free Yourself”
This should have been the Pride song for 2022. If only she released it 6 weeks earlier. Do yourself a favor and live your life with no excuses and free yourself.
Artist: Herizen
Song: “Not Myself”
A vulnerable song from singer/actor Herizen Guardiola.
