This year’s Eurovision Song Contest was one wild ride, and it’s given us some pretty amazing songs along the way. Some of them are blowing up on streaming services as we speak, and we’re bringing you four of the most memorable acts.
Nemo – “The Code”
Voting was more tense than ever this year, but the Swiss contestant Nemo eventually came out victorious. They’re the first non-binary winner of Eurovision, and their song “The Code” sees them breaking the binary view of gender and embracing their true identity.
Baby Lasagna – “Rim Tim Tagi Dim”
Baby Lasagna’s “Rim Tim Tagi Dim” entered the contest as the bookie’s favorite, and finished second after winning the public vote. It sees the Croatian singer offering a humorous take on a pretty serious subject – the mass exodus of young people leaving his home country in search of a better life.
Joost Klein – “Europapa”
Despite being disqualified ahead of the grand final, Joost Klein is making waves on Spotify with his song “Europapa”. It initially entered the contest as one of the favorites, and it sees the Dutch singer paying homage to his late parents.
Bambie Thug – “Doomsday Blue”
Ireland’s representative Bambie Thug stirred a lot of commotion with their song “Doomsday Blue”. They bewitched the audience with this genre-bending track, which falls under the genre that they describe as “ouija-pop”.
