Tim: Thomas, if I were to say to you “EDM meets country dancing”, what would you imagine?
Tom: Avicii.
Tim: One option. Here’s another.

Tom: That… that was not Avicii. What the hell was that?
Tim: Here is what I love about this Latvian reject: the fact that even the lead singer seems far, far more focused on the dancing than on the singing. At the start, she can’t let go of her skirt, as she’s just dreaming of the moment she gets to pick it up and DANCE; at the end, she’s done so much dancing that she’s too out of breath to sing properly. Whoever thought of this deserves either a medal or a criminal record for drug abuse. It is quite, quite brilliant.
Tom: It’s like someone took the whole idea of farm-house music, repeated it down a slightly dodgy phone line to a producer in Latvia, and this was the result.
Tim: Am I upset that it didn’t go through? Yes, because it’d be a wonderful spectacle to have on the Eurovision stage; no, because the eventually winner was, as previously mentioned, the excellent Cake to Bake.
