In turn, Raiven talking in RTVSLO, revealed some new details about her entry. In detail, in the interview she states that she will stay loyal to her electronic sound, even in her Eurovision entry. She says that:

We remind you that “Veronika” will be presented in RTVSLO, in a special program in January 20. The song is based on Veronika Deseniška (Veronika of Desenice), the second wife of Frederick II, Count of Celje. “Veronika” is based on the woman’s history and will be sung exclusively in Slovene.

The song is written by Raiven, and will be part of her new album, titled “Sirene”, and will be released in February.

Slovenia confirms Eurovision 2024 participation!

Slovenia has confirmed their participation at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

This news do not come as a big surprise after the great success in terms of viewership Eurovision 2023 had in Slovenia.  For instance, the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest this year was watched in Slovenia by more than 895,300 viewers.  Moreover, the Grand Final of this year’s Eurovision has become the most watched television show in the country in the last seven years representing an average of 55% of TV viewers at the time.  The performance of the Slovenian representatives, Joker Out, achieved the highest viewership, when TV SLO 1 got an average 23.2% or 443,500 viewers.

EMA or internal selection

However, it is not clear at this point what will be the selection process for Slovenia’s next representative in Malmö.  As many fans will remember, Joker Out were internally selected.  They gave Slovenia their first pass to the Grand Final since 2019.  Nevertheless it is still too early to rule out another EMA selection because, among other things, the program and business plan for 2024 has not yet been adopted.
