The Winners
Lau Noah & Salvador Sobral – “Wooden Chair”
Salvador Sobral teams up with Catalan musician Lau Noah to bring us a song from the big “Wooden Chair”. “Wooden Chair” is an enchanting acoustic guitar ballad in which the titular piece of furniture serves as a metaphor for a place where you can find peace. The track is part of her debut album “A Dos,” which also features artists such as Jorge Drexler (who featured on a Sobral track previously), Sílvia Pérez Cruz (who appeared on a MARO song) and American musician and YouTuber Adam Neely.
Jamala – “Мій брате”
Jamala new song is a deeply emotional one. “Мій брате” (My brother) is a song about a close friend of her who died a last year. On Instagram, Jamala writes that the track also is a dedication to all those sisters and brothers who you didn’t get to spend nearly enough time with. She goes on to call for us to remember the dead, through memory, quoting them, or writing letters to or about them.
Nigar Jamal – “Peşmanam”
One half of Azerbaijan’s winning duo, Nigar right now wants to tell us just one thing: “Peşmanam” (I’m sorry). It’s a classic ballad filled to the brim with classic and traditional musical influences. The song was written and composed by Zamiq Əliyev, who has worked a lot with Eldar (the other half), and also releases music under the artist name YAP10.
