BBC World Service - Music Life, Eurovision 2022 with Cornelia Jakobs, MARO, Alexandra Rotan (KEiiNO), SuRie and Dami Im

Eurovision stars past and present discuss how they created hit songs for the show

2022 hopefuls Cornelia Jakobs and MARO meet three former contestants - SuRie, Dami Im and KEiiNO's Alexandra Rotan - to discuss how to create a Eurovision classic.

Two of this year's Eurovision hopefuls, Cornelia Jakobs and MARO, meet three former contestants - SuRie, Dami Im and KEiiNO's Alexandra Rotan - to discuss how writing music in rooms with strangers is like speed dating, the expectation that fans have of their sound, why there’s no formula to win the competition, and the strength in simplicity.

Susanna Marie Cork, better known as SuRie, was the 2018 UK entry for the competition. Dance-pop singer-songwriter Alexandra Rotan is a member of the super group KEiiNO, who represented Norway in 2019. Stockholm-based singer-songwriter Cornelia Jakobs is representing Sweden in this year’s Eurovision, taking place in Turin, Italy, while MARO is representing Portugal. Korean-Australian pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dami Im came second in the 2016 competition.
