Personal playlists are ubiquitous, but they tend to be frighteningly similar, built on the recommendations of friends and friends of friends and the collaborative filtering of iTunes and Pandora.
But it’s a big, wide world, and we wondered what we here in the States were missing. To find out, we asked 15 critics the world over to pick one track by a homegrown artist that they think is worth crossing over to our shores.
The result is a true rhythmic patchwork of intercontinental sounds, proving that though we all dance to different drummers, they always have a great beat.
Croatia
SONG: “Čemu se Nadaš Srce Moje”
ARTIST: Gibonni
This is a new song from one of Croatia’s biggest stars. Literally “What Do You Hope For, My Heart,” it connects traditional Mediterranean Croatia with modern pop music. Zlatan Stipišić Gibonni is our biggest hope for crossing borders.
