And here is the second part of the event. editorial team's favorite songs of 2025. Of course, this time there are also videos of the songs to listen to directly. Have fun!
For me, the case is clear: Lady Gaga has delivered the song of the year with «Abracadabra». It combines an innovative electro sound with real depth. Instead of bland radio platitudes, Gaga serves us industrial beats and a production that boldly pushes forward. The lyrics are also exciting: with Latin interjections such as «Amor» and «Morta», she philosophizes about love and transience – intellectual fodder that is rarely found on the dance floor. This mixture of acoustic risk and substance is what makes the track so special. And the video for it is also in a class of its own. Now we hope she brings the magic live to Switzerland in 2026.

With «DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOTOS», Bad Bunny opened the music year 2025 with a bang. The album sent the Latin community into a frenzy and broke records worldwide. Since its release, it has played millions of times up and down in my house. It is a declaration of love to his native Puerto Rico, to his roots and to everyone for whom Latin American music is a way of life. It's almost impossible to choose a favorite song.
But if I had to choose one, it would be «TURiSTA». The song is about a love that was just passing through. The mixture of longing, disappointment and quiet resignation makes the song incredibly melancholy and beautiful in its sadness. «En mi vida fuiste turista, tú solo viste lo mejor de mí…»

With his gentle voice and honest words, newcomer Mika Noé has shaped my music year 2025. Even though he is still at the beginning of his career, it makes no difference to me, his songs go straight to the heart. He talks about feelings, about realities in which I often find myself.
«Frieden» is about finding inner peace in a person. The song describes that feeling when life is going crazy, but you meet someone who makes you forget everything else.
Every time I hear the song, I get goosebumps. The lines «Ich hab’s Gefühl, dass du mein Frieden bist, weil wenn die Welt mir viel zu riesig ist...» get to the heart of what many people know, but hardly anyone can put into words so beautifully. For me, «Frieden» doesn't just mean love, but also that rare feeling of having really arrived.
