I loved how ‘Light me up’ started, and felt it was going in a very different direction to the one it chose. It has a slight air of mid 90s boy band pop, with a hint of something more modern – and that could describe at least a third of the songs this year.
The official video is still half a minute too long, and it’s fairly easy to see where cuts might be made, especially after the first chorus where things lose momentum.
Overall, it’s a competent pop-song even if the chorus feels like a let down, although things kind of grind to a halt with no real end punch.
Poland always seems to over-perform on the scoreboard, and I see this as no exception to the rule.
