They were finally given the green light to participate from the EBU after originally being barred from this year due to unpaid debts and Macedonia are out for blood after only making the grand final ONCE in the past TEN years (Kaliopi 1.0 for those who aren't up to date on their Macedonian Eurovish knowledge). The broadcaster opened submissions for songs today.

Eye Cue have been internally selected to represent Macedonia with the song Lost & Found! The song will be revealed at a later date, here's an earlier single from the pop-rock group

They need some good luck this year. 1 qualification in 10 years is pretty dismal. "Dance Alone" was great but it was obvious why it fell at the semis last year when it came to live performances and competition.

Dance Alone deserved better.
Loving the sound of Eye Cue! Can't wait to hear their entry

So this is debuting tonight on the Macedonian news

Posted by: Ryan. Mar 11 2018, 03:02 PM

apparently it is tropical pop-rock that is very professionally produced "for Macedonian standards"

Posted by: AdamAloud Mar 11 2018, 07:06 PM

Really taken aback by how good this is actually!

Posted by: LexC Mar 11 2018, 07:10 PM

That’s surprisingly good! Wish that they’d have just picked one chorus and stuck to it rather than trying to jam three different ones into one song!

Posted by: Cameron Mar 11 2018, 07:44 PM

Oh this is really good! Her vocals are beautiful

Posted by: Iz Mar 11 2018, 07:50 PM

I like the band name.

Song's rather good as well. It's the sort of thing that we hope can break Macedonia's awful run of bad luck and it's certainly going to be a good one to listen to, but it's not quite strong enough to be nailed-on for qualification.

This is SO interesting and her vocal tone is amazing, really impressed with this one and it's a shame it is stuck in semi 1!

Posted by: ScottyEm Mar 11 2018, 08:45 PM

Gutting for Macedonia to be lumbered into Semi 1 as I think they’ll struggle again. Otherwise Semi 2 they would likely sail through. A shame, they deserve a break.

Omg this is the No Doubt comeback single we never got! Love it! Macedonia really bringing the goods for me two years in a row now!

The beginning was not very exciting but the chorus makes it pretty fab. That being sad the song feels a bit disjointed and I'm not sure if it will work in its favour or not

Posted by: Midge Mar 12 2018, 12:09 AM

Found myself feeling confused for the first minute, then finding the chorus great, then being confused again because the verses don't really go with the rest of it, but all in all a decent entry. Definitely agree with the No Doubt comparisons.

Posted by: Liаm Mar 12 2018, 01:17 AM

I definitely hear the No Doubt in this - fab It's a shame this is stuck in the wrong semi because Macedonia should and could do well with this if it could snatch a Q place in Semi 2 but ah well

Posted by: Liаm Mar 13 2018, 02:47 PM

The chorus of this is f***ing EVERYTHING I can't get enough of it *.*

Posted by: Cameron Mar 13 2018, 03:28 PM

I am hoping that with excellent staging this could sneak into the Semifinal top 10 like Naviband did last year. Ideally, they will have staging similar to the music video with the band moving around different scenes. Something like Sigrids Graham Norton performance would be good

Posted by: Cameron Mar 14 2018, 11:22 PM

I really can't get enough of this right now, it is really challenging for my #1 spot

Posted by: Midge Mar 15 2018, 02:13 AM

It's getting stuck in my head - it is a great chorus. I think its problem is it just sounds so disjointed from the verses. I think it'd flow better if they cut out the first bit before the verse, perhaps?

#JudgingFromTheVideoWithoutSound

The pink outfit killed me

5/10.

Posted by: Midge Mar 23 2018, 02:15 AM

I'm confused as to why you'd judge a song without listening to it

Anyway - is anyone else unable to find this on Spotify? I've found it on Apple Music.

Posted by: Liаm Mar 23 2018, 02:16 AM

Yep it's not on Spotify for some reason

Posted by: Cameron Mar 23 2018, 07:53 AM

Yeah not listening to it defeats the purpose since it’s a bloody song contest

Posted by: Hayzayy Mar 23 2018, 08:35 AM

Because I had no sound on my computer
