I’ve not heard Sarah live, but based on the video, she has a huge voice, one that tends to be tossed to one side on a song that tries way too hard to merge that Mediterranean Holiday-Happy-Hour beat with something more R&B.
This is one of those dance-break-in-the-middle songs that will be ten-a-penny in Malmo, cancelling each other out. And yet another example of a good voice thrown away on an anonymous song.
Just like always, Malta have entered something that sounds to have been run past every focus group going, resulting in an overall package that lacks any kind of edge for votes to catch on.
Vocal gymnastics fail to lift this above vapidly bland. Five seconds after the song ended, I couldn’t sing a bar of it.
