About “The Bird Song”
This has quite similar sounds to “Europapa”, in terms of the intensity of the rap verses. A contrast difference however is in the choruses these are a lot more mellow than that of “Europapa”. This similarly to “Luchtballon” has elements of a 90’s dance/trance throwback. There are mentions of Eurovision within this track, that is because Joost announced on social media that he submitted this song to AVROTROS as well as “Europapa”.
