Eurovision, ok we’ll admit it. It’s the annual show we hate to love but simply can’t turn away from. Just when we thought the competition couldn’t possibly get any more outrageous, along came Måneskin - the steamy Roman quartet that transfixed Europe when they won the competition in 2021.
Some expected the androgynous foursome to reach their expiry date like previous Eurovision winners (who tend to fade into obscurity after the giddiness of the contest dies down) but Måneskin dared to stay. Their debut appearance on the music scene was a dream for some, a nightmare for others, but for most of us it was a return to the genre we thought had long since died - think Velvet Goldmine meets Jim Morrison aesthetics, spliced with catchy, explicit pop anthems.
