[Official Video] Emin - Baby Get Higher

When we went to Emin's album playback a couple of weeks ago, Baby Get Higher was one of the tracks that really stood out for us - a mix of confident up-tempo hooks and heartfelt vocals, it's the kind of slick modern pop track that'd feel equally at home in the repertoire of The Wanted or Gary Barlow. As far as launching Emin to a new audience - whose back catalogue already features a plethora of best-selling albums in his native Azerbaijan - it's spot on, and there's a persistent drive to that piano riff that underpins the whole song. With a Radio 2 premiere already notched up, Baby Get Higher is shaping up very nicely to warm Emin to the hearts of the UK, especially when he takes to the Eurovision stage in May.

Baby Get Higher is released on the 21st May.

Introducing... Emin

As Eurovision fever starts hotting up for another year of thrills and spills, let us introduce likeable Azerbaijani chap Emin. There's a video of him below chatting about recording his album and he comes off as very charming, well mannered and into his music. All positive points for an aspiring solo star, and his music's pretty decent too.

Coming across like a sort of toss up between Enrique Iglesias, The Wanted and Ronan Keating, Emin's music touches a lot of bases but resolutely falls in the firm boundaries of big radio-pleasing pop anthems - whether it be the beautiful piano ballad Dead Roses or synthed-up number Never Enough. Our personal favourite is Walk Through Walls though, which goes for a slightly rockier sound.

The clips in the album teaser vid sound promising, so we'll definitely be looking forward to his interval performance during all the fun and games of this year's big Eurovision show.
