Finland: Listen to the seventh song for UMK 2024!
The finnish broadcaster has released the seventh and last song competing in UMK 2024, the finnish national final for Eurovision 2024.
The song is “Vox Populi” by Mikael Gabriel x nublu and you can listen to it here:
Mikael Gabriel and Estonian rapper nublu are among the most successful rap artists in their respective countries. Released in 2010, Mikael Gabriel’s debut album Pohjosen poika was well received, and the singles on his 2015 album Versus broke streaming records even before the album was officially released.
Nublu rose to become Estonia’s biggest artist and rap phenomenon when he was voted Hip-Hop/Rap/R&B Artist of the Year in 2020. A collaboration by Gabriel and nublu, Universum, was released that same year, quickly rising to become one of the most listened-to singles in both countries on Spotify.
Mikael Gabriel x nublu’s UMK entry is called Vox Populi. The song talks about how it is sometimes hard to know what’s true and what isn’t in such polarised public forums.
“The song deals with political and cultural divides, saying that even though we’re all entitled to our own opinions, it doesn’t necessarily make them true. Everyone should use their voice, but at the same time you should also keep in mind that you will be judged no matter what,” says Gabriel.
We remind you that the artists/songs competing to represent Finland will be revealed in this order:
Thu, 11 January Cyan Kicks – “Dancing With Demons”Fri, 12 January Sexmane – “Mania”Mon, 15 January Sara Siipola – “Paskana”Tue, 16 January Jesse Markin – “Glow”Wed, 17 January Windows95Man – “No Rules!”Thu, 18 January Sini Sabotage – “Kuori Mua”Fri, 19 January Mikael Gabriel x NUBLU – “Vox Populi”
