Chris Noah Releases New Single "Romance Isn’t Dead"

Musician Chris Noah has released the song “Romance Isn’t Dead” in English, aiming to compete for the chance to represent Latvia at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland.

Just a few days after finishing his album “Goodbyes Aren’t Sad When We Know We’ll Meet Again,” Chris Noah began working on his Eurovision song. The track was created in collaboration with British producer Christopher Harris at his studio in his hometown of Margate, England, where Chris spent a week in a creative session. As usual, Chris’s stage partners and friends — drummer Jēkabs Zemzaris, keyboardist Krists Krūskops, and guitarist Kaspars Vizulis — participated in the recording both in Latvia and England.

“Sometimes I miss real romance so much — not just in the context of relationships but also in the everyday routines — romanticizing the impressions, experiences, and stories we gather. For this reason, the song expresses my disappointment in society's accepted norms and the usual daily routine, which is quite predictable and can feel impersonal. The chorus 'Romance isn’t dead' is a statement I truly want to believe in, but it’s becoming harder and harder to do so,” explains Chris Noah about the song.

This is not Chris Noah’s first time writing a song for Eurovision. In 2023, his collaboration with Latvian producer JJ Lush — the song “Stay” — performed by Lithuanian artist Monika Linkyte, triumphed in the Lithuanian Eurovision national selection and finished in 11th place at the Eurovision final in Liverpool, UK. Additionally, last year, Chris Noah joined Don at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden, to perform backing vocals on the song “Hollow.”

For the upcoming Latvian Television song contest "Supernova," the jury has selected 20 participants, who will compete live on February 1, 2025, for a spot in the February 8th final. The winner will have the chance to represent Latvia at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland, this May.
