What a brilliant track
I love his voice. This sounds like an instant radio smash - the instrumental still sounds fresh to me, though (but since I hit 30, I don't know what kids listen to these days anyway).
Absolutely incredible voice!
I personally enjoyed listening to
"Red Flag Parade" but it somehow sounds like it's a tamed version of something which could have been bigger. This song would have worked as the opening track of a pop-indie record, for sure .. but as a Eurovision entry? I think it's too repetitive without being convincingly catchy. It's a solid effort but nothing to write home about.
maybe?
"The Angel's Share" starts really promising (what a beautiful voice!) and the song just wants to keep your attention - I love the built-up. It's kinda very Eurovision-esque but she still keeps it simple (if it does make sense what I say - it's not camp or kitschy) and the chorus drive you in, for sure. I just think it lacks some oomph to really take off? Maybe at the final chorus? But that's just a tiny lever to move and they could easily come up with a revamp until March...
for now.
All songs are miles ahead of what we've heard from Malta and I'm pretty sure these tracks will sound fresher and more contemporary than other tracks we will have to encounter in the upcoming season.
So far, well done,
- Can't wait to listen to the other tracks.
