Our next signing for the London Eurovision Party 2016 is Iceland’s returning Eurovision contestant Greta Salóme!
After taking part at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 as part of a duo with Jónsi, finishing 20th place in the Final, Greta earned the right to represent Iceland again, this time on her own, with “Hear Them Calling”.
Greta released her first album, titled In the Silence, on 16 November 2012, which contained both the original Icelandic version and the English version that went to Eurovision of “Never Forget”
“Raddirnar” qualified Greta to the final of Söngvakeppnin 2016 and also secured a #3 hit on the Icelandic chart. However, in the final, Greta opted to switch her language to English and “Hear Them Calling” went on to win the televote and the ticket to Stockholm as well as becoming #1 on the Icelandic chart.
