Hooverphonic, the candidate group for Belgium at Eurovision 2020 - Screen capture Universal Music Belgium / Eurovision

It is not the first time that a known group takes part in the Eurovision competition, but nevertheless, Hooverphonic, pop group originating from Belgium, already has 25 years of existence, a dozen albums, a success and an international career , as well as, and this is subtlety, several singers at its head.

Luka Cruysberghs is the latest since 2018 and her victory in the Flemish version of The Voice . The candidate group from Belgium unveiled on Monday their song for Eurovision, Release Me , a title with very "james-bondian" accents as underlined by our specialist Fabien Randanne.

Impossible not to compare this song with that of the 2018 candidate, Sennek, A Matter of Time , with already the founder of Hooverphonic, Alex Callier, at the helm. Unfortunately, she had not passed the semi-final, like Eliot last year.

Hooverphonic will take part in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2020 on May 12 and will try to win one of the ten tickets for the final on May 16. This year, the competition will be held in Rotterdam (Netherlands).
