My Take
Vlatko Ilievski is the kind of artist I instinctively root for. Representing a small nation on Eurovision's vast stage with "Rusinka" in 2011 carries a weight that bigger acts rarely feel, and his roots in the rock band Moral plus his work as a stage actor reveal a genuinely broad performer. There is something moving about an artist who refuses to be boxed into one craft. His death in 2018 at just thirty-three feels cruelly premature, cutting short a voice that had already secured its place in Macedonian pop-rock history. I'd rather we remember the range and the courage than the brevity.
