Eurovision 2024 might seem like a long way off, but we think Graham Norton might have already scouted the UK’s entry.
As well as being a Virgin Radio UK presenter, Graham has been commentating on the Eurovision Song Contest for the BBC since 2009. So, it’s fair to say he knows a thing or two about the competition.
Now, it looks like Graham thinks Tom Walker should be the one to represent the UK in 2024.
The singer has just released a new song called Freaking Out, which will feature on his upcoming album, I Am. Taking to Instagram last week to talk about the new music, Tom wrote: “So many of you have been writing about relating to this one, it’s tough to open up but it’s always worth it…we all freak out and wobble every now and then but we can get through anything.”
After playing it on The Graham Norton Show with Waitrose, Graham spoke about how much he liked the song.
He said: “I must admit, I really like that Tom Walker song. Yeah, it’s new from him and if he entered Eurovision with that, it would do well. I mean that as a compliment. Good on you, Tom!”
That is quite the compliment coming from Graham!
This comes after Tom released his other single from the upcoming album, Burn. He also announced that I Am will be released in May 2024 (which is very close to Eurovision), and it will be the follow-up to his first record, What a Time to Be Alive, released in 2019.
According to a statement about the new album, I Am will see Tom “writing about his own personal struggles and anxieties, creative challenges, sadness and moments of despair.”
It also describes Freaking Out as “a personal cry for help which tackles social anxiety and addresses the re-learning of how to be himself and the creative artist forcibly stalled by Covid.”
