Within the Azeri delegation, they will have Eurovision 2011 winner Eldar Gasimov, who is joining the team as the music producer.

In the lead-up to Eurovision 2023, TuralTuranX performed at two Eurovision pre-parties in Amsterdam and London.

What do we think of “Tell Me More”

The team at That Eurovision Site has been doing their reviews for this year’s contest. Euan and Stuart gave their thoughts on “Tell Me More”, which you can see here.

Who are TuralTuran X

TuralTuran X started their music journey at a young age, and was influenced by music by their father, where they ended up starting a band called ‘The Red Jungle’. They both went on to have musical education, where they performed at school events. During the pandemic they went on to perform in the suares and parks of Baku.

TuralTuranX’s Eurovision 2023 entry “Tell Me More” was co-written by themselves, alongside their friends Nihad Aliyev and Tunar Taghiyev.

Azerbaijan’s Eurovision Journey

Azerbaijan is a powerhouse in Eurovision, first debuting in 2008 with the song “Day After Day” by Elnur & Samir, finishing 8th. The country has since gone on to achieve five top-5 performances, including one win in 2011. Azerbaijan has a near perfect qualification record, only failing to make the final in 2018, and is known for its impressive on-stage performances. In 2022, they were represented by Nadir Rustamli, who received 106 points and finished 16th with his song “Fade to Black”.
