New music this week: 19 songs from Little Big, Francesco Gabbani, The Mamas and more
Although we’re officially into the Eurovision 2022 season, it will still be some time before we hear any national final and Eurovision songs. Thankfully, the music will always continue and a number of past Eurovision artists are still producing new songs for us to enjoy.
Contrary to the commonly perpetuated myth about the song contest killing careers, we’re always thrilled to report that singers and performers associated with both Eurovision itself and the various national selections are thriving.
Here is our latest weekly roundup with a selection of just some of the songs and music videos released recently by Eurovision stars.
New music from Eurovision artists: 2021 | Week 35
Francesco Gabbani – “La Rete”
“People tell me I’m a fish out of water, I don’t fit” – Raylee may have compared herself to an aquatic animal, but Francesco Gabbani would rather we liken ourselves to the fisherperson that has control over our own destiny. As always, the Eurovision 2017 singer has some well-crafted lyrics to go along with his latest single. “La Rete” (“The Net”) sees Gabbani encouraging listeners not to go with the flow and get trapped in an endless cycle like a fish, but rather to take charge and control the net of life ourselves: “Every day in the net / we confess […] we fall in love […] and we get pissed […] who is the fisherman? / you are the fisherman”. The accompanying music video was filmed in the Dolomites. At the start, the Italian signer finds himself stuck in a net on the top of a mountain. Gabbani then makes the long journey all the way down to his rightful home in the sea.
