Next up to rehearse is Switzerland’s Remo Forrer. He is delivering our first big ballad of the day. It’s also the second song about war, but this one has a VERY different vibe. Remo is just 21, and was the winner of The Voice of Switzerland 2020, so he’s no stranger to a big TV audience.

Eurovision.tv reports that the Swiss song is quite special. Watergun is a heartfelt and haunting ballad about the tragedy of war, and a universal call for peace. It’s clear that Remo feels a real connection to these lyrics, and his vocal is beautiful. Eurovision.tv reports that staging-wise, he has four contemporary dancers and also dances himself, which they weren’t expecting. The staging for this was created by Sacha Jean-Baptiste, who was also responsible for Switzerland’s G’jon’s Tears in 2021 and Marius Bear in 2022.

Stephan Herholdt created promo CD singles for G’jon tears and Marius Bear and of course now for Remo Forrer. You can see it here.
