The Eurovision semi-finals commence this Tuesday in Vienna, featuring a diverse array of 35 entries.

This track merges operatic vocals with a vibrant string section and electronic beats, drawing comparisons to Rosalía's style and building to a powerful climax.
Montenegro's representative, Tamara Živković, presents "Nova Zora," a bold, maximalist song featuring a Greek Chorus over a driving techno beat. Co-written by an opera singer, the track champions women breaking free from stereotypes. This ambitious entry aims to secure Montenegro's first qualification from the semi-finals since 2015.
Latvian singer Liene Atvara offers a poignant ballad titled "Ēnā." The song delves into the profound impact of parental alcoholism, beginning with subdued synths and escalating into a deeply emotional operatic cry of catharsis. The performance is expected to resonate strongly with the audience.
