AZERBAIJAN 2024
Azerbaijan is sending Fahree and Ilkin Dovlatov with the song "Özünlə apar":
About the Artist
Fakhri Ismayilov comes from a musical family but is a lawyer. He also sings.
Song Analysis
I'm glad Azerbaijan is finally going local with their style instead of sending Melfest rejects. It's the first time they've sent a song in Azeri, and Ilkin's section is extremely traditional. Not sure this song really clicks, though? We'll see.
Azerbaijan's History
Azerbaijan had one of the greatest debut stretches of any country, starting their ESC lives with 6 consecutive top ten finishes, including a win in 2011 with a song nobody really likes. There have long been accusations of corruption and vote-buying with them, though not in 2011, ironically.
Prognosis
Azerbaijan has really struggled with the televote in recent years, and this song just does not have it. Probably another NQ for the land of fire.
