Will Love Set The UK Aflame ?

National Finals, Reports

It’s out, in a somewhat dark 3/4 time and has strong echoes of the man in black.

The United Kingdom has revealed its entry for Baku to be sung by veteran crooner Engelbert Humperdinck.

The UK eschewed a national selection process after recent failures and opted instead for a behind closed doors approach.

The gasps that greeted the announcement of Engelbert as singer may not be replicated with the release of his song “Love Will Set You Free”.

Within minutes of the song’s release Hikki & AJ came up with this instant podcast reaction.

Here is the instant reaction - and yours ???
