Through the devil's door

Stuck for eyewear inspiration?  Looking for something versatile for both work and an evening out? Something that simultaneously looks professional and also shows off your fun side! Well Maruv has the answer. A bond villain with the catchiest instrumental chorus hook of any national final song this year, she delivers with a kind of distracted disengagement that suggests she may not have time to stick around for the whole three minutes.  There appears to be little relation between the proximity of the microphone and the lead vocal which suggest the backing singers may be adding more than a little here, but it adds the overall effect.  Ukraine are a euro powerhouse and have never failed to qualify from a semi-final yet (joined now by only Australia who have had many fewer chances to fail) and if they send Maruv 2019 will be no exception.  This is pop perfection. Bang.

After almost 6 years in the Euro-wilderness, I want to briefly take this opportunity to thank MARUV for the inspiration to return. I'm gonna get that rhythm BOK. Stay tuned.
