Shkodra Elektronike, the unique musical group set to represent Albania in Eurovision 2025, made a significant revelation regarding their song Zjerm. The track, which secured their victory at FiK 63, will remain entirely in Albanian as previously announced. However, a major new development has emerged, as the group has approached a male singer to join them in performing the song!

The invitation to the singer and next steps

As revealed in a recent interview, available here, if the singer accepts the offer, Zjerm will undergo some minor adjustments to incorporate his vocal contribution. Otherwise, the song will remain in its original form as it was performed during the FiK 63 final.

Shkodra Elektronike has not disclosed the singer’s identity, but speculation is already swirling, with fans eagerly awaiting further updates on this potential collaboration.
