James Newman unveils UK Eurovision entry, Embers

completemusicupdate.com:

James Newman gets a second attempt at representing the UK at Eurovision this year, having missed out due to the event’s cancellation in 2020.

And now he’s revealed his second Eurovision song, ‘Embers’. In sharp contrast to last year’s sad ballad ‘My Last Breath’, this time he’s heading out with a big pop bop.“I wanted to write an upbeat and positive song that people could have a party to”, says Newman. “It’s about the spark between people who love each other.

Just because you don’t see the people you care about all the time, doesn’t mean that spark isn’t there”.So that’s nice, isn’t it?

It’s a song for these times, about these times, with a generous helping of hope mixed in. Will it win? Well, it has a chance of not coming absolute bottom..
