Sweden | Linda Bengtzing - "Ta mig"

RECENT

Sounds European! has been showing some of the best Eurovision National Finals songs that didn't qualify to the festival itself. Today, it's time to highlight Linda Bengtzing (Gullspång, 1974), one of the best Swedish contestants this year, which somehow didn't manage to qualify even to the Second Chance round (even though it deserved a lot!). "Ta mig" was full of energy, catchy, intense... sad result for a great track.
