Albania - Jonida Maliqi - Ktheju Tokës

17 - 90 pts / 8 - 96 pts in semi 2
New version DRI
Jonida Maliqi won the 57th Festivali i Këngës with the song Ktheju Tokës (lit. Return to Earth, or rather Return to the land)
The song is written by Eriona Rushiti.

The original studio version can be heard here at RTSH's Youtube.
The single was released on March 8, but the Spotify version appears to be the original version, still a bit too long.
A new version video was revealed on March 10. That one is here.
The digital release was on March 15, along with a karaoke version.

A promo is made, it's a CDrom/DVDrom with audio's video's and info.
It includes four versions of Ktheju Tokës (see versions). They are audio files that only play on PC's (not on CD players) and all are included twice, once as mp3, once as wave file.
The DVDrom has FiK video, official videoclip plus bios, lyrics and pictures.
