2015

2015 marked Italy's full embrace of streaming-era pop. Hozier's 'Take Me to Church' crossed over from indie darling to chart domination, while Baby K and Giusy Ferreri's 'Roma-Bangkok' became the Italian summer anthem. Latin-inflected pop from Nicky Jam and Alvaro Soler mixed with global superstars Adele and Bieber. Marco Mengoni and J-Ax represented Italian artists thriving in the new landscape.
