Senhit has released her version of Congratulations by Cliff Richard (1968 ESC United Kingdom). It is definitely different and maybe a little ‘eccentric’ but I guess that is the sort of spin she wanted to put on the song!

Regarding the music video for Congratulations, Senhit advised “This is the vision of what would happen if Federico Fellini and David Bowie would join my birthday party”.

Special thanks to the Electric Light artist Marco Lodola for his astonishing masterpieces Jimi, John, Ziggy and Freddie.

Senhit was selected to represent San Marino at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest with Freaky but due to the coronavirus mayhem, the contest was cancelled. She will, however, get another chance to sing for San Marino in the 2021 edition of Eurovision. Senhit did represent San Marino at the 2011 Eurovision with Stand By.
