Israel has unveiled its entry to the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. Called “FekerLibi” – Amharic for “My Beloved” – the song will be performed by 19-year-old singer Eden Alene.
In an apparent attempt to engage as many Eurovision viewers as possible, most of the song’s lyrics are in English, with a few notable lines in Hebrew, Arabic and Amharic.
The song was written and composed by Doron Medalie, the man behind Eurovision 2018 winner “Toy,” together with celebrated musician Idan Raichel.
Alene, a Jerusalemite whose parents made aliyah to Israel from Ethiopia, was chosen to represent Israel in the contest following her win on the reality show “The Next Star to the Eurovision.”
