¡Vamos España! 🇪🇸 16 songs are ready to take the stage in Benidorm, and many have familiar names involved 👀
It's time for my #BenidormFest2024 songwriter deep dive! 🕸️📊🧵
#Eurovision #BenidormFest #Eurovision #ElFestivalQueQuieres Image
Angy Fernández - Sé quién soy
Angy is ready to make her Benidorm debut with the help of two major Swedish songwriters. Two-time Eurovision winner Thomas G:son joins forces with Dotter-partner and Melfest rising star Dino Medanhodzic for their second collab this NF season Image
Dellacruz - Beso en la mañana
Dellacruz makes his debut as a soloist on the Benidorm stage. He previously composed Famous' "La Lola". His song is cowritten by Carlos Almazán, who was also behind Meler's "Mejores" from Benidorm 2022 Image
Jorge González - Caliente
Spanish NF veteran Jorge González is back, having previously attempted to win in '09 and '14. His song is cowritten by David Parejo of "Loviu" and "Postureo" fame, as well as Adrián Ghiardo, another "La Lola" writer Image
Mantra - Me vas a ver
While Mantra is debuting as a band, member Carlos Marco is no stranger to NF's. As part of Auryn he got close to representing Spain in 2011, and he wrote song for both previous Benidorm fests. He is joined by Melfest/DMGP songwriter Fredrik Sonefors Image
María Peláe - Remitente
Having written two fan favourites from the OT-era ("Arde" and "Nadie se salva"), María is attempting as a performer for her first time on an ESC stage. Her song is cowritten by her "Arde" cowriter, Alba Reig Image
Marlena - Amor de verano
The succesful songwriter-duo of Joan Valls Paniza and Rubén Pérez is back after their smash hit, Vicco's "Nochentera" last year. That year they also wrote Rakky Riper's "Tracción" Image
Miss Caffeina - Bla bla bla
Alberto Jiménez make his return to the Eurovision world (almost). He wrote "Señales", which was set to be Agoney's solo song for the OT Eurovision gala in 2018. However, Agoney was knocked out before the show, and the song was thus never performed Image
Nebulossa - Zorra
Perhaps the most curious connection of this Benidorm Fest, Nebulossa returns to the ESC spotlight after their attempt in Una Voce per San Marino last year. However, from what I can tell, there have been major changes to the lineup, with only María Bas remaining Image
That's all! From what I can tell, the remaining have no connections in my database. I'll leave you with this plot of all the connection between Spanish NF songs since 2007. Make sure to give me a follow if want to see more deep dives covering the rest of the NF's this season 🕸️📊 Image

VIDBIR 2025 SONGWRITER DEEP DIVE 🇺🇦🕸️📊
As always, #Vidbir is a highlight of the Eurovision season. This year, five out of the ten entries have connection to other entries in the Eurovision world. Let's take a closer look at all the connections (a thread 🧵) Image
A quick note:
As I source my database from different sources, different translitterations have to be harmonized for me to make these connections. Due to that some connections may have been missed. Please let me know if non-Ukrainian transliterations have been used in the plots!
Molodi - My Sea
The Mariupol group is making their Vidbir debut with the help of one of last year's winning songwriters, Anton Chilibi. On top of his "Teresa & Maria" involvement, Anton also wrote Carpetman's "Endless Fight" Image
