Azerbaijan, I know everyone’s jetting to Malmo now to start rehearsals, but if it’s not to late, I have a couple of suggestions for your song:
Well, one major suggestion – can you make it Ilkin Dovlatov featuring FAHREE? Because the best part of the song is the roughly 25 seconds when Dovlatov twirls his moustache, extends his arms, and just lets that voice GO.
The rest of the song? Well, it’s nice background music. For some reason, I feel like I’d enjoy hearing it in a hair salon while someone was washing my hair. But I also know I’d remember it for about as long as that person was shampooing my hair. It’s completely generic and forgettable.
But imagine a flipped version, where it was 2:30 of Dovlatov, and then a single verse of Fahree coming in to talk about hurricanes and hearts and some other weather phenomena/feelings and then Dovlatov coming back to once again banshee wail over an electro beat. That, my friends – THAT! would be a song with listening to. And it might also be a song that would say ‘Azerbaijan’ rather than ‘Sweden ft. a guy with good facial hair.’
As it is, this song might seem impressive at first, coming as a ballad-y number in a semifinal full of bangers. But it’s going to be followed by Australia and Electric Fields, and the charisma of that duo is going to blow the charisma of this duo (a trio is you count Ilkin Dovlatov’s fabulous moustache as a third performer, which I do) off the stage. I can’t really see how this makes it to the final outside of a lot of SIM cards.
