Cyprus | Minus One - "Alter ego"

BRAND NEW

It's time to get to know one more entry of this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Cyprus has internally chosen band Minus One, from Nicosia, and their "Alter ego". The song is also signed by Thomas G:son – who composed, in the past years, entries for Denmark, Georgia, Norway, Spain and Sweden (including the hit "Euphoria"). It is a great rock track, which has the qualities to allow Cyprus to dream of going to the final for the second year in a row.
