It's that moment you've all been waiting for...
Over the last few years we've seen the Everlasting Boy grow from an slightly creepy chancer to an artist of some merit. So when we learned that he'd upgraded his first name to a more adultified Alex, and apparently enlisted the help of some local punky types we became really optimistic about his chances this year.
But then we saw his song title and were sent back to his early days of lyrical unease.
However, like much of his finest work, it's not a matter of simple outrage. OK, so we know that Sasha has a slightly different outlook on life to the rest of us, and that his relationship with youth is more innocent than it apparently appears. But with a lyric like this we can't help but be drawn back to the likes of I Love The Girls, and the gooseflesh begins to creep.
But also like his debut hit, the chorus is insistent and instantly infectious, and once heard you'll find yourself singing it on the bus and over coffee at work - which could lead to potentially awkward results. Which is kind of what Bognibov love is all about.
So proceed with caution, because you're going to be singing this under your breath all flipping week. Good work my Moldovan friend. Good work!
At least he is consistent with his output!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we don't know for certain what is happening with Moldova yet which is a bit strange - are they 'doing a Russia' and leaving any announcements until as late as possible?
