Francesca Michielin – a new discovery, to me

Three year old song, that still feels fresh – and a perfect track to work to: “Francesca Michielin – Distratto”, from 2012. I sit and draw drawings, illustrations for my coming book project with my illustrations, using Corel Painter and my wacom. Wearing my headphones, despite being at my home office alone, only with our dog next to me in the house.

Great music with the Italian artist, pop singer, Francesca Michielin, who sang this weekend at the Eurovision song contest in Stockholm Globe Arena. The same night Justin Timberlake performed brilliantly at the show as well. Her song at the Eurovision was “Nessun grado di separazione”, 2016.

Francesca, she have already had a career for several years, despite her young age. None of her songs seemes to have been aired on Swedish radio channels, a disgrace really. Probably because she sings in italian, mostly. Also odd, because we are not afraid of listening to italian pop stars. Sad, because it is really good. Thanks to me watching the Eurovision, I suddenly got another great pop musician, singer to listen to while I work with my illustrations and designs.

Take a moment, and discover her music. It is well worth the time. I am still amazed that so few talked about her as a favorite in the Eurovision. I mean, here you have a very competent singer, artist, and she is bypassed by Russia and Ukraine? Mad.

Well,  that´s Eurovison – the upside down world.

Thank you for the music.

Ps. Of course, three is a good number, so here a third tune, and really wonderful one: “25 Febbraio”. Enjoy.
