Apparently Margarita hosted the first FiK as well some 60 years ago. This makes a lot more sense now.

"Duje" got everything I need from a song: (Church) bells, some choir elements, an epic and mysterious intro, some fluts and other "ethno-elements" and a very memorable chorus.

Please, - let me vote for you in May!

 

[Looren]

1. Albina & Familja Kelmendi - Duje : This slaps ! I can totally see this work on ESC stage !
2. Luna Causholli - Jeten Ta Fal : This is gorgeous, love it so much
3. Erma Mici - Kozmosi I Dasmurishë : Woah how powerful ! Stunning song !

4. Anduel Kovaçi - Malli : The ethno vibes are beautiful, wish it had a bit more power but I really like it

5. Enx-hi Nasufi - Burrë : Oh wow this is much better that her last entry ? Really a goodie
6. 2Farm - Atomike : This is a goodie ! And am sure singer in the middle is Kastro Zizo !
7. Rezarta Smaja - N'Eden : This is good, Rezarta serving as usual

8. Fabian Basha - Një Gotë : Enjoyable song
9. Fifi - Stop : Fifi you failed me, expected a lot from you ! Still an enjoyable song tho

10. Urban Band - Ne Cdo Hap : Blarf blarf, not bad but not good

11. Sara Kapo - Para Teje : This literaly went nowhere
12. Sergio Hajdini - Vështirë : Not my cup of tea tbh

Luna needs to be hitting the notes... this was quite chaotic.

She looks quite young, though... maybe she can come back whenever she´s become a more experienced singer?
