Swedish singer ANNA BERGENDAHL has a new song out. It is called HOME. We wonder if she drew inspiration from the 2019 Israeli Eurovision song which is also called Home?
The Swedish composers Ylva and Linda Persson have composed a song for Linda Killian to compete at the 2019 AfriMusic Song Contest in the selection for South Africa.. The song is entitled I Will Never Fight Again.
Linda Killian is a successful singer from South Africa who has been nominated for the Kyknet Ghoema awards as best Rock album for 2018. Linda wanted to try a new challenge and work with international composer Ylva and Linda, who have written many Eurovision national selection songs.
Rian Swanepoel recorded the vocals in South Africa and Linda Killian has worked with him for nine years.
