Eurovision Uncovered Meets Leléka: Not Your Ukrainian Princess

Leleka will sing 'Ridnym' at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. James Stephenson met up with the singer-songwriter in April, ahead of her trip to Vienna for a Eurovision Uncovered interview.<br />

<br />

They talk about her background in jazz, the development of her two unique musical personas, and how Leléka is combining them while also preparing to represent Ukraine both to those living there and to audiences around the world with 'Ridnym' - and whether it can combine both sides of her to win.<br />
