Maarja-Liis Ilus, who represented Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996 and 1997, and Lauris Reiniks, one of the members of F.L.Y., who performed the Latvian entry in 2003, have recorded a duet together. Last weekend a video clip for the song And you came was shot. The song will be released in Latvia and Estonia in September.

The ballad And you came has already been included in Lauris Reiniks' latest album Debesskrapju spits. Lauris and Maarja got the idea of recording a duet back in 2004 when they met at the after party of the musical Sound of Music in Riga, in which Lauris played the role of Rolf.

The story of the video clip for And you came is situated in a music club in the thirties. Lauris and Maarja play a singing couple whose relationship has come to a crisis. The other characters in the video clip are also trying to solve their personal life issues. The song and the video clip will be presented in Latvia and Estonia at the beginning of September.

Lauris Reiniks and Maarja both represented their country at the Eurovision Song Contest and last year in Istanbul, Lauris and Maarja were the spokespersons, announcing the televoting results from Latvia and Estonia.
