Very glad to be on a qualification streak now!! Something I dreamed of for a really long time Thanks for all the votes and I hope Vincy can get a new peak too
Brief reactions to NQs:
SF1:
Now this is one of the strongest if not the strongest semis I have ever voted in. This semi is even better than some of the finals this year. Of course there are bound to be shock NQs. Please don't feel disheartened if this is the case!
The synths are going really hard in this one. I find it quite an enjoyable listening experience. STINAKO is not afraid to explore different sounds and textures. I commend sending this song but sadly I think it's too alt for NNMC.
This is a shock NQ as I thought this would be accessible enough to qualify but then it's in a bloodbath semi too. This is catchy and is some of the best Balkan bangers I've ever heard. I wish the song is longer and maybe with a bridge and final chorus which will elevate the song even more.
This is also a nice bop too and I wouldn't mind if this qualified too.
This is at my 11th place. Ghostly Kisses is really good with these slow and developing songs. Unfortunately if Clay couldn't qualify, this probably wouldn't too. It takes quite a long time to build and during the buildup it feels like it wasn't capturing my attention enough.
SF2:
I wasn't having high hopes with this collab but this surprised me a bit. The production is pretty solid and I love the style as well. I do fear this fading into the background a bit as it is quite a lowkey song compared to the rest. Sad to see this NQ.
When I first heard of this song in my routine weekly listenthrough, this immediately grabbed my attention with the offset between the melody of the vocals and the instrumental which creates a jarring harmony that captures my attention and stunningly works for me. This is out-of-the-box stuff and I'm pleasantly surprised to hear this in NNMC. Again same with Finland this feels a bit too alt for NNMC too but I commend sending this gem.
SF3:
I absolutely loved the indie vibes in this song. It's soothing while the melody varies enough to keep my attention. It's great for easy listening. I'm somewhat shocked to see this NQ but then it might also be a bit too indie for NNMC?
NOW HOW DID THIS NQ? This is so catchy and I'm so glad to have discovered this song! I also commend the effort of finding this bop as Saint Kitts and Nevis is not an easy country to find new music at all. It is iconic. Hope to see this sent in other contests. I want this song to do well!
