/0 Comments/in , /by

As you’ve already read in our past articles, a while ago, the sixth and final song bidding to represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, premiered on RTÉ Radio 1, during the “Ryan Tubridy Show“, at 10:00 CET.

 

The next song hoping to represent Ireland this year is “Yeah, we’re gonna get out of it” by Miles Graham and you can listen to its extended version below:

Who is Miles Graham

Miles was first play-listed on BBC Radio 2 in 2015 with his track “I Can’t Love You Again” from his debut EP “Air in my lungs”.

The Dublin-born singer-songwriter was one of the final Irish acts to perform in session on the late great Sir Terry Wogan’s Radio 2 show. His soulful toned voice won him a lot of support elsewhere on the station like Cerys Matthews at 6 Music and Laura Whitmore BBC Radio 5 show.

He’s also carved out a sideline niche as a featured artist and co-writer on several dance records. His collaboration on DJ outfit L’Tric’s “1994″ on their Ibiza anthem in 2016, which has clocked over 10 million Spotify plays. Don Diablo’s “Bright Skies (The bit you know)” 2018 and DJ Tom Budin’s “Reckless”.

His latest 4 track EP “All the right things” was produced when he signed to Pressure Records/Peer Music UK in 2020.

The rest of the songs

Now we know the entire lineup of contestants, that will compete in the hopes of representing Ireland, at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, in Turin.

The selection process

All the above-mentioned songs will compete with each other in the Late Late Eurovision Special, on the 4th of February, which will act as this year’s national final for Ireland. Ryan Tubridy will be the presenter of the show, where the Irish entry of this year will be selected.

A week ago, the Serbian broadcaster, RTS, announced the participants’ list and song titles for the new Serbian national final “Pesma Za Evroviziju 2022“. However one of the participants, Stefan Zdravković, will not finally participate in the show!

Through his personal Instagram account Stefan confirmed that we will not be seeing him in the Serbian final this year.

The question was “How is your song for Beovizija?” and he answered saying

“About Beovizija, we will see each other either in the next or some other year”

The singer did not give any further explanation about his withdrawal, although when asked why giving up on such an opportunity for his career he answered

“Yes, Beovizija (and Eurovision) is of course a great opportunity but it’s not the only one. The Eurovision Song Contest will also be there next year, I’m not giving up on it. Everything comes in its time”

He also revealed that his song “Ljubi Svog Čoveka”, written by Valentina Vukomanović, was pop and it might end up being sung by some other singer, as she holds all the copyrights. Stefan mentioned that’s what he thinks should happen but he can not guarantee anything. RTS still has not confirmed anything about the song being sung by some other artist or mentioned another solution.

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.

The band’s song Jezebel, which is already the big favourite according to the bookmakers, is going to be released tonight at 00.01 ΕΕΤ and you can watch it below.
