They weren’t originally scheduled to showcase their song “Someone” during Semi-Final 3 of Melodi Grand Prix 2022. But following a positive Covid result in the originally scheduled act Subwoolfer, the boy group NorthKid had to push everything forward by a week to perform their heartbreaking song “Someone”.
Now the five guys from northern Norway have followed that up by presenting their emotional music video, which they’ve crafted to tug on heart strings and elicit those tears.
“Our songs are often about love, and all the girls – or boys – we didn’t get,” says guitarist and singer Håkon Guttormsen. “Relationships that didn’t turn out the way we wanted and hoped for. That’s why we are so happy we can use our voice and platform to show that love is love, and happens in every age group. Also, this year marks the celebration of it being 50 years since being gay was decriminalized in Norway.”
As you can tell, promoting tolerance and acceptance is a cornerstone of their efforts at MGP this year.
“People might not be as open-minded in smaller villages and remote places, like here in Oslo,” says singer Bilal Saab. “I really hope we can be a voice in the battle for acceptance, and show how beautiful love is – regardless of whom you love.”
“I think there are a lot of people who need to see that guys like us, from small villages like Alta and Hasvik, show that it is cool and totally fine to love whoever.”
