“It’s very exciting to be nominated,” frontman Damiano David told NME. “We didn’t expect it actually. I don’t think we’re going to win because we’re competing with ABBA. ABBA is this thing that’s just so unbeatable. Of course, it would amazing, but for us, it’s just a huge achievement to be nominated.”
Asked who they were most looking forward to on the night, the band named Ed Sheeran and declared that “he’s a good party animal! We had a good party with him”.
For now, fans are excited to know more about the follow-up to their 2021 album Teatro d’ira: Vol. I.
“We just want to let the music lead us,” David replied, coyly. “We just want to write new music and see how it goes.”
And how about some advice for this year’s Eurovision hopefuls?
“Have fun and be yourself. Don’t put too many things on stage. Keep the focus on you and the music.”
