Three time Eurovision entrant, Sigga Beinteins, had the honour of singing the official song for the Reykjavik Pride. The song has been released in both English, called Surrender, and Icelandic, called Á þitt vald.
The song was written by two Swedish composers, Linda and Ylva Persson. These two composers, also known as OneVoice, are well known to Eurovision fans for composing songs for national finals around Europe in the past few years. Sigga has entered the Eurovision Song Contest three times for Iceland: in 1990 she came 4th as part of the duo Stjórnin with Eitt Lag Enn. She returned two years later, in 1992, as part of Heart 2 Heart, singing Nei Eða Já. She once again secured a top 10 position for Iceland, coming 7th. Her last appearance came in 1994, when she went solo and sang Nætur, coming 12th.
The Reykjavik Pride will take place 5-10 August this year. The program for this year’s Pride will be revealed in the first week of July, so if you’re planning to go there, you can keep an eye on the site here.
