Опубликовано 7 апреля 2021, 17:45

In our emotional English-language interview, Spain's Eurovision 2021 singer Blas Cantó discusses the powerful story behind his song "Voy a quedarme". He wrote it after the death of his father. "It was difficult," he says of balancing grief and a demanding schedule. "I needed to escape and this song gave me that escape." He recorded the music video shortly after the death of his grandmother. "The song gave me again that breath. It was so emotional for me, but when I finished the song...inside me I knew 'Voy a quedarme' was the song to sing for her, for me, for everybody on that stage." The former Auryn boy band member also discusses what it's like to represent Spain — which is home to Eurovision's most passionate fans — and sings the praises of his stage director Marvin Dietmann, who he says is both honest and direct, but also very kind. Blas says that winning isn't his primary goal, but rather having a beautiful and powerful moment where he feels connected to those he has loved and lost. Finally, he shares his love of Barbara Pravi and teases the French-language version of his song.
