DJ Darude and singer Sebastian Rejman will sing the song ‘Look Away’ for Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019. The duo was internally selected by the Finnish national public broadcaster YLE to perform three songs in a special final of UMK, in which ‘Look Away’ was crowned the winning song.
Darude released the songs ‘Release Me’, ‘Superman’ and ‘Look Away’ in the last couple of weeks. However, at the final of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2019 we finally got to see the live performances of these songs. A jury and a televote decided that ‘Look Away’ was the best entry for Finland in Tel Aviv. It was the only song out of the three that was also co-composed by Sebastian Rejman.
