🇦🇱 Reviewing FiK 60: Albania’s got a secret

Music, Society & Culture

Albania treated the world to its favourite music competition in the dying days of 2021. The 60th edition of Festivali i Këngës delivered some amazing songs that no one would have expected to come from Albania. After four days, Albanians chose Ronela Hajati to win the trophy with song, Sekret.

Michael and Liam run through a few of the songs that couldn’t quite get to FiK’s first place, including the songs which made the top 4.

Do you think Sekret was the best choice?

Which song takes Liam aback?

Who’s the thirst trap getting everyone hot under the collar?
