With three tracks now published and none holding out much hope for the UK in this year's Eurovision, the pressure is starting to build as we listen to the last three.
The fourth release is Astronaut by Liam Tamne, a name you have to make a distinct effort with the lips to get right. A one-tine Voice UK contender, apparently, although not anyone I remember but he did get congratulated by Kate Bush for his efforts, we're told.
If we want a good-looking bloke for our entry then this is our only chance. He does seem very photogenic which ought to ensure that we get a few votes along the way, although I am not sure Liam's looks beat Asanda's visual personality.
So, the song. It's a gentler number than those that have gone before with a definite Ed Sheeran influence. He is No 1 everywhere at the moment so why They didn't choose Ed as out entry I don't know. Liam has that Ed sound, though, and the song could have been a Sheeran number at a pinch. Lots of falsetto make it a little more interesting but it is all rather innocuous and neither one thing nor another. It just ends in a slightly 'what shall we do now' way as many seem to be doing. I suppose it could be OK but if it were to be our entry then I wouldn't expect it to make Top 10.
