Australia: Listen to Andrew Lambrou’s new song for Australia Decides 2022!
A few hours ago, another song of the national selection process of Australia “Australia Decides 2022″, was released. As Andrew Lambrou has been teasing us for quite a while already, his song called “Electrify” was to be released this Friday 11 February.
The song is already out on YouTube and you can listen to it below:

Andrew Lambrou – Electrify
Who is Andrew Lambrou
Andrew Lambrou is 23 years old, lives and works in Sydney. He writes and performs his own songs, starting at the age of five.
At the age of just 17 years old, he impressed all four judges of XFactor Australia, and he advanced to the next stage quite easily. He received amazing feedback by the XFactor judges and global megastars – Danii Minogue, James Blunt, Chris Isaak, Guy Sebastian – Andrew got through the first phase with four YESes, after he’d performed “Chains” by Nick Jonas.
At the second phase, the one of five seat challenge, the coach of the boys under 25, Chris Isaak, had to choose just five of the guys to move on to the next phase. Andrew sang “Ain’t nobody” by Chaka Khan secured his place at the Top 5.
It’s worth noting that Andrew Lambrou was already well known, long before he took part in the XFactor Australia, as he was used to uploading videos of him doing song covers of massive worldwide hits, on his YouTube Channel.
Sadly, when he reached the phase of Super Home Visits, he was not lucky enough to advance to the Top 3 and take part in the live shows. This was due to him being too young and not experienced enough, at the same time. However, music industry moguls such as Simon Cowell commented on him really positively.
