As the Malta Eurovision Song Contest quarter-finals are coming to the results stage soon, we had a great pleasure to chat with the participants of this year’s edition of Malta’s national selection. Brooke Borg is a name that all Eurovision fans know, as she has competed to represent Malta a couple of times in the past already. She is back in the Contest again this year, and she presented her song “Checkmate” back in the second quarter-final.

We spoke to Brooke about the song “Checkmate”, the story behind it, songwriting, preparations for MESC, as well as personal idols and dream collaborations. Check out all of that, and more, in this interview right here below:
