A songwriter from Malta and a composer from Iceland are teaming up in the hope of making a song that will take first prize at next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
Gerard James Borg from Malta is collaborating with composer Hallgrimur Oskarsson to create a song called ‘I Wanna Manicure.’ The song has already been selected in the Icelandic Eurovision semi-finals.
The song will be performed on RUV (Icelandic national television) later this month and will be performed by the Hara Sisters. The sisters came second in the Icelandic Pop Idol competition.
In 2003, Oskarsson’s song ‘Open Your Heart’ represented Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest. Borg has participated in three Maltese Eurovision Song Contests, co-writing several songs and working with several musical groups. Oskarsson and Borg have collaborated on several projects in the past.
According to both Borg and Oskarsson, the new song, ‘I Wanna Manicure’ came from some creative and almost crazy ideas.
