RIYADH: Saudi Arabia will host the second edition of the new song contest Intervision, whose inaugural version was concluded early Sunday in Moscow, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
This was also announced by organizers of Intervision, Russia's answer to the Eurovision song contest.
Artists from more than 20 countries — including Saudi Arabia — competed in the inaugural edition in the Russian capital, which was won by Vietnamese singer Duc Phuc.
According to SPA, the Kingdom's delegation organized by the Saudi Music Commission featured Saudi singer and songwriter Zeina Emad, who performed a specially commissioned piece titled “Just a Concern.”
“I wanted to give voice to that feeling when someone finally says, ‘I am concerned about you,’ even if everyone else isn’t. This is one of the most personal songs I have ever performed,” Zena Emad said in a comment published by the Intervision online site www.intervision.world.
