ManuElla will represent Slovenia at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest with her song Red And Blue. Here she talks to ESCCovers.com –
Hello ManuElla. Many congratulations on winning the EMA competition and therefore representing Slovenia at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden. Can you tell us how you felt when you realised you had won?
Hello. Thank you so very much. When I won Slovene national selection for ESC I was completely overwhelmed. So many emotions ran through me at that moment, it is even hard to describe it. I felt so much gratitude, joy and excitement and I can still feel it all!
‘Red And Blue’ is a feel good pop/country song. Is this a style of music you normally like to perform?
I like performing many different genres, but I feel pop/country is a style of music where I can show my emotions and passion for singing. I find myself in it and I think that’s very important for a singer and performer.
Will there be any other versions of ‘Red And Blue’ (for example a Slovenian version or remixes)?
So far there are no plans for a Slovenian version or any remixes, but we did record a newer version of ‘Blue And Red’ with small changes that you’ll all hear on the ESC.
Do you have any plans for a tour to other countries to promote your song?
We are still arranging the last few details about the promotional events. I think the first one is held in Amsterdam, so I hope to see you there!
Can we expect an album of your music soon?
Yes! I was working on my first album before EMA 2016, it is on hold for now of course, but after the ESC, I’m going back to the studio and to writing new songs.
Have you heard the other Eurovision entries this year? If so do you have any favourites at this time?
If I can be completely honest, I haven’t had a chance to listen to all of them yet. As soon as things calm down a little bit, I will. There are so many good artist every year, I am sure this year is no different.
Anway good luck ManuElla in Sweden.
