By Amina Nazarli
Less than two months left to see one of the most exciting events to be held in Europe. This year the Jubilee 60th 2015 Eurovision Song Contest which will bring together thousands of music lovers will be held in Vienna, Austria on May 23.
Talented singer Elnur Huseynov will represent Azerbaijan in this significant contest. His choice fell on a mystical contemporary ballad - Hour Of The Wolf, which he will perform at the annual contest.
The semifinals of the international contest will be held on May 19 and 21. Elnur will perform under the 11th number in the second semifinal.
Talking about his song on the official website of the contest he said that "Hour Of The Wolf" is a mystical contemporary ballad. “I’m already in love with my song,” he said.
Elnur is no stranger to the Eurovision Song Contest, as he's already written into the history of his country’s participation as he was a participant in 2008.
“I will take the Eurovision stage for a second time this year. In 2008, as part of Elnur & Samir duo we reached eighth place, with the song "Day After Day". We already have many ideas on how to hypnotize our audience and bring something new and special to the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest,” he said.
Answering a question on whether or not he has a lucky routine before going on stage, Elnur noted, “Well, to be honest I don’t have any. It’s high time I adopt some 'lucky' routine before the contest.”
He considers the contest as a great chance to present himself as a solo artist.
“I believe in my entry song as it has so many powerful messages. It is truly a song with great meaning of which the most important is ‘that every heart deserves a fight’ and we should never give up. We must fight for our happiness,” he said.
Elnur has been working hard on his music career. Earlier in February this year the singer won the fourth season of one very popular TV show “O Ses Turkiye” (The Voice Turkey), setting up a record in the tele-voting history of the show by collecting over a million votes.
Elnur is an Azerbaijani singer, born in 1987. At the age of five, Elnur had his first experience with music, when he started attending piano and vocal classes. Later on, Elnur began to experiment with different music styles such as classic, jazz and pop.
He worked at the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre and at the State Philharmonic Hall. Elnur continued improving his vocal technique under the guidance of renowned vocal coaches.
