Written By: MIM!—Stella Mwangi (aka STL) is among the Norwegian semi-finalist of the Melodi Grand Prix. Stella will compete on January 29th and if she wins, she will compete in the Norwegian finals for the coveted slot in the Eurovision song contest. The finals will be held in Spectrum Oslo in February next year. (Eurovision is a song competition that involves 51 countries from Europe and each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular in the competition.)
STLs submission is a yet to be released song haba haba which is mostly influenced by Stella’s Kenyan background. The song will be released in January 2011, and will be the first single from her yet to be titled album scheduled to be released in May 2011. Can't wait to hear it!
