EESTI LAUL 2025 SONGWRITER DEEP DIVE 🇪🇪📊🕸️
We have our first 15 songs for what's shaping up to be a highlight of the 2025 season! All songs have connections to previous entries, so even though we have to wait a month, we can already get a feel for the songs now! (A thread 🧵)
An-Marlen - "Külm"
2022 fan favourite An-Marlen is back! As with "Lõpuks muutub", An-Marlen has writing credits on "Külm" too
Andrei Zevakin feat. Karita - "Ma ei tea sind"
No stranger to Eesti Laul, Andrei has written and performed many entries already. He is joined by the team behind Ariadne's robbed 2022 fan-favourite "Shouldn't Be Friends", including Ariadne herself
Anna Sahlene - "Love Me Low"
A veteran of Melfest, Eesti Laul and Squid Game, this experienced singer is back again. Helping her is Swedish star writers Bobby Ljunggren and David Lindgren Zacharias, as well as legendary backing singers "Suured tüdrukud"
Ant - "Tomorrow Never Comes"
Superstar winner Ant Nurhan teams up with Kim Wennerström, who was behind last years winning entry, as well as Merili "M els" Käsper, who fans may remember from her song "So Good (at What You Do)"
Elysa - "The Last to Know"
No stranger to Eesti Laul at this point, Elisa is back with a Swedish-Danish team, with Julie "Kill J" Aagard having written bangers like "When I'm Gone", "We Will Rave" and "Run to the Hills" previously
Felin - "Solo Anthem"
Fans may recognize Elin from old junior and adult Finnish selections. She is joined by Paul Rey ("Talking in My Sleep"/"I Can't Get Enough") and Gevin Niglas ("Meeletu"/"Tunnete keel")
Frants Tikerpuu - "Trouble"
Fans will remember Frants for his duet with Triin Niitoja in 2022. Will he do better as a soloist?
Gem98 - "Psycho"
Experienced team here, with Gevin Niglas being the only writer to have multiple entries this year. You will recognize Frederik Küüts as one half of Anett x Fredi and a member of Gram-of-Fun
Janek - "Frozen"
As with his 2023 effort, this song was also written by Janek and Norwegian eurostar Kjetil Mørland. Can they improve on their previous result?
Joelle - "Eyes Don't Lie"
A member of girl group "Little Mess", Joelle is going solo, but still with the help of veteran writer Timo Vendt ("Amazing"/"La forza")
Minimal Wind - "Armageddon"
They finally found the right email address! As with last time, their entry was written by the group itself. Can they make the top 3 once again?
Räpina Jack feat. Kaisa Ling - "Tule"
One half of Räpina Jack, Hain Hoppe, participated with Estonian-Australian group The Jingles back in 2016, finishing 10th in their semi. How will he fare this time?
Stereo Terror - "Prty Till the End of the World"
We previously saw Lauri in UMK 2012, being behind one of the songs that failed to advance from the wildcard round. Now his song will finally make a final
Tommy Cash - "Espresso Macchiato"
No doubt the biggest name of the year, this espresso may taste of Eurovision succes, as Johannes Naukkarinen was also a writer on Käärijä's "Cha Cha Cha". Is Tommy destined for Basel?
Tuuli Rand - "Rem"
Another very experienced name, Tuuli has many participations on her resumé as part of various projects. This time she's solo, helped by the team behind Cecilia's "FOMO", including Cecilia herself!
And that's all! Hope you enjoyed reading, and found this thread informative! If you did, make sure to give me a follow, as I will be making similar threads for all national finals this season, as well as more stat-based coverage of Eurovision 2025. Until then, take care!
