Switched on Pop
Eurovision is back โ€“ but not without controversy

The song goes from this ballad as we hear at the beginning of the song.

So in the back third of this track, she switches it up a little bit and gives it that real element that kind of puts it over the edge for me.

Nate, you kind of have to turn your brain off with these lyrics.

Switched on Pop

Like Eurovision, you need to kind of shut off the part of your brain that understands logic.

So we have vocals, we have interesting composition with that key change, even though I wish it was more of the song, but nonetheless.

And the je ne sais quoi of this track, Eclipse, it grew on me a little bit.
