UK chooses Embers as Eurovision entry
James Newman will perform
Eurovision Song Contest 2021.
Newman was due to represent the UK last year before the pandemic caused the show’s cancellation.
This song was co-written by Newman, Conor Blake, Danny Shah, Tom Hollings, Samuel Brennan.
James Newman says: “I wanted to write an upbeat and positive song that people could have a party to, it’s about the spark between people who love each other. Just because you don’t see the people you care about all the time, doesn’t mean that spark isn’t there.”
James Newman is a hugely successful Brit Award-winning and Grammy-nominated songwriter. James won a Brit for British Single Of The Year for Waiting All Night, performed by Rudimental and Ella Eyre. He has also written certified platinum hit singles Lay It All On Me, performed by Rudimental ft Ed Sheeran; Blame, performed by Calvin Harris ft.
