We’re back with part two of our conversation with Andres Artiles Jerrik, who has been working closely with Danish musical acts like Reiley, Aura Dione, and SABA on their Eurovision visuals and music. We discuss what makes a good Eurovision song - broad popularity or staying true to the local culture of the nation it represents and what the Danish audience can expect from their representation in Malmö. 
Andres is spilling even more tea and sharing all of his opinions on this year’s show. You’re about to hear our top picks, Eurovision predictions, and our all-time favorite Eurovision Song Contest acts of all time - including the one that was part of Derek’s wedding day.
