Chiara X Kurt Calleja? Eurovision Icons Tease Unexpected Collaboration

Chiara X Kurt Calleja? Eurovision Icons Tease Unexpected Collaboration
Apr 30 2025 Share

Yesterday, Maltese Eurovision fans were sent into a frenzy after singer-songwriter Kurt Calleja shared a cryptic Instagram story featuring none other than Chiara Siracusa, one of Malta’s most iconic vocalists. The clip captured a heartwarming moment from Kurt’s studio, accompanied by the caption:

“Imagine telling me 20 years ago when I was at home watching this Diva take Europe by storm that she will one day be in my studio working on a collaboration.”

The “Diva” in question, of course, is Chiara—best known for her timeless ballad “Angel”, which soared to 2nd place at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005, marking Malta’s joint-best result in the competition’s history. The post comes as Chiara celebrates 20 years since her first Eurovision appearance in 1998 with “The One That I Love”—a song that earned her a strong 3rd place finish.

Now, with the potential of a collaboration between Chiara and Kurt, fans are buzzing with questions. Could we be getting a revamped version of “Angel”, perhaps in Maltese? Or is it a brand-new duet, primed to become a summer hit?

Kurt Calleja is no stranger to Eurovision himself, having represented Malta in 2012 with his upbeat track “This is the Night.” More recently, he’s gained attention for his Maltese-language single “Bla Tarf”, showcasing his range as both a performer and songwriter. With Kurt’s pop energy and Chiara’s soulful power vocals, the possibilities for this collaboration are endless—and undeniably exciting.

While no official announcement has been made just yet, one thing is clear: something big is brewing. Until then, fans will have to sit tight, refresh their feeds, and maybe play Angel on repeat—just in case.
