37th place: North Macedonia | Martinijan Kirilovski - "Ledeni zagrljaj"
Martinijan Kirilovski is a Macedonian singer who was born in Kumanovo. His single "Ledeni zagrljaj" had an instant effect on us: it was love at first listen. It's a masterpiece song, with an extremely beautiful melody and an outstanding vocal performance by Martinijan. The choir in the background during the chorus is the perfect cherry on top for this grandiose track. It's our song of the week!
