Hi guys, and welcome back to my channel! If you're new here, my name's Rachel and I'm a huge Eurovision fan :) In today's video, I reacted to for the first time, the winning entry to Sanremo 2022 which has been selected for Eurovision, 'Brividi', or 'Chills' by Mahmood and Blanco.
This is Mahmood's second time at Eurovision, after placing as the runner up in 2019, and this time he is back with a duet partner 'Blanco' who is a 19 year old up and coming artist in Italy.
When reacting to 'Brividi', the thing that struck me the most was the beautiful melody line, which was soaring and vulnerable, especially felt in the chorus. There's interesting changes and experimentations with rhythms and motifs which beautifully compliment the Italian language. Mahmood and Blanco's voices blend together like a creamy sauce. The simplicity of the accompaniment was so effective, with a stripped back acoustic layout of a piano, bass, drums, and shimmering strings. The poetic lyrics, with imagery of a diamond bicycle were an interesting and intriguing addition to the song as a whole. The song does need to be cut down to 3 minutes, which could be risky and cause some disjunct sections. Some of the vocal production needs to be tweaked to allow both voices to be heard at the same level. However, all of these things said, I think Italy have once again presented us with a quality song, which refuses to bow down to the expectations and pressures of a 'Eurovision song' and instead shows us authenticity, and beauty.
