Agnese Rakovska: “It would be a lie if I didn’t want to return to Εurovision!” | Interview

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Agnese Rakovska represented Latvia in 2017, as part of the band Triana Park and the song “Line”. This year the successful singer decided to return to the national final of the country Supernova and spoke about everything to Apostolis and Eurovisionfun!

How about the staging of Supernova 2024?

“The color blue will dominate, as for me it represents hope and peace! For now I’m thinking of being alone on stage without unnecessary things!”

In her music education program, she organizes music camps for songwriting. That’s where the idea for her participation song was born and she revealed to us that although she didn’t intend to perform the song herself at the beginning, she didn’t manage to find the right person and so she returns to the Supernova stage!

Her experience at Eurovision 2017!

“It’s a crazy trip! That’s why Loreen came back. It would be a lie if I didn’t want to return to this scene. It’s something you conquer because only the best appear on that stage.”

From this year’s participations of Supernova, she has heard only three songs and among them is “Hollow” by Dons, whom he characterized as a very charismatic voice of the country.

“Bet and predictions don’t matter! In 2017 nobody expected Salvador Sobral to win and yet he went on stage alone, sang and won!”

Βelow you can listen to “AI” from Agnese:

We want to wish her best of luck and a huge thank you for this exclusive interview!
