I like the dreamy atmosphere that's partly created by the instrumentations. But there is nothing here that makes this stand out. And when Fahree isnt able to lift the song vocally in the studio version I doubt he will be able to do so on stage.
I fear this might be another NQ for Azerbaijan. I think that Serbia will get most of the votes for "ballad with regional influence".
I think this could push for a borderline Q tbh. It's not doa like Tell Me More and it only has to beat 5 other countries and like 2 of those are sure NQs.
Plus the 2nd half of semi 1 is a big mess and this kinds of stands out in a way that it isn't too artsy/messy (Slovenia, Portugal, Moldova, Finland, Australia), but also not too bland (Luxembourg, Iceland).
Lite on first listen, but I can see myself downgrading later
The song is ok, but just ok. There were both considerably better and considerably worse entries from Azerbiajan. Stupid me for a moment believed that Azerbaijan will finally send an entry entirely in Azeri after seeing the title. :/ It's bland despite a lot mugam / traditional singing being there.
The fandom loves conventionally good looking men + slay queen entries with women singing. At least the gay part of the fandom which forms a considerable chunk of it.
i'm afraid this might be a bit too uneventful for the average viewer / esc fan but i honestly really really like it. i think it's actually my fave this year. there's no song that i'm totally rooting for this year but i really enjoy this
I like it. Another song that is my kind of music, something to chill to. Azerbaijan is one of my favourite Eurovision countries, they nearly always deliver imo and they did it again.
It's not very competitive but hopefully it can still do better in the public vote than in recent years for Azerbaijan.
