I’m glad that musicians appreciate “Supernova”. There are more songs than last year, which shows that the desire to bring Latvia’s name to the world, the Eurovision audience in the millions, and the achievements so far have obviously encouraged many to apply. In addition, the variety of genres is very wide – from country music to energetic rock compositions. Viewers will have the opportunity to experience exciting shows. Thank you to everyone for their hard work!
