Eurovision 2026 finally arrives in Vienna this weekend after months of anticipation. As the contest draws near, Switzerland’s entry, Veronica Fusaro, is heading into the competition with one of the most powerful and emotionally charged songs of the year.
While many Eurovision entries embrace glossy Europop and theatrical spectacle, Fusaro stands apart through the grit, passion, and raw intensity of her track, Alice. Armed with a commanding rock-star presence and arena-ready guitar solos, she is set to captivate audiences – but it is the song’s meaning that truly distinguishes her from the competition. The track is a striking example of the storytelling that has helped shape her growing influence across Switzerland, Italy, and beyond.
Alice unfolds like a haunting fairytale. Beneath the waltz-like atmosphere of its verses lies the spiralling story of a woman slowly broken down by emotional abuse, manipulation, and control. Lost within the illusion of her relationship, she fails to recognise what is happening until she has completely lost herself.
By using Eurovision’s global stage to spotlight abuse within relationships, Fusaro confronts a deeply sensitive subject with honesty, vulnerability, and a dark-pop edge that is impossible to ignore. Driven by her alluring vocals and a thunderous, guitar-led climax, Alice is poised to leave a lasting impression regardless of where it lands on the scoreboard.
Already a prominent name in Switzerland’s music scene, Veronica Fusaro has performed at major festivals including Glastonbury Festival and Montreux Jazz Festival, winning over audiences with her signature blend of soul, pop, and rock.
As she steps onto the Eurovision stage, Veronica Fusaro reaches a defining milestone in her career – inviting the world to witness a story of torment transformed into rock-pop triumph.
