Finland: The Rasmus bid for Eurovision 2022 written on Folegandros Island, Greece!!

One of the most famous bands with worldwide hits from Finland, The Rasmus, who are going to claim the representation of the Nordic country at the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, gave an interview on BlabberMouth.net  on 12th of January 2022 and revealed some interesting details regarding their entry, Jezebel.

The Rasmus collaborated with Desmond Child for Jezebel, with whom the have already worked again regarding their album “Black Roses”. Desmond Child has also worked with some of the biggest names of the world rock industry including KISS, BON JOVI, AEROSMITH and ALICE COOPER.

The singer Lauri Ylönen commented regarding their entry:

“It was awesome to work with Desmond again. He really knows how to put a hit song together.”

“‘Jezebel’ is about a girl who takes what she wants, without asking. A free spirit.”

On his behalf, Desmond Child said:

“Lauri gives me a call and says ‘Hey, I need to write the biggest, greatest song in the entire world ever. Will you do it [with me]?’ and I said ‘Yeah, but I am in Folegandros (Greece)’ and he says, ‘I’ll be right there.’

“‘Jezebel’ is an homage, a tribute, to the strong women of today, who own their bodies, who are in charge of their sensuality, their sexuality, and who are determined to be an equal.”

The Rasmus are going to take part at Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2022/UMK 2022, the show that determines the Finnish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest. UMK 2022 is about to take place on 26th of February 2022 and the winner is going to emerge through the votes of the public and the jury.
