Eurovision 2024: Slovenia’s First Rehearsal!
The second day of rehearsals is now here and all the missions are getting ready for their own rehearsal. Second rehearsal of the day is Slovenia, with Raiven’s representative and the song “Veronika”!
Who is Raiven?
Her electro-pop debut came in 2014, but she came to the fore on the country’s music scene during Slovenia’s national selection, EMA. There, Raiven has been involved with several songs over the years, including Črno Bel (2016), Zažarim (2017) and KAOS (2019).
In 2021, Raiven won at the famous Slovenian music festival Popevka, with her song Volkovi.
In between, she was active in both opera and theater, and after obtaining a master’s degree from the Ljubljana Academy of Music, the singer began to explore the world of electro-opera.
The rehearsal:
Veronika is inspired by the story of Veronika Deseniška, a Slovenian noblewoman who fell in love with a member of the royal family and was accused and acquitted of witchcraft. One of the writers on this track is none other than Bojan Cvjetićanin (Joker Out), singer of last year’s Slovenian entry.
On stage we see Raiven in a dark silver bodysuit – she starts on the floor and her movements cause pulsating graphics on the LED floor. She’s joined by five contemporary dancers in nudes who perform an intricate routine of entwining bodies – the whole performance has a very similar feel to the official video – ethereal, but also VERY dramatic. And those high notes at the end blow the roof off.
The first pyro of the day! It’s low fog and wind for Slovenia, which just adds to the drama.
