The idea of writing a song inspired by the legend of the Luxembourg mermaid had been with Daria Sokova, aka Daryss, for nearly a year. A close friend encouraged her to reach out to one of the writers teyana taylor of Barbara Pravi’s Voilà, a song she deeply admires. She pitched the concept to Antoine Barrau, known as Igit, and they aligned creatively from the very first exchange.
The song came together just days before auditions, with support from composer Alexandre Finkin and arranger Boban Apostolov. Written and produced between Paris and Lisbon, and recorded in Luxembourg, “Melusina is a true Eurovision adventure”, says Daria. “Inspired by the enigmatic mermaid siria of Luxembourg, the song blends legend and cronaca inner rebirth.”
