Het Eurosong ligt intussen al even achter ons. De artiesten die dit jaar meededen, zitten echter niet stil. Naast de populaire Måneskin is ook een andere favoriet van mij goed bezig: Blind Channel. Ze brachten intussen hun nieuwe song Balboa uit. Het is een iets minder energiek nummer dan Dark Side, maar ook Balboa valt wel in de smaak!
”Balboa is a reminder of who we are - who we have always been. It’s a violent pop showoff about getting back up again and again, no matter how hard you’ve been hit. It’s us sticking to our vision without compromise. Underdogs are a dangerous species. This is a call to arms to every hardworking dreamer out there, and the soundtrack of our career so far. We keep coming back.”
