Anjeza Shahini, who represented Albania very successfully in their first ever participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, returns to the race again this year with Pasqyrë e vetvetes. The young artist stated that she would love to represent her country once more in Oslo if her song manages to win this year's Festivali I Kenges.

In a recent interview with the Albanian newspaper Shekulli.com.al talked about her busy life, about her studies at the European University in Tirana and about her comeback in FiK 48. " The song Pasqyrë e vetvetes (engl. mirror of yourself) I will sing in Festivali I Këngës 48 is written by Sokol Marsi. This year I have a song that suits my voice perfectly. It's a song that makes me feel very comfortable on stage."

"I am not curious anymore about Eurovision because I have already been there and I had a great time, but if my song deserves again the first place in FiK, I would love to represent Albania one more time at the Eurovision Song Contest." Anjeza says.

Anjeza Shahini represented Albania in their debut participation in 2004 not only managing to place fourth in the semi final but also achieving a respectable 7th place in the final, Albania's best placing so far with The image of you.

One more Albanian Eurostar is also competing again this year in Festivali I Kenges. Kejsi Tola represented Albania last year and she returns yet again with Ndonjëherë (Sometimes) written by singer and songwriter Voltan Prodani and the lyrics are by the famous artist Timo Flloko. According to the composer, the song is a classic love ballad with some strong dramatic notes.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
