ZOË Shares New Version Of Eurovision Hit ‘Loin d’ici (far from here)’

Austrian singer and songwriter ZOË is back with a revamped version of her 2016 Eurovision song Loin d'ici (far from here), out now via GRS MUSIC / Global Rockstar GmbH. 

 

I am a fan of the original and this new version comes just in time for Eurovision 2022 in Turin, Italy. For this version the talented songstress teamed up with fellow Austria-based, Brazilian singer-songwriter Leonardo Davi, whose lush vocals provide new English verses to the song. ZOË's beautiful tone is nicely paired with Leonardo's warm, dulcet tone that breathes new life into the song, making it quite a memorable listening experience. 

 

I am very fond of the blend of French and English verses which appeal to a broader audience and give the song a rich contrast of emotions. I am also really enjoying how the strings of the original are paired with a fast, harder-hitting beat and soaring guitars that infuse it with a pop-rock feel packed with tons of energy perfect to get you in a good mood and ready to face the day in no time. Definitely a makeover well done that will get both Eurovision and pop fans happy to play it several times. Check it out below!
