The public broadcaster CyBC has announced that the rock band Minus One will represent Cyprus at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden. The band are very popular in Cyprus and actually took part in the Eurovision selection in 2015 with the song Shine.
The song will be composed by Eurovision veteran from Sweden Thomas G:son, who wrote the 2012 winning song by Loreen entitled Euphoria. It is expected Thomas will go back to his roots and compose a rock song for the competition.

Oooh, Thomas G:son. That’s almost an automatic indicator that I’ll like it. I’m looking forward to this entry!
Scott, if you remember one of the tasks I started was that Moldova asked Thomas for a song, maybe Cyprus saw this and they contacted Thomas – we hopefully he will give MINUS ONE a great song, so that we talk of them as PLUS ONE.
