French song announced
There has been much excitement around this year's French entrant, Patricia Kaas, which began with a will-she-won't-she media circus that was recently put to rest via an official statement of her participation. The song has now been announced - it will be S'il fallait le faire from Patricia's latest album, Kabaret. A video is below - thanks to esctoday.com.
On first listen, I'm very impressed indeed with this ballad. The production is great and the 'fairground' instrumentation adds considerable charm. Patricia has a stunning voice and there is no doubt that she will give a strong performance in Moscow. The song is currently too long so we shall see what comes of the 3 min version, as for the moment it might need a little bit more build to pack a punch with the audience in the final. However, I can't imagine how this won't be a huge hit with the juries. Surely this is the most exciting entry to come out of France this decade and a contender for the prize in May.
