PBS Malta has announced that that Ira Losco's Eurovision entry 'Walk on Water' will be released internationally by Warner Music Sweden. It will be realised on iTunes, Spotify, and other digital portals through Warner on 8 April.
The move comes after discussions with three international record labels.
Warner Music Sweden is no stranger to the Eurovision Song Contest, having been the record label for both Loreen and Mans when they won the competition in 2012 and 2015 respectively.
'Walk on Water' will be the only song taking part in this year's contest that is being released by Warner Sweden.
"We are thrilled to be releasing Ira's song worldwide," said Robert Skowronski, A&R and Product Manager at Warner Music Sweden. "Ira is an exceptional singer, and we think this is a very strong song not only for Eurovision but also for commercial release. We look forward to working with her over the next months, and of course to her visiting Stockholm for Eurovision itself."
PBS Malta CEO Anton Attard added, "Ira is one of Malta's best-known artists, and to have a major label like Warner Sweden on board for our entry opens a lot of doors for us internationally as we prepare for Eurovision. For them to choose our song as their only act in the competition is something we're very proud of."
'Walk on Water' was premiered on 17 March and already has almost 850,000 views on YouTube since its launch. The song was composed by Lisa Desmond, Tim Larsson, Tobias Lundgren, Molly Pettersson-Hammar and Ira Losco herself.
Ira Losco is one of the biggest names in Maltese music, and her career spanning over 15 years has seen her win more than 20 music awards. Ira has twice opened concerts for Sir Elton John and has performed alongside Katie Melua, Maroon 5, Akon, Enrique Iglesias, Ronan Keating, Tokio Hotel, Gigi D'Alessio and many more. She has also had a string of chart topping singles, including What I'd Give, The Person I Am, and Me Luv U Long Time. Her fifth album will be released this year.
