Malmo 2013 39 For 39: PeR "Here We Go"


Now back in semifinal mode now with "Here We Go" by PeR.

PeR is a trio from Latvia who will represent that country in Malmo in a few weeks. They will be the first to perform in the second semifinal May 16.

"Here We Go" blends pop with rap. It is one of two (I think) songs at Malmo 2013 with some hip-hop element (the other is the Who See Klapa "Igranka," which I will preview later). Rap has never found a place in the ESC, but this sounds good. Take a listen:


To summon this, this has nothing to do with Bud Light. Also they're trying to sound like the band from the Freecreditscore.com commercials (a couple references for us folks here in the states).

I think this could make the grand final May 18. It is just as good as "Beautiful Song" by Anmary, who was the Latvian representative at Baku 2012. No need to compare.

Hope for the best.

Up next: a review of Andrius Pojavis "Something."
