Eden Alene’s song, “Set Me Free,” will compete in the annual event, which was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Singer Eden Alene will represent Israel at the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest with her song, “Set Me Free.”
A new video featuring a revamped version of the song was released on Friday.
Alene was scheduled to represent Israel at the contest in 2020 with “Feker Libi,” a song written, among others, by famous Israeli singer Idan Raichel, in English, Hebrew, Amharic and Arabic.
The competition was canceled due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
Israel hosted the Eurovision in 2019 in Tel Aviv, after singer Netta Barzilai‘s win the year before with her pop anthem, “Toy,” marked Israel’s fourth win in the contest.
The 2021 Eurovision Song Contest is set to take place in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, and will consist of two semi-finals, on May 18 and 20, with the final set to air on May 22.
