BELGIUM 🇧🇪 Hooverphonic replaced Luka Cruysberghs and got back Geike Arnaert. VRT has already confirmed that Geike will be going to Eurovision along with band founders Alex Callier and Raymond Geerts. Geike says: “We wanted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the record together. Just talking about it brought back many happy memories. It’s a strange sensation. I get back into it with great pleasure. I don’t know how the fans will react. But it really feels good for me. I’m going to put my own story in the songs again.” Alex Callier says: “Of course it is a bit bittersweet for Luka. She is an excellent singer, without a doubt. We had three wonderful years with Luka. But our collaboration ends here. We have travelled across Europe and the United States, and we have had many memorable moments together. We continue to support her with all our heart. She will get a solo single from Universal and if Luka wants that, I will, of course, continue to accompany her solo.” READ MORE ON OIKOTIMES.CO.UK __________________________________ #eurovision #oikotimes #openup #jesc #jesc2020 #movetheworld #melfest #umk #eurovisiongr

The song, released exactly 20 years ago, was re-recorded by the group at an instrumental and voice level, giving it a “more melancholy and disturbing tone“.

Chosen internally, Hooverphonic would have represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with “Release Me”, a song that would dispute the first semifinal of the event.

The group has already been confirmed as the country’s representative in next year’s competition.

SERBIA 🇷🇸 We needed a bad song and we got it. Hurricane presented a bad mix of Balkan sound with disco tune in LOCO LOCO. Impossible to understand it, feel it and dance with it. Maybe the song presentation will change our minds. The Balkan banger was composed by Nemanja Antonić (also behind Hurricane’s Hasta la Vista) while Darko Dimitrov worked with him on the arrangement. Band member Sanja Vučić wrote the lyrics. 4 0
