Songs that have marked the childhood of many, including a Gianluca Pessotto on the FIFA ’99 wing and a goal of Mbappè in the brand new FIFA 23. The songs that have been the soundtrack to the videogame franchise by EA Sports have become part of the personal history of all of us. Just think of Song 2 gods Blur, still today remembered by many as “the FIFA song”. Or The Rockafeller Skank of that little genius called Fatboy Slim. And then Kasabian, Glass Animals, Skepta, Bloc Party e one-hit-wonders come i Caesars.
In short, there was a moment, which perhaps has never passed, in which having the song on a videogame I EI SPORTS ZZENEGHEIM was an important achievement in an artist’s career.
