The Eurovision race is heating up. With over half of the entries now revealed, the bookies are favouring Finland's violin driven showstopper for the win, while the revelation that Delta Goodrem would be representing Australia sent them soaring up the odds. Having revealed a few weeks ago that Look Mum No Computer would be representing the UK at Eurovision, the artist appeared on BBC Radio 2 this morning to finally unveil his entry.

Having already been met with a wave of criticism for choosing an artist who is not really as well known as the artists representing other countries, the museum curator and viral Tik Tok star has spent the time between announcement and reveal showing that he may be a force to be reckoned with due to his unusual instrument library and quirky presence – which both bode well for the Eurovision memorability factor.

But the important missing ingredient was the song. With the title, Eins, Zwei, Drei, revealed on Monday, the title is only a subtle nod to the language spoken in the host country, Austria, rather than a fully German language release.

With the song leaning towards the synth-heavy 80s sound that has re-dominated the charts in recent years, the overall song has a surprisingly indie edge to it. There is a touch of Gary Numan, a whole lot of Madness, but also a hint of the Courteeners. Neither was fully anticipated, but both work.

The song does have a chorus and a drive to it, both key factors in Eurovision success – however, it does really lack the instant appeal that Eurovision begs of the more casual. This song is definitely a grower and not a shower.

That being said, Look Mum No Computer already has a strong following in Europe, has sold out many tours, and is able to bring his unique presence to the mix. While this may not be the strongest radio hit, there is a possibility that it could stand out on the mix with the right staging on the night, especially if the performance highlights its emotional depth and engages the audience effectively.

The initial reaction to the announcement has been proven unfair. The song may not be an obvious winner, but there is little doubt this little anthem will grow on each listen and build an army behind it by the time Eurovision arrives. We could just land slightly higher than last year, but let's not hold our breath for a repeat of Katrina.
