A new sound for Jakub

Space Sushi is a new sound for Jakub, who is most known for his guitar-led tracks. This single will “see him dance” with its electronic dance sounds. Talking about the meaning of the song, Jakub explains there’s a message of motivation and perseverance (translated from Czech):

Space Sushi is an incentive for all lazy people to get things done. Space Sushi is a metaphor. For each of us, something else is hidden underneath what we’re doing. For an actor, it’s winning an Oscar. For a father, it’s a house for his family. It is, in fact, a dream to get work done. 

Final line-up revealed on January 7

We’ll find out whether Jakub is amongst the final six ESCZ contenders on January 7th. On this date, ČT will hold a press conference to reveal the participants of ESCZ 2019!
