“Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room
Out of the embers
There’s a fire burning for you”
This up-tempo song will be United Kingdom’s entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 held at Rotterdam between 18 May to 22 May.
Why Embers?
James revealed in a recent interview that his team had 15 songs to select from to represent the UK in Rotterdam, with Embers being one of them. Embers was selected because James felt connected to the song.
Staging for Rotterdam
James has been hard at work to prepare for his performance in Rotterdam. He has recorded his back-up performance for Embers in a television studio a few weeks ago and is currently improving his dance routine with a choreographer for the big day!
For the live performance and staging, look out for James in a big jacket and an overall fun atmosphere similar to that of the video clip!
