Quite forgettable ordinary pop song you can hear on any music channel here. It won't stand a chance against all those female bops that we have this year.
I'm wondering about the other song they ditched.

"...
Standing naked
Putting on fake smiles "

Yes pls

It's quite uptempo with a hummed drop. Sounds very, very similar to this song in the chorus:

The track is already available on iTunes New Zealand

I like the song but it's not as good as 2018 and 2019 obviously. Good uptempo with a good beat, sometimes too repetitive. I have listened in a bad quality video I'm waiting the high quality one to give my mark

 

[Uto]

One minute to go.

 

[Gera11]

It's better than I was expecting! Not bad at all.

 

[Charly]

Nope not this time Cyprus

 

[Uto]

That was just a bad song. Melodically weak, production wasn't really doing anything for the song except providing a basic canvas. I don't see how this can ever become something solid. Cyprus begging for an NQ here.

Tbh I thought I would be into this after another listen but no I'm not... I have no problem with being generic but it's a bit cheesy and average, I'm not into the chorus as much as I expected too... In that semi 1? Well...

I am sorry. THIS IS NOT GOOD at all. His vocals are like autotuned to death. And the song is not going anywhere, like 3 minutes of trance-electro pop music. It's not even catchy at all. I am going to give this a 3 on my first impression.

 

[Gera11]

Sounds like something we'd have on radio. One of the composers is even Romanian lol (Octavian Rasinariu). Interesting to see Alfie Arcuri there as well.

Why is the sound so low tho? I initially thought it was my headphones

 

[Zonne147]

Sounds like something that could be played in a clothing store

 

[Mainshow]

OMG what kind of Dark Room Anthem is that!?

 

[EscGeek]

First impression: Very middle of the road. 2020 is full of them. I think i need more plays.

Cyprus has become a useless ESC country in the last 4-5 years.

This is a very dull club song and needs to stay in the semis.

 

[Nicholas123]

I'm afraid Cyprus is in trouble in semi 1...

 

[Leydan]

My first thought: thank you jesus its not some 'bless am so emotion with my guitar, hipster hat and slow love ballad teen girls come at me'.

I like it, it definitely exceeds my expectations, but i find it so ordinary and a bit basic. Even if it is a very radio friendly song, reminds me of some of our music. Of the back of Eleni and Tamta it feels like a step down though. Idk how competitive this going to be semi 1. I need more listens but atm im feeling very middle of the road.

 

[RainyWoods]

I don't hate it. In fact some elements are nice even. I'd like the beats though to be crunchier. They are not hitting me hard enough. Biggest problem of all is Sandro himself. His voice is weak. This is the studio version and you can hear his struggles. He makes it a weirdly uncomfortable listen. With electro pop like this you either want someone who is gonna punch right through it like a boss or a singer with a celestial tone. He provides neither.

5 points.

I've listened to better Cypriot songs. I'm not referring to eleni. I'm not a fan of this song. Sorry not sorry. I don't like his voice and its repetitive. 2 pts from me..

 

[Gera11]

Based on what I heard from his Selectia Nationala interval act performance, he's not very good live. Like at all :"D
