#1 NORWAY Carl Espen – Silent Storm



So, it's time to reveal my favourite song from this year's contest...and unsurprisingly there are violins involved. 

This year Norway seems to be entering Iceland’s traditional haunting Nordic ballad– which is lucky because Iceland has had a brain meltdown and entered the Scandi-Wiggles.

I love this one – and I’m incredibly excited about seeing it live in the B&W Hallerne during Semi Final 2 in just one week's time.

It’s big and dramatic, and sounds like the theme tune to a quality Scandi-noir crime drama (compare and contrast with The Bridge’s incredible opening title song Hollow Talk by the Choir of Young Believers).

I may just have to splash out on a Norwegian flag to wave on the night!
