Norwegian broadcaster NRK have been a bit cloak-and-dagger this year when it comes to revealing the artists and songs who will compete in the Melodi Grand Prix. In comparison to previous years anyway. This year they’re only announcing the competitors on the Wednesday before each Saturday heat. That’s today though, so hooray!
The first heat will take place this Saturday (the first of three heats, with each heat containing seven songs). And so this evening NRK revealed the seven artists and songs that will make up Saturday night’s contest.
You can listen to previews of each of the songs right here. (via Spotify, iTunes, or WiMP)
