Lithuania: Ieva returns to “Pabandom iš Naujo!” with many hopes!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ieva Zasimauskaite hopes to return to the Eurovision stage after four years. She participates again in the Lithuanian national final for the contest.

As we revealed through our social media, we are one of the lucky ones to hear I’ll Be There in advance. Of course the song is in Ieva’s familiar style. It is a ballad, with not as slow tempo as her entry in 2018. The song is built throughout its duration. It starts with a simpler orchestration while in the second part it fills up and we hear some percussion. Its melody is easy to remember, while Ieva’s interpretation fills the listener with emotions and images. On the bridge the song becomes audible, to be completed with a quiet melodic erasure.

Ieva’s appearance in the second qualifying round of Pabandom iš Naujo! expected simple but impressive. The rehearsals started today and what we can reveal to you is that we will see a quite different Ieva compared to her previous participation. We will see more of her feminine side, without of course always losing her elegance.

The video clip of I’ll Be There will be released on Saturday 15/1, the same day that Ieva will present it live for the first time, during the second qualifying round of Pabandom iš Naujo !.

Until then, let ‘s remember once again When We’re Old, with which Ieva won the twelfth place at Eurovision 2018.
