A song swap that excites:
Johnny Logan and Lordi
surprise fans
The Irish singer and three-time Eurovision winner Johnny Logan and the Finnish hard rock
artist Lordi, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, have realised a joint project in which
both reinterpreted the other’s most famous song. Logan recorded a pop-rock version of “Hard
Rock Hallelujah”, while Lordi, together with singer „Motherbeast“ Noora Louhimo, produced
a new metal-ballad version of “Hold Me Now“.
The idea emerged during a spontaneous phone call. “ The meeting was scheduled for 15
minutes and then lasted over an hour. We immediately hit it off,” says Logan. The original idea
of a duet for the 20th anniversary of Lordi’s ESC victory was quickly discarded in favour of a
song swap. “When I heard Lordi’s demo of their winning song tailored to me, I knew right away
that I wanted to do it.”
We are mothers, we are daughters, we are fathers, we are sons,
We are invincible, when we are one.
