For our third instalment of The Battle of the Songwriters, there is someone we really cannot miss. Not only because in the last decade he has contributed 11 entries to the contest, two of which were actual winners, but because throughout Europe, he has composed a whopping 117 songs for national selections. You might not always like what Thomas G:son is putting out there, but we cannot deny he really is putting out a lot of it!

And in case you haven’t overdose on Swedish pop yet, we bring you yet another Scandinavian crafted bop thanks to Austrian icon Kaleen, who’s done Eurovision from basically every angle, and this year she’s here to also do the Laugh Laugh Please Please interview rounds. Not that she needs it, but I guess she knows we have a 100% qualifying rate so far…

Welcome to part two of The Battle of the Songwriters, where we feature a more modern perspective in song creation for Eurovision. As years go by, the attention span of the audience shortens and the act needs to be captivating from the very first second. Let Laurell Barker pull her magic pen to grace us with some of the best entries of the 2020s.

We also talk to another 2024 alum who knows what it is to write for the Eurovision stage, Supernova winner Dons. Where does he come from, where does he go? Tune in to this episode if you really want to know.

This week we debut a new format that will help you make sense of all of those seemingly random Eurovision songs that have become your favourites, or those that you don’t know why but can’t help to despise.

We’re bringing you The Battle of the Songwriters, a 4-part saga where we’ll deep-dive in the works of some of the most iconic ESC creators. And to kick it all off, what better option than one of the classics: Ralph Siegel, the legendary German author that has been penning songs for the contest for decades!

And to sweeten the deal even more, we got Sara Bonnici in the studio to tell us all about her hopes, her dreams, her inspiration, and not much about her plans for the Malmö stage, that will have to wait a little longer…
