Sorry, we’re busy!
reported Santa, as singer Elīna Gluzunova and her new partner Jānis Pētersons announced they were spending time together in Estonia and Riga.
Each of us has experienced our own apocalypse,
Gluzunova acknowledged while relaxing with Pētersons in Estonia, adding that by her new partner’s side she feels safe and does not need to hide her scars, fight, or pretend to be someone she is not.
The couple posted updates from the Aston Hotel Riga, stating they currently want to enjoy peace and each other’s closeness, before later arriving together at Riga Fashion Week in October.
Seven years after winning the television music show X Faktors, Gluzunova has released a new song titled Diena Ausa on digital platforms, nra.lv reported. The track originated during a songwriting camp where participants divided into teams and had 90 minutes to sketch a new composition, according to la.lv. That initial 30-second draft developed into a full song, with the collaboration continuing after the camp ended.
The track features contributions from Ralfs Siliņš, also known as Siluets, guest artist Daniels Mad, and singer-producer Paula Dundere, bnn.lv reported. Electronic music rhythms blend with cello strings performed by Erna Daugaviete, while Reinis Kārkliņš handled the mix and master.
Diena ausa combines ethno music elements with a modern electronic sound,
Gluzunova said, as reported by nra.lv. She noted that the lyrics incorporate mythology and folklore figures including Pērkons, the black Jods, a swan, and Laimes zeme.
The support team described the song’s main themes as a person’s inner awakening, connection to ancestral heritage, and the search for personal freedom, contrasting past influences against shaping a future where Gluzunova embodies light and hope while Daniels Mad represents an opposing side.
Gluzunova previously released the song Šonakt in February in collaboration with the band Tumsa, and she plans to join the Opus Pro anniversary concert tour in 2027 alongside preparing a romantic concert program with opera singer Jānis Apeinis, la.lv reported. Gluzunova announced that the track will be featured on her debut album, which is scheduled for release in 2027.
Gluzunova won the television music show X Faktors in 2019, according to la.lv, having also started her musical career at four years old by performing in children’s vocal groups and vocalists’ competitions.
She participated in the 2022 Supernova national Eurovision selection with the song Es pabiju tur, placing fifth in the final, la.lv reported.
The song grew from a 30-second sketch created during a songwriting camp where teams were given 90 minutes to write a new piece, nra.lv reported.
