Norway's Eurovision hopeful Alessandra's source of inspiration for her song comes from having to hide her true self from those around her.
The vocal powerhouse has remained a strong contender for the 2023 trophy ever since she stormed Norway's national selections, Melodi Grand Prix. Over the course of this year's contest, she's been praised by fans for her showstopping performances and generally humble demeanour despite her popularity.
Her track, Queen of Kings, is a heavy dance anthem, one that's remained on fans' playlists since it was released. The 20-year-old and her delegation team arrived in Liverpool a few days ago and with the Eurovision journey spiralling toward a close, it all feels surreal.
