Well, it means a thick atmosphere for us and is a mix of at least 4 languages.

You are one of the participants of Eesti laul 2016. How did it all begin?
Well, Oliver asked me (Joonas) to help out and write a few of his songs with him. We finished the first song and submitted it a day before closure. Everything after that has been a fairytale.
