As we start the year, we are getting closer to the full swing of the National Final season. However, before that, some artists are releasing new music ahead of their participation, including Eurovision Alum Robin Bengtsson, who released his new EP “Hometown”, ahead of his Melodifestivalen 2026 participation.
About “Hometown”
Described as the project where Robin ‘wholeheartedly step into the genre that has characterized his music in the past year’, the EP consists of five tracks, including his new single “Country Enough”, whicxh was written by Robin alongside Emelie Eriksson and produced by Herman Gardarfve.
Speaking about “Country Enough”, Robin comments:
Now I’m releasing “Country Enough”, a song that I really love and it felt natural to do it together with my recent country songs on an EP called “Hometown”, one of the songs on the EP but also the place where the dreams of standing on a stage began!
