The final version of “Nova Zora” which will represent Montenegro at the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest has been released.
The revamped “Nova Zora” which is being performed by Tamara Živković, has been released today. The song has undergone changes to its production to enhance it for the Eurovision Song Contest stage this May. The choice of release date is also important to Tamara as March 8 is International Women’s Day. Tamara commented that:
“When I say ‘Nova Zora’, I don’t mean the perfect beginning or the moment, but the moment when you say to yourself – enough is enough. You don’t have to like everyone, fit in, pretend it’s easy for you. I want women to recognize themselves in this, as I recognized myself, to feel that they are not alone, and for it to be natural for them to choose and listen to themselves.”
Tamara Živković will perform in the second half of the first semi-final on May 12. Read more about her here:

Montenegro debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest as an independent country in 2007, and participated until 2010 when they withdrew for financial reasons. They returned to the contest in 2012, and since then have mostly chosen their entry internally. Montenegro failed to qualify for the grand final until 2014, when Sergej Ćetković and his song “Moj svijet” placed 19th in the final. Their best result came a year later, when Knez performed “Adio” in Vienna. They have never reached the top 10, with Knez reaching 13th out of 27 countries.
