This year's Albanian representative, Aurela Gace, will travel today to Los Angeles to record the new version of her song Kënga ime. Aurela has decided to put her other music projects on hold and in the coming months she will only be focused on the Eurovision Song Contest.

esctoday.com had the opportunity to have a short talk this morning with Aurela Gaçe just before she flies to Los Angeles.

How is the preparation of the Eurovision entry going?
We have done a lot and everything is going fine so far. In few hours me and my team will fly to Los Angeles to work on the final version of Kënga ime. We will also record in Los Angeles at a renowned studio the new version of the song which will be used in Eurovision.

We saw a trailer of your new video a few days ago on YouTube.Can you tell us more about this?
That’s the trailer of my new song CaSh which was supposed to be released in January. I’m collaborating this time with the famous Albanian hip hop singer MC Kresha. CaSh will be the first single from my upcoming album but I have decided to publish this song, the video and as well as the new album after Eurovision since I only will be focused on Kënga ime and Eurovision until May, stated Aurela.
