"Eaea" is a song by Spanish singer Blanca Paloma. The song was co-written by Paloma alongside José Pablo Polo and Álvaro Tato, with Polo serving as the song's solo producer. It was released on 20 December 2022 through Universal. The song represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, where it finished in 17th at the final with 100 points.

"Eaea" is described as a new flamenco lullaby that serves as a tribute an ode to Paloma's grandmother, Carmen, and the culture of the Spanish region of Andalusia. The song drew largely positive reception from both Spanish and international critics and for its flamenco elements, Paloma's vocal abilities, and its unique musical nature.

Background and composition

[edit]

"Eaea" was written by Blanca Paloma, José Pablo Polo, and Álvaro Tato.[1] According to Paloma, she first thought of writing the new flamenco song during a trip at the Antón Martín market in Madrid, with Paloma visiting a flamenco dance school.[2] The song itself is heavily inspired by Paloma's grandmother, Carmen, along with cultural aspects of Andalusian life,[2] with its lyrics and composition being described as a lullaby. In interviews, Paloma stated that she wrote "Eaea" as a tribute to Carmen's "love" towards her, taking inspiration from an Andalusian lullaby that Carmen used to sang to her that mocked death.[3][4] She later added in an El Mundo interview that the song was meant to "fill the void" of Carmen's memory when she died.[5]

When initially applying to Benidorm Fest 2023, Paloma initially sent two songs: "Eaea" and "Plumas de nácar", with Spanish broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) choosing the former to compete in the competition.[6] The song officially premiered on 18 December 2022 alongside all other Benidorm Fest 2023 songs[7] and was released on streaming platforms two days later.[a]

Music video and promotion

[edit]

Along with the song's release, an accompanying music video directed by Angel Pastana was released on 9 March 2023, featuring five dancers: Paloma Scharfhausen, Angélica Moyano, Paula Valbuena, Paula Gironi, and Amanda Nóbrega.[8][9][10] The video featured a similar atmosphere to Paloma's performance at Benidorm Fest 2023, with the video featuring the addition of chairs; to Paloma, her standing up after sitting down from a chair represented to Paloma that "when I first started singing in front of a crowd, I did it while sitting because I didn't feel bold enough to do it while standing. Getting up from that chair represents the moment of claiming up my space as an artist."[10] The video also includes the addition of a shot of Paloma surrounded by approximately 300 candles;[10] in an analysis from La Vanguardia's Monica Paredes, the inclusion of candles represented "a way of invoking our ancestors and creating a women's rite".[11]

Promotion

[edit]

To further promote the song, Paloma announced her intent to perform at various Eurovision pre-parties before the contest during the months of March and April, including the Barcelona Eurovision Party on 25 March,[12] Israel Calling on 3 April,[13] Pre-Party ES 2023 on 8 April,[14] Eurovision in Concert on 15 April,[15] and the London Eurovision Party on 16 April.[16] She also made various appearance on television shows and art exhibitions, performing a specialized version of "Eaea" on Spanish talk show El Hormiguero on 14 February[17][18] and acoustic versions of the song during the ARCO art show [es] on 23 February[19] and the Portuguese national final for Eurovision 2023, Festival da Canção 2023, on 25 February.[20]

Critical reception

[edit]

Spanish media and personalities

[edit]

Amongst Spanish society, reactions to "Eaea" were mixed. El Mundo's Eduardo Álvarez wrote that while the song allowed Paloma to showcase her "vocal brilliance", he admitted that the song would only appeal to juries.[21] El País' Carlos Marcos compared Paloma's song to those of María José Llergo, describing it as "an interesting piece that brings cante jondo closer to electronic sound, creating an atmosphere with Lorca-esque connotations." He also added that Paloma sung "wonderfully".[22] The Conversation's José Luis Panea praised the song for its unusual nature, stating that the song was "an opportunity to take advantage of [Eurovision] and for professionals in the artistic field to contribute to creating suggestive and avant-garde imagery on public television, beyond the mainstream trends we are so accustomed to consuming."[23] Spanish representative for Eurovision 2022, Chanel Terrero, stated that she saw Paloma to be "very prepared... we have a chance of winning and I hope [it happens]."[24] In contrast, radio and television journalist Máximo Pradera [es] criticised the song for sounding like a "Christmas carol... It is impossible for this trickster to win anything."[25]

[edit]

Amongst international media, reception was consistently positive. In a Wiwibloggs review containing reviews from several critics, the song was rated 8.17 out of 10 points,[26] coming fourth out of 37 songs on the site's annual ranking.[27] A ranking containing reviews from three BuzzFeed editors ranked the song 19th overall, earning a total of 18 out of a possible 30 points.[28] Vulture's Jon O'Brien ranked the song 17th overall, describing it as an "aggressively Spanish" song, praising Paloma's vocal abilities and stage presence.[29] Another three Vulture editors consisting of Charlie Harding, Nate Sloan, and Reanna Cruz all praised the song's connections to Spanish culture and flamenco, writing that the song was musically complex.[30] ESC Beat's Doron Lahav ranked the song first overall out of the 37 entries competing in Eurovision 2023, writing that Paloma had a "very impressive vocal ability" that "put me to tears this year".[31]

BBC News' Mark Savage called the song as "one of the most musically intriguing entries" of Eurovision 2023, predicting a top three finish in the contest.[32] The Guardian's Ben Beaumont–Thomas included the song in his "14 songs to listen out for at Eurovision 2023" list, describing it as "bold and engaging... the song wraps around you like a fluttering bolt of cloth". He later added that Paloma's vocal abilities featured "this year's most interesting vocal timbre".[33] i's Anna Bonet ranked it tenth out of the 26 finalists in Eurovision 2023, writing that the song was "bold, and bound to be divisive".[34] The Times' Ed Potten ranked the song fourth out of the 26 finalists, ranking it four out of five stars and describing it as "gratifyingly original".[35]

Benidorm Fest 2023

[edit]

Spain's national broadcaster for the Eurovision Song Contest, Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE), organised an 18-song competition titled Benidorm Fest 2023. The competition was split into two rounds: the first round featured two, nine-song semi-finals on 31 January and 2 February, with the highest four placing songs from each semi-final advancing to an eight-song grand final on 4 February.[36] In all rounds, the voting system was determined by a 50/25/25 split of professional juries, a demographic panel, and a televote, respectively.[37]

"Eaea" was drawn to perform fifth in the second semi-final.[38] For its Benidorm Fest performance, Paloma wore an asymmetrical red top, black strips that covered the majority of her left arm, and white leather pants.[39] The staging featured red hanging fringes, which was a tribute to the clothing style of Paloma's grandmother displayed on the cover artwork of "Eaea".[40] Paloma is accompanied by three background dancers consisting of Angélica Moyano, Paula Valbuena and Paloma Fernández, and two backing vocalists consisting of Desiré Paredes and Saray Frutos.[2] The six performers are described by Paloma to be performing "a rite of invocation, of trance, of catharsis, where somehow we connect with our ancestors, with the strength they have left each one of us".[5]

The song qualified from the second semi-final, coming in first with 167 points.[41] "Eaea" was later drawn to perform sixth in the grand final.[42] After the final results were announced, the song was revealed to have won the competition. Paloma finished first in the expert jury with 94 points, second in the demoscopic jury with 35 points, and first in the televote with 40.[43] The combined total of 169 points was 24 more than the runner-up, Agoney's "Quiero arder".[44]

At Eurovision

[edit]

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 took place at the Liverpool Arena in Liverpool, United Kingdom, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 9 and 11 May, and the final on 13 May 2023. As Spain was a member of the "Big Five", Paloma automatically qualified for the grand final.[45] She was drawn to perform eighth in the final, ahead of Cyprus' Andrew Lambrou and before Sweden's Loreen.[46]

For its Eurovision performance, the song was tweaked to "elevate the song to a higher status".[47] The staging remained largely similar to the Benidorm Fest version, with slight changes to camera angles and lighting being made to accommodate for the Eurovision stage.[48][49][50] The red curtains, which were hanged from the roof during the Benidorm Fest performance, was now instead made transportable and movable.[51] Paloma wore an outfit designed by Paola de Diego and Raúl Amor that was made to look like an archer; according to El Mundo, the costume cost €12,650.[52]

The performance received mixed reactions. The Independent's Mark Beaumont described it as "a breathtaking performance that breaks innumerable Eurovision rules."[53] El País' Mariola Cubells stated, "Blanca Paloma did such a powerful performance, very dignified and very worked for. And we have to value the effort put into the performance being for TV, which was hard enough, was good."[54] Another writer for El País, Carlos Marcos, wrote that "Blanca Paloma had a powerful weapon: a huge, deep, pinching voice. Her interpretation was remarkable and the staging attractive without overdoing it."[55] In contrast, Mara Maionchi, an Italian commentator for Eurovision for Italian broadcaster RAI, heavily criticised Paloma's vocals during her performance, compa."ring them to "a lullaby, but the child won't sleep anymore because she screams... too much [like a madwoman]."[56]

After the results were announced, Paloma finished in 17th out of 26 finalists with 100 points, with a split score of 95 jury points and five televoting points.[57] The song received no sets of 12 points. Regarding the former, the highest given was a set of ten points by Portugal. In televoting, the highest score given was a set of three points, also given by Portugal.[58] In response to her result, Paloma stated that she thought the finish was due to not "connect[ing] to as many people as we'd imagined".[59] She later stated to ABC that "I am happy with the execution. It was risky. I want to encourage people not to stop taking risks with different proposals."[60] El Mundo's Eduardo Álvarez declared in response to the result that "[she] did not deserve those shameful five points from the televote... However, Blanca Paloma has allowed us to dream in recent days to conquer the top of the podium".[61]
