İlkin Dövlətov, who represented Azerbaijan at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest alongside Fahree, has released his new EP .”Yaşa Ürəyim”.
‘Yaşa Ürəyim’
While the title track ‘Yaşa Ürəyim’ and several others on the EP are re-releases of songs covered in public over the last year, this marks the first time that any of them have made it to streaming services.
The two original numbers on the EP ‘Xoşum Gəlir’ and ‘Qışda Gələrdim’ stand in start contrast to his Eurovision entry, and much more aligned with the more jazzy numbers that gained him fame during his time on The Voice.
