Lana: my goosebump moment is a song called “Molitva” by the Serbian singer Marija Serifovic. It gives me goosebumps because the spot for that song was published a year ago during the quarantine and it shows the empty streets of Belgrade, and the band singing, helping other people, bringing them food, in masks.

Nadia: my goosebump moment is the song “She used to be mine” by Sarah Bareilles. That’s honestly one of the most relatable songs, especially if you are a mom and you went trough a lot of struggle when you had your baby and in life itself. The first time I’ve heard it, it did not only give me Goosebumps, but also it made me cry to no end.

Medjadi: my goosebump moment is the song “Sweater Weather” by the Neighbourhood. It’s like a classical song from the 90s and relaxes you. I believe songs are for broken souls so every time I am upset or feel annoyed, I play it and everything changes like magic.

Fred: my goosebump moment is the Emicida show “10 years of Triumph”. I feel so connected with it and it’s emotional for me because I’ve been following him for 10 years and we can see the evolution.

The song starts off a cappella, after which it progresses with synthesizers and at the end it explodes. It is very emotional and raw and the performance is really mind-blowing. The song gives me Goosebumps every time!

Cherry: my goosebump moment is Sasha Sloan singing “Older”. Her voice is so angelic and the song lyrics are so relatable to how I feel. The song talks about her younger self not understanding why her parents argued or the meaning of love, but when she got older, she understood love is not as easy. As I grew up, I understood that when you argue with your loved one, it doesn’t mean you hate them, it is just how life goes.

I feel like listening to the album definitely made my 2020 a lot better.

Von: my goosebump moment is the song “Panalo” by EZ Mil. “Panalo” means “win”. Filipinos have started to see being Filipino as a negative due to political and social conflicts. The message of the song is to be proud of who you are and where you came from. That doesn’t just resonate with us Filipinos, but with everyone in the world.

Miftahunnazah: my goosebump moment is the music video “Lathi” by Weird Genius feat. Sara Fajira from 2020. This video is so stunning. It went viral all around Indonesia and some other countries.
