Sheldon Riley: Not The Same
Not The Same is everything you would expect from a Sheldon Riley song.
Deep, rich and powerful vocals are the initial standout of this track.
Sheldon’s emotive and powerful story is equal to the strength of his voice.
Every moment of the song carries the listener on a journey as the song builds to it’s climax.
Rich with character, style and story Not the Same is the perfect Eurovision track.
In preparation for the competition he spoke to Qnews about Not The Same.
“It’s a very personal song. It was never going to be the Eurovision song, ever,” he said.
“It’s very dark, it’s orchestral, it’s stripped back, it’s everything that I have watched back of myself and said yeah that really worked, that was really strong,” he gushed.
