It wouldn’t be Eurosong without some involvement from Louis Walsh and this year his new boyband, Next In Line, are part of the Eurosong line up. This quintet was formed in 2022 through an audition process, with Louis hoping they will be the next One Direction. The band consists of Conor O’Farrell, Nueng Kelly, Harry O’Connell, Conor Davis, and Joshua Regala. While Louis has had success with several acts including Boyzone & Westlife, he hopes that Next In Line will have a sound that more resembles Harry Styles or The 1975.

The band made their Irish TV debut performance on The Late Late Show, and their international debut performance at the world final of Junk Kouture, the youth eco-fashion competition, in Abu Dhabi in 2022.

The song they hope will win Eurosong 2024 and take them to Malmö in May to represent Ireland at Eurovision is called Love Like Us. The song is a slick upbeat pop song, typical of something LouisWalsh would choose for the band. The song is catchy and could become an earworm among listeners and subsequently garner a lot of attention and possible votes.

Hoping to make it an eighth win for Ireland, Bambie Thug is the fifth of six artists who will compete in the Eurosong national final which will take place on The Late Late Show on Friday 26th January.

Bambie Thug

Bambie Thug is an exciting artist that will make you sit up and listen. Originally from Cork but based in London this singer-songwriter puts everything into their music, which they describe as “ouija-pop”, a mix of hyperpop, rock and metal. While their styling emanates a mystical and witchery vibe, their lyrics deal with a variety of topics including personal matters such as dysmorphia, sexuality and mental health.

They have released several singles and two EP’s, High Romancy in 2021 and Cathexis in 2023. Bambie Thug’s music acts as a form of therapy, and is a reminder to break free from social constraints and to practise self-love by feeding your mind and your soul.

Their song for Eurosong is called “Doomsday Blue”. The song gives the listener an idea of the type of artist Bambie Thug is. The song showcases their love of spells and using occult language through the speaking in tongues under the beat of the song. Like Bambie Thug the song’s music and lyrics give an air of both calm and chaos.

Hoping to make it an eighth win for Ireland, Isabella Kearney is the fourth of six artists who will compete in the Eurosong national final which will take place on The Late Late Show on Friday 26th January.

Isabella Kearney grew up in Sydney, Australia to Irish parents, and for as long as she can remember music has been her life. She has been performing since she was 16 and in 2015, she completed a Degree in Music and Performance in Australia. As a singer she has performed at festivals in Australia and she also performs across the world as part of the onboard entertainment on P&O cruise lines. She has also worked as a session singer on The Voice Australia.

In 2018 she signed to Sony/ATV Music Publishing and has written songs for such Eurovision alumni as Jessica Mauboy and Guy Sebastian as well as many other artists. In 2020 she co-wrote the song Conditions which made the final of the NBC US TV show Songland.

The song Isabella is bringing to Eurosong is called Let Me Be The Fire. It’s a catchy pop song which wouldn’t look out of place on the Swedish national competition, Melodifestivalen. It has that sound that makes it feel like it could have been created and produced in Sweden, something which will appeal to many Eurovision fans.

Irish rapper JyellowL, real name Jean-Luc Uddoh, was born in Nigeria and moved to Dublin when he was 14 before moving to Co. Kildare. He attended University College Dublin where he studied for a Politics Degree. He has performed on the festival circuit and in 2018 he released the EP Me n Me Too and his debut album 2020 DI Vision in 2020. The album was nominated for the Choice Music Prize that year.

His music has also featured on the computer game FIFA 20 as well as on TV shows such as Normal People and he appeared on BBC Three’s Rap Trip. JyellowL is also an advocate for social justice and for an end to racism.

He is cognisant of the lack of representation in the Irish rap and hip hop scene and this drove him to set up his own label, JyellowL Records Ltd., to help others like him develop in the Irish music industry.

The song he is bringing to Eurosong is called Judas and features the additional beautiful vocals of Tosin Bankole. Through the lyrics JyellowL raps about issues and relationships he has experienced in his own life. The song is well produced and composed and JyellowL clearly knows the type of artist he wants to be and the Ireland he wants to represent.

Hoping to make it an eighth win for Ireland, Ailsha is the second of six artists who will compete in the Eurosong national final which will take place on The Late Late Show on Friday 26th January.

Ailsha

Ailsha has been described by Iggy Magazine as “a talented artist who will brighten up your day. Her music is as authentic and fun as she is.” The Wicklow based make-up artist turned video games composer and singer is making a name for herself and is a regular feature on the Dublin rock scene.

Music is in Ailsha’s DNA, her father is composer Shaun Davey, her mother Rita Connolly is a singer and her older sister is singer Cathy Davey. So it is no surprise that Ailsha has found her voice in the music industry, and what a voice it is.

Originally it was pop music Ailsha was making but while performing all over Ireland she realised she wanted to create a heavier punk/rock sound. The Covid 19 lockdowns gave her the time to focus on her edgier sound and she has since released several singles which have gained airtime on BBC Radio 1 and on Spotify editorial playlists.

The self-confessed misfit will perform her song Go Tobann (Suddenly) on the Eurosong show. Lyrically the song consists of English and Irish lyrics including the popular Irish phrase most people learn at school, “an bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas?” which means, Can I please go to the toilet?

The music to the song in a high octane mash up of drums, flutes and strings. Ailsha’s love of composing animated music for video games is very evident in Go Tobann and could appeal to a large international audience.

Erica has fronted various campaigns against domestic abuse and racism, the latter is something she has openly discussed as she and her family have experienced racism. In 2022 Erica participated in Irish version of Dancing with the Stars and made it to the final.

Her song for Eurosong is Love Me Like I Do. The song is an up-tempo pop song and is slightly different to the usual R&B sound we are used to hearing from Erica. The song talks about self-love and how no one can love you better than you can love yourself. Erica also nods to her Irish upbringing with the inclusion of a couple of Irish words in the bridge of the song.
