Azerbaijan | Eldar Gasimov 'Rises Up' with his new single

In 2011, the duo Ell & Nikki won the Eurovision Song Contest with their song 'Running Scared', which brought the contest to Baku in 2012. Now, the 2011 winner has released his new song 'Rising Up'. The Swedish duo Johan Jämtberg & Mikael Gunnerås together wrote and produced the song alongside Eldar. Jämtberg & Gunnerås represented Malta together with Kurt Calleja, being co-writers for his song 'This is the Night'.

After winning the contest in 2011, Eldar's career took off in a meteoric rise. In 2013, Gasimov, Jämtberg & Gunnerås wrote, produced and released the song 'The One', which quickly became very popular in Eldar's home country.

The song 'Rising Up' is about taking control of your life again, after being let down and broken.
