Iceland: Daði Freyr releases his new single “Where We Wanna Be”
Friday, 22 May 2020

  • The Icelandic Eurovision 2020 hopeful and one of the favorites to win the competition, if it had taken  place, Daði Freyr, has dropped his new single title "Where we wanna be".

    Just a little more than two months ago , Daði Freyr, won the Icelandic national final with the song  “Think About Things”   and earned the right to represent the country in Rotterdam. The covid-19 outbreak came up, the contest was cancelled but the Icelandic entry went viral across the continent topping several polls and voting of the alternative Eurovision shows that followed. 

    Now Daði Freyr treats his fans with a new single "Where we wanna be" . A song that features a retro vibe combined with a catchy sound.  It's certainly close to the 80's sound with a desco beat that we saw in the Eurovision 2020 entry too. 

    The lyrics of the song are obviously inspired by the current siuation with most of the people quarantined home cause of the cornavirus pandemic. Further more the official music video of the song is literally a home made video, that unfolds in Daði's living room, a clear reference also to the restricted home people.
