Malta: Listen to the revamped version of “Loop”!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

After more than a month of wait, the revamped version of “Loop” is finally out. “Loop” by Sarah Bonnici was MESC’s 2024 winning entry in early February. Rumors regarding a possible revamp of Sarah Bonnici’s bid for Eurovision 2024 were present for long, the official confirmation of those, however, was done a few days ago.

Listen to the revamped version of “Loop” below:

“Loop” is signed by Sarah Bonnici herself, Atticus Blue, Linnea Deb et al. and its revamped version was recorded in London, UK. Sarah Bonnici even recorded a new music video for her entry in addition to the one filmed in purpose of the Maltese pre-selection.

Even in its MESC 2024 winning version, “Loop” was never made available on streaming services. As a result, her fans were thrilled to hear the news, as evidenced by a brief video Sarah posted on Instagram, in which many fans beg for “Loop” to be released on streaming services.

Sarah Bonnici won MESC 2024 in early February with her entry “Loop” and will therefore represent Malta in Malmö. Malta will perform in the first half of the second semi-final on May 9.
