France - Slimane - Mon Amour

4 - 445 pts,  not in semi 

The first chosen song we heard for Malmö is Mon Amour by Slimane.
France surprised us by releasing the song on November 8, just a day after the announcement.

Mon Amour is written by Slimane Nebchi himself with Yaacov Salah and Meïr Salah.

A remix, the Meya rework, was released on April 11.

The version on the official Malmö has some minor mastering changes to the original version. Mainly the orchestra is lower in the second half and the voice and piano are more upfront. Any thoughts?

(See comments, thanks Sander)

For promotiononal purposes a 7"vinyl single and a cdsingle have been issued.

both have the original version and the Meya rework on the b-side/ as track 2.
