Electro Velvet - Still in Love (UK Eurovision Entry 2015)

It's here. What do you think?



Well ... it's alright. It's certainly different fare to the usual UK Eurovision entry. Electroswing is definitely not my thing (this is), but it has just enough cheesy quirkiness to go down well with the Eurovision audience. And the scatting in the middle reminds one of the late and much-missed Scatman John, which will endear our entry to come corners of Europe.

The fly in the ointment is, unfortunately, the appalling lyrics. Have a listen. Alex is acting the part of the controlling boyfriend who's laying the law down to Bianca about how she should and shouldn't behave on holiday. Basically if she "gets into trouble" while out on the lash it's because she didn't handle herself well. Come on, this is 2015. Is that the sort of message we want to be putting out there?
