Singer Jeangu Macrooy’s Dutch Eurovision Song Contest entry will be presented on Wednesday, March 4, the organizing broadcaster AVROTROS reports on Twitter.
The Dutch entry can be heard for the first time on De Wereld Draait Door. A day later, on March 5, the singer sings the song live in the talk show. The same strategy was used last year when Duncan Laurence’s Eurovision song was presented.
The name of Macrooy’s song has not yet been announced. Cornald Maas, who is part of the selection committee for the Eurovision Song Contest, describes the song on Twitter as ‘distinctive and distinctive’.
On January 10, AVROTROS announced that Macrooy will represent the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest. The Surinam-born singer has already released two albums, performed at various festivals in the Netherlands and played the role of Judas in 2018’s The Passion.
After Duncan Laurence’s victory with his song Arcade, the Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Rotterdam on May 12, 14 and 16.
