Luna’s Eurovision Journey So Far…
Luna was internally selected to represent Poland with her song “The Tower” in February this year. Late last month it was revealed the Luna would perform sixth in the first half of the first Eurovision semi-final on May 7th.
Ahead of Eurovision 2024 taking place, Luna will perform at all the scheduled pre-parties due to take place before the contest. Luna has also already performed at Pre-Party ES24 in Madrid, as well as Sweden’s Melfest WKND towards the end of national final season.
What do we think of “The Tower”
The team at That Eurovision Site have reacted to Poland’s entry for Malmö. Tim gave his thoughts on “The Tower”, which you can check out below, you can also check out our written review here:
Who is Luna?
Luna, is the stage name for Aleksandra Katarzyna Wielgomas, she first started releasing music in 2018 under the stage name Ola Wielgomas. In 2018 Aleksandra released her first single “Na wzgórzach niepokoju”. The idea for the stage name Luna first came about in 2020 when she released the single also entitled “Luna”. Aleksandra says it came about as she feels a connection with space and nighttime.
Since 2021 Luna has released many singles alongside an EP entitled “Caught in the Night”. Later in 2022 Lunar went on to release her first studio album entitled “Nocne zmory”. Prior to releasing “The Tower”, Luna’s most well known single was her song “Lekko” which has already received over 100 thousand views on YouTube.
Luna will be participating at Eurovision 2024 with “The Tower” which was written by Luna herself, as well as writers Paul Dixon and Max Cooke, Paul also produced the track.
Poland’s Eurovision Journey
In 1994, Poland made their debut at the Eurovision Song Contest, when Edyta Górniak represented them with the song “To nie ja!”, and placed 2nd, which is Poland’s best result at the contest to date. Since then, Poland has participated 25 times, qualifying for the Grand Final 16 times.
Poland’s recent Eurovision participation saw them being represented by Blanka, who competed with “Solo”. Performing during the second semi-final, Poland qualified for the final. At the close of voting at the Grand Final, she managed to place 19th with 93 points. Of these, 12 came from the jury, whilst 81 came from the televote.
