Скачать или смотреть Supernova 2026: Interview with ELPO 🇱🇻

We spoke with Amanda from ELPO and the conversation went exactly where you’d expect it not to: grief, nostalgia, writing in Latvian and parents trying to understand electronic music.

ELPO are competing in Supernova 2026 with 'Blakus', a quiet, melancholic track that doesn’t chase big moments or easy reactions. Amanda talks openly about how the song came from grief, how the project started through emails before it ever became a duo, and why writing in your native language leaves you with nowhere to hide.

This isn’t a polished promo interview. It’s messy at times, reflective, funny in an unplanned way, and very aware of how strange it is to bring an intimate song to a TV stage for the first time. There’s no attempt to oversell anything here — just an artist thinking out loud about music, vulnerability, and trusting her own instincts.

If 'Blakus' works for you, it probably won’t be because someone told you it should. And if it doesn’t, that’s fine too. This conversation lives somewhere in between.
