Previewing Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2025: May the best Finn win

One of the most exciting national finals is upon us, as Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu returns for 2025. Finland‘s UMK (or New Music Competition) continues to deliver some amazing tunes, all worthy of heading to Eurovision.

Michael runs through the six songs in the running for the UMK win, and shares his thoughts about the possibilities.

What would make Australian radio?

Who’s Michael’s pick for the win?

Can the juries be trusted?
