Eurovision 2015: Slovenia

Slovenia gets hip with Maraaya’s “indie pop.”

I’m hearing a bit of 60s Britpop in this one. Cilla, Dusty, Lulu, Maraaya (Marjetka and Raay)….

Maraaya – Here For You (Slovenia) (Eurovision Song Contest: Second Semi Final)

Maraaya are Marjetka and Raay. The name is a combination of their names. They are married and are parents of two boys. Marjetka and Raay formed Maraaya last year, when they released their first single Lovin’ Me which was a big success in Slovenia and in some music charts abroad.

Marjetka graduated at the Ljubljana Academy of Music, and now teaches budding vocalists at her musical workshops. Raay is one of the most prolific music producers in Slovenia, and has been increasingly active abroad in recent years.

Raay has been the most played Slovene songwriter on annual airplay charts. He has designed Maraaya’s music style, which is usually described as “indie pop”.
