Speaking at the launch of David Blake Knox’s book Ireland and The Eurovision, Bonnie said: “We don’t want to lay down anything until it’s definite and I’m really happy with it. It falls under the umbrella of pop,” she told Goss.ie.
“I’m going for a hip-hop approach, it’s a little bit different. There wont be any rapping going on but it’ll be some dancey type stuff.”
