A year and‌ a half after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden,​ Nemo released their debut‍ album, “Arthouse,” on October 10, 2024. The album is a personal and ambitious project, ‍exploring the boundaries between pop and experimental music.

Following their Eurovision victory with “The Code,” Nemo dedicated time to developing a record that aligned with their artistic vision. While the release of “Arthouse” was delayed due to the extensive promotion surrounding their Eurovision 2024 win, the 26-year-old artist‍ from Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, expressed pride in the final product.

Nemo shared their excitement about finally presenting their ‌work to ⁢the public at a​ show on October‌ 14th, stating, “Its a real pleasure to be⁢ able⁢ to share it after all this time of creation and ⁤production.” The ⁢artist explained they intentionally took the time to refine the album, even postponing their tour to ​alleviate⁢ pressure ‌and ‌pursue new creative directions.
