Teya & Salena are chosen to sing for Austria in the 2023 contest.
Teya and Salena met at the Starmania 21 talent show and have been friends ever since. That's nice.
The song is titled Who The Hell Is Edgar? and was revealed and released on March 8. The titular Edgar refers to the mystery writer and poet Edgar Allen Poe, or at least his ghost.
The song is written by Teodora Spirić (Teya), Selina-Maria Edbauer (Salena) ,
Ronald Janeček and Pele Loriano, so they'll have to split the 0.003 per stream cent 4-ways.
I think the lyrics are brilliant, best experienced when you watch the video.
Teodora Spirić participated in the Serbian selection in 2020 (as Thea Devy). She ended 10th in the final with Sudnji Dan, a song that she had also entered for consideration to be the Austrian entry, but in English as Judgement day. But, as you know, there was no Eurovision Song Contest anyway.
We know songwriter Pele Loriano from Switzerland 2010, Lithuania 2019 and Austria 2020 (from the contest that never happened).
Who The Hell is he anyway?

Spooky fact: The Edgar Allan Poe museum had to close down because of a power outage on the day that the Austrian entry was revealed. That can't be a coincidence.
It is also rumoured that Poe sometimes visits the museum in his afterlife and there are also claims that he continued writing after his death. Well, he has a facebook page, so that's probably true.
