The Nordic nations join forces as Finland’s Eurovision hero Käärijä collaborates with Swedish electronic music duo Hooja on a disco-flavoured party anthem San Francisco Boy. The trio took to the stage at the first heat of Melodifestivalen in Luleå where the the stars brought the song to life in the live setting.
“I wanna have fun / I’m a party boy, I’m a cool boy, I’m a dance boy / I’m a disco boy, San Francisco boy, I’m a dance boy…” Käärijä sings atop an infectious dance groove from producers Aleksi Nurmi and mårdhund. The number isn’t afraid to lean into a sense of camp fun with the musicians clearly having a good time, delivering the song atop ski-themed visuals.
Käärijä is fresh from releasing his studio album People’s Champion – a nod to the the star’s single Cha Cha Cha winning the public vote at Eurovision 2023. Hooja are a duo from Gällivare, who have released anthems such as KOMMER DU IHÅG?
