Biography
Malcolm Lincoln is the 2010 comet in the Estonian music skies! The artist
whose name was until now only known in the alternative music scene, surprised
the public by winning the Estonian national selection show Eesti Laul
2010. Robin Juhkental, the leader and founder of the band, had written
the track Siren several years ago, but decided to present it to wider
audiences only now, when the Estonian round of the Eurovision Song Contest
underwent a great change last year when more less-known artists were invited
by the broadcaster to join the contest.
Critics have said that Malcolm Lincoln is a charming band, whose music
combines modern electronics and classical big pop and who do not shy away
from any moves to win the listeners' heart: big choruses, sentiment, an
image containing both gay and macho elements, a deadly show and a perfect
performance. Nevertheless, it is not a cheap band - they simply play their
own game.
Malcolm Lincoln was formed in 2009. The band's other member Madis Kubu
aka Fretless Rämbu provides special live support and joins Robin
for live shows.
The band's name is inspired from the TV game "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?",
where a player was once convinced that the first name of the US President
Lincoln was Malcolm and not Abraham. Malcolm Lincoln's back vocals on
the Eurovision stage will be provided by Manpower 4, a quartet formed
especially for the event
