We reported on this a couple weeks ago, but Danish composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Myrkur (Amalie Bruun) has a dream. And that dream is to represent her homeland in this year’s Eurovision. She’s got a few steps ahead of her before that can happen, most notably being the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix this weekend, but she just took another crack at making her song submission more notable to her country by releasing a cinematic music video.
The song in question, “Touch My Love And Die” was commissioned by Danish broadcasting company DR and it sees Myrkur meld her metal, folk, and film score tendencies into one piece. The result is a beautiful, multi-layered, multi-faceted track that reflects the changes that happened to Bruun last year.
If she wins the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, she’ll end up representing her country in Eurovision, which would be a big deal. For those that don’t know, Eurovision is a big music competition between predominantly European countries (though others like Israel and Australia can perform) where a chosen performer does their best to garner enough votes from viewers that they become the number one winner.
