Eesti Laul 2025: The Line-up, The Drama, and the Songs We Can’t Wait to Hear

There’s something electric in the Estonian air as Eesti Laul 2025 creeps closer, and the selection process has been every bit as thrilling as the anticipation itself. With 34 jury members sifting through a staggering 175 submissions, the final 15 tracks set to grace the Unibet Arena stage on February 15 promise nothing less than a musical feast. But don’t think for a second that Eesti Laul is just another Eurovision stepping stone; it’s a celebration of Estonia’s diverse musical soul.

On the most recent episode of Ringvaade, seven more contestants were revealed, joining a previously announced roster of names with impressive track records and even more impressive song titles. Among them, Andrei Zevakin teams up with Karita on “Ma ei tea sind,” an enigmatic piece that promises to add a touch of mystery to the competition. And if “Espresso Macchiato” by Tommy Cash doesn’t pique your curiosity, what will? This song alone is causing ripples of intrigue, blending Cash’s edgy style with the sort of lyrical ambiguity that could either shock or delight Estonia’s Eurovision hopefuls.

Joining the ranks of Eesti Laul’s already famous faces, the newcomers include Frants Tikerpuu with “Trouble,” and Gem98’s intriguing “Psycho,” both promising tracks that might well tip the scales in this year’s fiercely competitive landscape. Janek’s “Frozen” brings a touch of Scandinavian chill, no surprise, with Kjetil Mørland from Norway co-authoring the piece. And let’s not forget Joelle, who will make sure “Eyes Don’t Lie” stays imprinted on everyone’s mind.

What’s exciting about Eesti Laul this year is the sheer diversity of its line-up, which swings from rap to indie pop and all the way to haunting ballads. It’s as if each artist has plucked something deeply personal, tailored it with the uniqueness that only Eesti Laul permits, and put it forth as a gift to the Estonian people.

This entire musical showdown will unfold at the grand final in Unibet Arena, promising lights, drama, and some truly unforgettable performances. Whether you’re in it for the international exposure, the homegrown talent, or just the thrill of competition, this February promises to be the ultimate winter warmer.

Estonia, get ready — the Eurovision spotlight awaits!
