Albania ALBANIA 2022 - Ronela Hajati - Sekret

[escYOUnited]

Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret

Ej, ej, ej, ej, ej, ej, ej

Po vjen djali nga malet
Dhe tek unë sot do falet
Nuk e di a do ndalet
Hajde t'i, hajde t'i falim mëkatet
Për këtë vajzën do vije
Dhe krejt botën ta lije
Unë jam diell nuk jam hije
Ti i je i imi, djalë prej Shqipërie

Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Baby shija jote, shijes sime
Peng i ka mbet
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Nuk janë më një sekret
Por unë nuk e di, nuk e di
Si kam me u ndi

Nuk e di, si për tjetrën m'ke lon
Edhe sot un po du me ta thon
Edhe një, edhe ty
Nje, dy, tre, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha

Ma ke bo jetën si lojna, avion
Ma ka lon, ma ka lon
Nuk du nji tjetër, se pishmon
Ma ka lon, ma ka lon

Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Baby shija jote, shijes sime
Peng i ka mbet
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Nuk janë më një sekret
Por unë nuk e di, nuk e di
Si kam me u ndi

Nuk e di, si për tjetrën m'ke lon
Edhe sot un po du me ta thon
Edhe një, edhe ty
Një, dy, tre, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha
Ta marrsha, ta marrsha

Ma kadalë, ma kadalë, ej
Ma kadalë, ma kadalë, ej​

Oh righttttt, I thought you were aiming at the instrumental during rap and outro part which is like the most demo-ish part of the song to me.
I agree with you it's amazing but it shouldn't be a whole basis of the song. Personally it's what makes the song so God-sent and keeps me anticipating its both appearances. It's a perfect dance break moment where Ronela shows off her moves to Jurop.

Please elaborate on "non-song".

For a Eurovision song its narrative structure is pretty weak, it's messy. It has nothing to do with loving classical structure but in no way is it experimental, fresh or new, there have been quite a few unfinished songs in Eurovision. I like the eagle screeching sound effect tho.
@VasilijeM They slayed at Eurovision.

Parts of this remind me of Russia last year, I hope they'll keep them in the final version. This is a bit of a hot mess overall, but at least it's hot. I think I like it.
for now, has potential to be a massive grower.

One thing I love about Sekret is that it's bringing the flavour of 00's ESC which has been lost a little in the last few years. I personally rate 'Wild Dances' 2004 as one of my favourite ever winners. We all need some ethno-dance attitude pop in Eurovision and Sekret definitely brings back this flavour. I think the closest we've come recently is 'Mata Hari' which was a bit silly and cute but it didn't quite have that 'slap in your face' element that 'Wild Dances' or even 'My Number One' had.

Albania 2023 so far, for me.

Most songs in this format are more or less demo versions, I am sure that with the revamp it will only get better + I beg to disagree, the song has been trending in Germany, The United Kingdom and Italy, countries where such let's say ''Balkan rhythms'' aren't usually on top of their musical taste.

MAJOR NEWS! Another music director rumoured to be working with Ronela is also DIPLO from Major Lazer:

According to her stylist, Niko Komani.

Your glottal stop is amazing.

"Sekret"´s performance as fierce indeed. I loved it how you started to smile when she got into the performance. She really got that oomph and one gets mesmerised by her stage presence.

 

[Mainshow]

"tjuuu´ren" is this how British people pronunce the host city? Oo I just recognised the word when you mentioned it for the second time throughout the video

Glad to see you guys doing reactions to ESC songs this year.

 

[Luneaux]

From the very first listen I thought this is a strong and likable Albanian entry! I still prefer last year’s Karma to Sekret but, yaay! They have made a right choice with Ronela!

Can’t wait to hear the final version of this song!
