She rose to fame after winning Eurovision 2010 and she’s remained popular in the German music industry ever since.
And now “Satellite” singer Lena is lending her star quality to up-and-coming artist Nicole Cross.
On July 22 Nicole uploaded a cover of “This Is What You Came For” — the global hit from Calvin Harris and Rihanna — featuring Lena.
Looking radiant and sounding fabulous, Lena delivers her breathy vocals with conviction. Working in a higher register than Nicole, she helps give the song texture and dynamism.
The piano backing underscores what is a stunning vocal performance. When they switch vocals on the “you” refrain, both ladies hit their notes like nobody else.
We aren’t surprise that fans are going into meltdown in the comments section of the video.
Lena’s latest record, “Crystal Sky”, climbed the charts not only in Germany, but also in Switzerland and Austria. Her recent singles “Traffic Lights” and “Wild & Free” soared too. The latter actually won the wiwibloggs Top Track of 2015.
As for Nicole, the 22 year-old has quietly built up a massive following on social media.
She now has nearly 20,000 followers on Instagram, 770,000 subscribers on YouTube, and 109,000 fans on Facebook.
What do you think about the collaboration? Do you think that Lena and Nicole should duet in the future? And would you like to see Nicole go to Eurovision? Could her voice lead her to do as well as another Nicole from Germany who won Eurovision in 1982?
At first glance I thought that Lena had teamed up with 1982 winner Nicole – it would be great to see Germany’s two winners together!
