Digital release image

16 - 105 pts / not in semi
Bilal Hassani won the French selection Destination Eurovision with his song Roi (King).
Bilal wrote the song with Madame Monsieur (of Mercy fame) and Medeline.
The track was released as a digital single on January 4.
An acoustic version has appeared on Youtube.

A 1-track promo in card sleeve was issued first (Low Wood / Play Two)
A 3-track promo (cd-r) also has English and instrumental. The version of Roi on the 3-track is a re-recording of the original in a slightly different key. The third track is an instrumental (not karaoke) in the new key.
The English version comes "in the old key".

Bilal Hassani released his debut album Kingdom on April 26.
It also includes new singles Fais Beleck and Jaloux. (Full tracklist below)
The CD version includes Roi (original version) but the digital outside France version does not. (Oh well, it does now, June 2019)

Kingdom, the Bilal Hassani album

Bilal entered The Voice Kids in 2015 auditioning with Rise Like A Phoenix, the song we all know and love by Conchita Wurst. Bilal didn't make it to the final (battle) stages back then.
