HEARTBEAT Justs

This is one of the most modern tracks in the year's pack. Justs will kick off Semi Final 2 with his electro/ R&B number "Heartbeat". Being one of 2016's strongest songs, it deserves to be among the entries performed during the Grand Final.

SLOW DOWN Douwe Bob

A country-flavoured song took Dutch group The Common Linnets to 2nd place in 2014. This year's entry is a pop/ country crossover track which should attract enough votes to qualify in Semi Final 1 for the Grand Final. Its lyrics, co-written by the artist, remind us to not be restricted by the demands of modern living.
