Singer-songwriter Reylta been announced as the second act bidding to represent Ireland at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. Reylta is the second of six acts hoping to represent Ireland in the contest taking place in Basel, Switzerland in May this year.
Reylta’s song is entitled Fire.
Tune into The Ray D’Arcy Show from 3pm today as Reylta joins Ray in studio to chat about her entry and hear the first radio play of her Eurosong entry, Fire. Four more acts will be unveiled on Ray’s show throughout the week, giving listeners an opportunity to get to know all acts looking to be the next Irish entry to Eurovision 2025.
The six Eurosong finalists will compete on February 7th on The Late Late Eurosong Special to determine who will go on to represent Ireland at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.
Biog: Reylta is a captivating singer-songwriter hailing from rural Ireland, whose music blends bittersweet melodies with a layered, alternative edge. Rooted deeply in Irish tradition and heritage—from its poetic legacy to its evocative landscapes and rich storytelling—her work paints a hauntingly unique perspective. Reylta’s poetic lyrics, lush string arrangements, and evocative harmonies create a soundscape that is both intimate and transcendent.
Performing with her band since 2017, Reylta released her debut single, Fools Games, in 2019. Her much-anticipated debut album, Everything Unsaved Will Be Lost, launched last October to critical acclaim, with the Irish Independent naming her “Galway’s Alt Folk Queen.”
Yesterday on The Ray D’Arcy Show, Bobbi Arlo spoke of her entry to Eurosong. You can listen back here.
