Song that listening to “Spotify”the author of the music and words is the performer of the song himself, and the producer is Rolands Priverts-Beimo.
Javelin thrower Suntažs, who also announced himself as a singer in 2019, considers the song “Finally Happy” to be the most special collaboration of the two so far.
“The song with an atmospheric, melancholic, but “pop” sound tells about the feelings that arose after getting out of emotions filled with pain and reaching a state where a person is ready for new experiences and love. The positive message also has dark and fragile undertones, because the experience of the past often becomes a burden when taking on new challenges,” says Saule.
As already announced, the Sun will not be able to participate in this year’s “Supernova”. Such a decision was made because the musical work “Finally Happy” submitted by the musician, in violation of the application regulations, has been played publicly before September 1, 2022.
Representatives of Latvian Television (LTV) state that when submitting a song to the competition, the musician Saule (real name Krišjānis Suntažs), like the other applicants, confirmed that he was informed and agreed to the conditions contained in the application regulations, but the LTV project team, which evaluated the suitability of the musical works , learned only after the semi-finalists were announced that the song “Finally Happy” was already played publicly on December 19, 2021.
In the “Supernova” song contest on February 4, 14 participants will compete live to enter the final. The winner of the contest, who will be determined by the jury and the audience in the final vote on February 11, will get the opportunity to represent Latvia at the international Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, Great Britain, in May.
Both in the semi-finals and the final, the role of the audience and the jury will be equally important – the best will be determined by the overall evaluation of the audience’s calls and SMS votes and the jury’s vote.
The group “24th Avenue” with the song “You Said”, Adriana Miglāne with the song “Like I Wanna”, Alice Haijima with the song “Tricky”, Artūrs Hatti with the song “Love Vibes”, singer “AVÉI” with the song “Let Me Go”, the group “Inspo” with the song “Sway”, Justus with the song “Stranger”, Katrine Miller with the song “Beaten Down”, Louise with the song “You To Hold Me”, Markus Riva with the song “Forever”, Patricia with the song “Hush”, the singer Raum with the song “Fake Love”, the group “Sudden Lights” with the song “Aija” and Toms Kalderauskis with the song “When It All Falls”.
Entry of songs and performers into the semi-finals of the “Supernova” competition was determined by a jury selected by LTV, which includes representatives of the Latvian music industry, events and television, as well as foreign professionals. Due to security reasons, again this year LTV will reveal the names of the jury representatives only after the international Eurovision Song Contest in May.
