The cheers were huge, the celebrations were great: In May, Nemo won the Eurovision Song Contest and sent Switzerland into ecstasy. Now a new song has been released.
Almost five months after winning the Eurovision Song Contest, Nemo has released a song for the first time. The track “Eurostar” was released on Spotify on Friday night, followed by the first music video on YouTube at 1 p.m.
This is Nemo’s new song.
In contrast to the ESC winning song “The Code”, “Eurostar” remains without operatic elements or major stylistic changes. The song has a Eurodance style, suddenly with a hard beat in the verse, then none at all in the chorus.
Party night as a theme
Like “The Code”, “Eurostar” is also about Nemo’s life – but a completely different side of it. While Nemo shows a vulnerable side in the song that won the ESC with the theme of nonbinarity, “Eurostar” is about Nemo’s wild side. Biel’s character describes a night of partying in London, where Nemo currently lives. In the song, Nemo arrives in the British city from Paris – on the Eurostar train, which gives the track its title.
“Eurostar” is “a song, a feeling, a reflection on my life for the last five months,” Nemo said on Instagram. It is also a tribute to dance. “There’s always energy when you listen to live music or in a club together,” Nemo told SRF. “The nightlife is really exciting,” says Nemo, “it’s a melting pot where a wide variety of people come together, the world of music mixes and new sounds emerge.”
With “Eurostar” Nemo is trying to fill the big shoes of “The Code”. The song that won the ESC landed at number 1 in the charts in Switzerland and has been viewed more than 75 million times on the streaming platform Spotify. (watson.ch, dab)
