In the wake of nearly clinching a spot to represent Norway once again at Eurovision, KEiiNO, the illustrious Norwegian trio, have again captured hearts worldwide. Their Eurovision attempt, ‘Damdiggida,’ not only secured a beloved status live and across Norwegian radio but also soared in streaming platforms’ charts. Building on this exciting new sound for the group, KEiiNO release their new single, ‘Hero, Baby.’
‘Hero, Baby’ emerges as the quintessential anthem for fans adoring ‘Damdiggida’s vibe, yet yearning for an even more dynamic, sing-along bop. With a pulsating tempo of 158 BPM, this pop banger revives the golden era of early 2000’s Eurodance, setting the stage for an unforgettable festival season. The band will also be setting the dancefloor alight at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London, where they play a headline show on April 6. Tickets are available here.
Crafted in collaboration with KEiiNO-collaborator Alexander Olsson and mastered by the iconic Sören von Malmborg in Stockholm, ‘Hero, Baby’ promises to be a staple in playlists and dance floors worldwide.
In an endearing twist, Fred Buljo, KEiiNO’s charismatic rapper and joiker, shares his talent in Northern Norwegian, marking a significant moment before embracing a new role as a hero at home on paternity leave. Trading dance floors for diapers, and beer bottles for baby bottles, Fred’s imminent journey into fatherhood highlights the song’s universal message—we all need a hero now and then.
‘Hero, Baby’ also showcases Tom Hugo taking the lead vocals to new heights, sharing this creative endeavor with his husband Alexander Olsson and the Berlin-based producer Rüdiger Schramm. Together, they weave a narrative that balances the complexities of life, intertwining joy and sorrow in a melody that resonates with every listener.
Meanwhile, Alexandra Rotan, KEiiNO’s powerhouse vocalist, ventures into new territory, starring in the popular Norwegian reality show “Kompani Lauritzen.” Far removed from the Eurovision glamor, Alexandra’s participation in military training underscores the resilience and multifaceted talent within KEiiNO.
