In a recent episode of the Rolling Stone Uncut podcast, she told us of doing Eurovision: “I would call it perfect timing. I had sort of been circled with Eurovision for a few years, where people would sort of come and say, ‘Would you do it?’ I was either on a show, a tour or a project… I’m like, ‘I’m always open-hearted, ‘I’m always open… if timing aligns then let’s talk about it.
“When I got back to Australia [last] November, and the lovely team came into my office and talked about it, I said I’m actually going into a lockdown of making my new album… I said yes, and I said ‘I’m gonna go into the studio and I’ll make sure we have the song that I feel represents me in this moment.'”
She also spoke with us about becoming an independent artist after leaving Sony Music Australia a few years back following a 20-plus-year partnership, and teased what’s to come with her new album. Check it out below.
