About Noa Kirel and the Selection Process
As you all know, last summer the 21-year-old pop singer Noa Kirel was internally selected to represent Israel at Eurovision 2023.
Noa was selected among the top-tier Israeli musicians.
A professional committee, including 9 members, ranked her as the leading candidate.
After debating between the 3 songs, Noa Kirel, her team, and the national broadcaster came to the conclusion: Noa Kirel will perform the song “Unicorn“!
The song talks about women’s empowerment. One of the other songs that was considered talks about love.
The song “Unicorn” is up-tempo, with the majority of lyrics in English. However, you are able to hear some words in Hebrew as well.
The song features some oriental elements.
Noa commented:
“I am very excited. The selection is the first significant step that marks Eurovision in May. We wrote a song that moves me personally every time I sing or hear it, and I can’t wait for you to hear it”
What do you think about the shiny “Unicorn” that will take Israel to Liverpool this year?
Will this be another victory for Israel?
