I hope it's not going to be Albina who is left behind.Albina + Family are 7 people in total.
Whom is Albina going to fire and let behind in Tirana?!?!?!

Whether they can sing or not has never been in question, Albanian entrants have always been of high vocal capability the issue I have is that a lot of their entries are very very sonically similar and the lack of variety has become very tiresomeThe narrative of sending shouty an screaming women is tiring.
never apologise and don't change! It's not your fault that your entrants can actually S.I.N.G.
ouch
The studio version sounds so demo-ish and watered down compared to the orchestra arrangement.
I hope they adapt from the orchestra arrangement as much as possible for that revamp. The clubbing beat with family drama aesthethic doesn't go together.
The studio Version sounds awesome too!The original Studio version got uploaded on Albina's Instagram account.

I really don't understand people lamenting over Albania sending the same song all over again. The songs aren't comparable at all. It's like saying Rap, hiphop or Metal sounding the same. Or look at all the bops. Then these sound the same too.
Countless countries have shown time and time again that you can be loyal to your country's unique cultural sound without constantly sending similar songs, Mall is one of my all time favourite Eurovision and showed that Albania can be true to themselves whilst sending something different to what they have done before. Duje (to me and I stress to me) sounds very similar to previous Albanian entries.How is "Duje" similar to "Karma"?
Because of a female singer?
As an avid Eurovision fan, I´m quite happy to see a country "sticking" to their ethno sound.
They will clearly add some variety in Liverpool and that´s all what matters to me.
I can understand your remark, though - is not going to send a modern pop song but that shouldn´t be a surprise, either - since Festival i Kenges is not the place to be looking out for such entries.
They had the chance to submit "Atomike" by 2Farm for a change but televoting in Eurovision and Albania proved (again) that ethno bops are well-received amongst fans and viewers alike.

Though I have to admit that I didn't like Fifi too much. And let's not forget that "Atomike" received an award. That's not only modern, but also has an avantgarde touch.I mean, I can understand why people want to hear a modern song from Albania for a change - but they´ve been sending modern ballads/mid-tempo entries (2015), some rock (2018, 2013), dramatic ethno-ballads (2019, 2021), ethno up-tempo entries (2021) and some EDM-influenced pop as well (2009) - there´s clearly a tendency towards females with strong vocals but it´s not like their entries do sound the same.
It will be interesting to see if we will be getting a "modern" Albanian entry soon - if Festival i Kenges keeps on letting the televoters decide on the Eurovision entry.... but this time, the only semi modern songs which competed at FiK was butchered on stage (hello, Fifi).
