Oh my goodness! Yes! :D

I forgot I was listening to it after the chorus kicked in, literally next to zero impression made. Oops.

Omg. Forgot "The Dream" existed :puke2: can't relate to you at all on the vocal either, that was half the problem for me, just all round awful for me! Sorry! I grew to really quite like the Belgian entry in the lead up to the contest, then THAT happened on stage. Proper rabbit in the headlights awkwardness, poor lad. The Portuguese entry I wasn't really fussed with leading up to the contest nor at the contest, yet after the contest it really grew on me and I definitely wouldn't place it that low. Conversely the opposite happened to me with the Danish entry which for some reason I thought was a potential winner when I first heard it, but its twee-ness got to me in the end. Just no, thanks.

Ah! Well I wouldn't call them particularly commercial, they just happened to have mainstream success. That's me though.

If Disclosure started churning out the type of music we've been hearing from the likes of Joel Corry, Endor, Regard or Sigala then I'd be both very worried and disappointed. These guys are so much better than that. Really liking what I've heard from these 2 tracks, as well as what I heard on their iamspamspamamiset the other day :D

N'awww I thought it was gonna be the Foals collab :(

Was listening to their iamspamspamamiset whilst we were eating dinner, was enjoying it! No idea if they played "Ecstasy", will check that out tomorrow.

Of the 2 so far it's certainly "At The Door" that grabs my attention. Really, really liking it.

*whispers* it's MARUV

Oh yeah forgot about ADELE. Gwon girl, make this your long awaited comeback :lol: SURELY this is why she delayed her album release at the end of last year ;)

Mabel doesn't excite me so I'm not bouncing off the walls but at the same time I'd be happy if this was announced :D (Am I the only one who'd actually love it to be Duffy now?)

People aren't just throwing Mabel out there for any old reason though!

I heard Drake is rumoured with a song written by Guy Chambers. Really though there's no reason why we shouldn't be excited by a prospect. It's just a bit of fun guessing who it might be. It will be what it will be. And there are signs suggesting it could be Mabel. Out of the other legit suggestions I'm not sure who Radio 1 would care about?

Can't even remember how Georgia's goes, but remember really not liking it. Also remember really not liking the Israeli entry too, though did actually enjoy his performance of it on the stage, and how much it meant to him. Both of these were certainly in my bottom 5 nonetheless of 2019. The other 3 were inoffensive but that's about it, so I can see why you've ranked them poorly.

That's how I feel. It hasn't really grabbed me at all. I'm not sure I'm enjoying this style of vocal right now though. Too poppy for me.

I asked but I just didn't tell you I asked! The Eurovision bug hasn't hit me in 2020 yet so I need your help!

I think it's probably just the two of us that enjoyed that one :lol: Guilty pleasure, not sorry. Anyway. I've no idea who these are signed to but... Hurts - they're perennially rumoured, aren't they? Birdy Giggs Sigma Foals Keane Not3s Wiley Robyn collaborating with a British writer Biffy out of Biffy Clyro Hurts or Birdy are slightly possible I guess. I'd prefer Duffy over Steps (though thought Duffy had 'retired' from mainstream life as she hates it hence why we never hear from her), and tbf Mabel would be a decent send even though I've never been fussed on her. Kylie is a possibility too actually, saw her name mentioned, I think she would now. Imagine ROBYN though :wub:

Well that was excellent on first listen!

Good choice! "I Can Hardly Speak", "Good Day" and "I Worry Bout You" I think would also be good choices. This is a great album, my favourite of albums released this year so far (of the ones I've heard).

By miles - "You Don't Know Me".

Album from German alt-folk act Milky Chance was out 19/11/2019 and features the (rather great) singles "Daydreaming" (ft Tash Sultana) and "Fado". Worth checking out. Bringing me mid 2010s vibes in 2020. Has also gotten me back into "Down By The River" and "Stolen Dance", great songs :wub: TRACK LISTING: 1. Fado 2. Oh Mama 3. The Game 4. Rush (ft Témé Tan) 5. Long Run 6. Daydreaming (ft Tash Sultana) 7. We Didn't Make It To The Moon 8. Eden's House (feat. Ladysmith Black Mambazo) 9. Scarlet Paintings 10. Right From Here 11. Fallen 12.

Thanks Dan My thinking is similar to LMLou's - though a better quality song than "I Don't Care" may hold more attention. That said that isn't exactly how it works in reality :P

Excited for this, I don't get excited for too many releases these days. "Overtime" and "Adore You" were real 10/10s though "Mirage (Don't Stop)" never ended up really exciting me, though I still enjoy it somewhat. Think it'll be better in an album context. I also hope all 4 of these songs will be part of an album!! It has been an incredible start so far!

How quickly did "I Don't Care" drop off? I'm guestimating Billie's figures to maybe half over the next week.
