Gianluca follows a part time singing career, having had some success on Malta as part of the group Funk Initiative. No funk involved in this song, however. Tomorrow, much like Hungary's entry Kedvesem, is a very simple tune. In fact, it would not go amiss on a Jason Mraz album. Think ukulele and staccato vocals.
Gianluca sings it well, even if he does have to put up with some silly lyrics at the beginning. It's light, cheery, hummable and strangely catchy. The more I hear it, the more I like it. But that may be its problem: is it memorable enough first time around to qualify?
There is nothing like it in its semi-final, which in my opinion is the weaker of the two. That should help it, as will its singalong refrain, which hopefully the crowd will join along with. Hopefully, we'll hear this one again in the Final.
Malta will perform in sixth place in the second semi-final on May 16.
What do you feel about Tomorrow?
