France will play the (strong) emotion card at Eurovision 2024. Slimane presented this Wednesday, on “8 p.m.” on France 2, My lovethe song with which he will defend the French chances in the final of the competition on May 11 in Malmö, Sweden.
“I wrote it as a love letter that I send to all hearts that will listen to it. Love. Everywhere. Always. More than ever. Together,” wrote the 34-year-old author, composer and performer, sharing the song on his social networks.
“A part of sensitivity and emotion”
On the set of Anne-Sophie Lapix’s television news, Slimane clarified that it was one of the “most difficult to sing” songs he had ever composed for him.
The participation of the 34-year-old artist was made official in the morning on France Inter. “At Eurovision, there is an element of sensitivity and emotion that the viewer must feel,” declared Alexandra Redde-Amiel, the head of delegation, in front of a handful of media received at France Télévisions on Tuesday. Slimane manages to convey this both in the interpretation and in the writing. We think it could be something absolutely magnificent. »
