Alice Gee | 03/10/2025

Having mastered crafting music that sits delicately between vulnerability and quiet strength, Fusaro continues to write introspective storytelling with understated yet powerful soundscapes. 2026 is the year Fusaro will step onto one of the world’s biggest stages as she represents Switzerland for the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. It’s a huge honour for Fusaro having only wanted to share her music with the world. But Fusaro brings more than just a song to share with the world, instead she brings a deeply personal narrative with her entry “Alice” exploring themes of control silence and emotional complexity. She remains fearless continuing her tradition of turning difficult subjects into music that is intimate whilst universally resonant.

What does it mean to represent Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026?

​

It’s a huge honour and it means a lot to me. Ever since I was a kid, my biggest dream has been to share my music with the world. Eurovision might not be the whole world, but it’s a big part of it.

​

​

​

Eurovision often features big, bold performances—how will you translate the intimacy of “Alice” to a large audience?

​

I think we’ve found a really strong way to amplify the meaning of the song on such a big stage, while still keeping its intimacy. I can’t say too much yet — you’ll have to wait and see :)

​

​

​

What’s your hope to performing for Switzerland in the competition?

​

My hope is to create a moment where people feel something, whether that’s connection, reflection, or simply being seen for a few minutes. If the performance resonates with people beyond the stage, then I feel like I’ve done what I came here to do.

​

​

​

How have you been preparing to be part of the competition and the exciting press run and shows before hopefully progressing to the finale?

​

Preparation is everything. I try to take care of both my body and my mental health, because it’s such an intense time. I’m also working a lot on the performance, going through it again and again, so that it feels as natural and grounded as possible on stage.

​

​

​

Your music often balances vulnerability and strength—how do you balance being so intimate within songwriting and releasing music in a world that has so much access to people and others commentary?

​

It all starts with honesty. When I write, I don’t really think about how it will be received. It’s quite an egoistic act in the beginning. I just focus on what feels true to me. And I think that’s actually the most important part.

​

​

Once I share it with the world, I’ve already spent so much time with the lyrics and the music that I feel quite grounded in it. So,  don’t get too affected by other people’s opinions.

​

​

​

How did you support yourself and your emotional vulnerability when writing “Alice”?

​

I think writing the song was actually a way of processing those emotions. For me, music is a space where I can put things that are hard to talk about into something that makes sense.

​

​

​

What inspired you to explore topics including control and boundary crossing when deciding to write “Alice”?

It wasn’t a calculated decision. It came more from observation and reflection. It’s a topic that unfortunately still feels very present, violence against women is something you regularly read about in the news. As a woman, it’s something you inevitably think about. And I write about things I care about.

​

​

​

The song deals with psychological and emotional manipulation so beautifully, how important has it been to highlight forms of abuse that aren’t always visible and bring attention to the issues people face in these situation?

I really hope I did the subject justice. For me, it felt important to highlight these kinds of dynamics, because they’re often the hardest to recognise. I write about things that mean a lot to me, things that keep me up at night. And this is definitely one of them.

If the song can help bring a bit more awareness to these situations, then that already means a lot to me.

​

​

You mention that “Alice” never actually speaks in the song—what does that silence represent to you?

That it’s not about what Alice does, but about what is done to her.

​

​

​

The music video is set at a wedding where observation turns into obsession—what drew you to this concept?

For me, the idea of a wedding felt like a very strong contrast. It’s a setting that’s supposed to be safe, beautiful and full of love, the coronation of love even.

​

Placing this kind of tension and discomfort into that environment makes the dynamic even more visible. What also interested me was how subtle everything can feel in that context. From the outside, it might look completely normal, while something else is happening underneath.

​

​

​

Do you see the video as an extension of the song, and how has it been crucial in adding to the songs nuances?

To me, the video is more like another version of Alice’s story.

It adds nuance by showing a different situation within the same theme, without explaining everything directly.

​

​

How was working with Charlie McClean an important part in creating the song? Did you find working with someone helped open doors emotionally or did it make it harder at times?

​

It really depends on whether you vibe with a person or not. I had just met Charlie on the day we wrote “Alice”, and I think the result speaks for itself.

​

It felt like a very safe space, especially being able to talk about such a heavy subject. I think writing with someone can actually open things up emotionally, if that trust is there.
