Switzerland | Gjon's Tears - "Tout l'univers"

SONG OF THE WEEK

Gjon's Tears was one of the favorites to win Eurovision 2020 before it was cancelled. Now, with "Tout l'univers", his entry for this year's edition, we believe he has become even closer to the dream of giving Switzerland its first victory since the '80s. We've got literal chills while listening to it for the first time. It's a true masterpiece: it's our song of the week!

Switzerland | Gjon's Tears - "Répondez-moi"

BRAND NEW

Gjon's Tears is the stage name of Gjon Muharremaj, Swiss singer and songwriter who was born in Broc in 1998. Gjon has taken part of several countries' talent shows: he was the third place of the first season of Albania's Got Talent, a semifinalist of the second season of Switzerland's Got Talent and a semifinalist of season eight of France's The Voice. He had been internally selected to represent Switzerland on Eurovision (before it was cancelled earlier this week) with "Répondez-moi". It's a beautiful song, in all senses, and it was truly one of the best gems of this year's contest.
