Top five konstrakta songs 😊?

Bless you for indulging me. :D

Gonna mix some Zemlja Gruva in there (the group she was a vocalist for) because otherwise it'd be slim pickings.

Sticking this under a cut in case people are sick of me ranting about her already.

In Corpore Sano: The song that started it all! My mom literally called me at work raving about it, and I was very confused because my mom does not care about Eurovision. But after a couple listens, I totally got it. This song has a very meaningful message about our society's obsession with beauty and physical health while neglecting mental health and not providing the proper infrastructure to actually care for our health. The performance is incredible and really adds to the song. Highly 10/10 recommend (the national final version has full English subtitles!)

Mama: This is technically ZG, but unironically, this song is carrying my will to live. It's about feeling connected to previous generations and to the next one and knowing that you're part of a whole. It's very heartfelt, unlike a lot of her other stuff, and comforting and it sounds like a hug.

Mekano: Another one railing against the state of society and how we all just get comfortable in our little grooves and routines and don't do anything meaningful.

Neam Šamana: This one is super ironic and makes fun of celebrity culture and the concept of spirit animals (I think?) (as appropriated by non-Native American people). Also she says "jebiga" ("fuck it") a bunch of times, which is hilarious.

Nisam Znala Da Sam Ovo Htela: Translation: I didn't know I wanted this. Another ZG one, and the lyrics are about how her life turned out different than she expected. The reason why this cracked my top 5 is because I adore the way the music video is filmed, just kind of following her around her apartment. It's very artistic.
