Premiere of the week: Kozlovsky translated a hit from the 2000s, and Darwin and Topolia sang a duet again
Max Barskih – “The person for me”
Unexpectedly for fans, without “warming up”, Max Barskih released another track from his upcoming Ukrainian-language album, inspired by the aesthetics of the 70s. Previously, we had already heard “In Love”, “Not Working Out”, “Tears”, and “Ex”. The music video for the new single was traditionally directed by Alan Badoev, who has been shaping Max Barskih’s visual universe for many years.
– This song was born very unexpectedly. Like snow in the middle of summer. At the moment when passionate love ends and weekdays begin, I still hope and know for sure that there is a person for me somewhere. A person for each of us, – shares Max Barskih.
Anna Trincher – “Your Mom”
An ironic track about a situation familiar to many, when there are suddenly three in a relationship: her, him, and his mother! In the video, Olga Sumskaya played the role of a “mother-in-law with character”, and the singer’s fiancé was played by blogger Max Tkachov.
– For me, this song is a manifesto that every woman should be accepted as she is: shy, brazen, bright, in any state. They constantly want something from us, impose a lot of incomprehensible obligations and expectations. I want girls to turn on this song in the car and get that bold vibe, – says Anna Trincher.
Vitaliy Kozlovsky – “Beauty and Separation”
The Ukrainian version of the 2007 hit “Beauty-Separation” from the album of the same name. The wordplay “Beauty and Separation” was invented by producer Roman Dikhtyar, who had previously translated “Pinacolada” and “Shakespeare”.
– When I first performed “Beauty and Separation”, I didn’t understand at all that love could be unrequited, but life “gifted” me experience. Today, I know for sure that love is beauty! I am happy to see my son Oscar dancing to this song. By the way, today it’s his favorite! – shared the singer.
Klavdia Petrivna – EXIT
The singer presents her fourth mini-album, which includes four tracks. The ancient snake Ouroboros on the cover symbolizes the cyclical nature of life and the simple truth: every end is the beginning of something new. Four tracks – four different stages of life. From the desperate search for an “Exit” and the ardent flourishing of feelings in “Vatra” to cozy domestic life in “Akademicheskoe” and the inevitable arrival of “Old Age”. Claudia says she will not give interviews and asks to find all the answers in the songs.
Nikita Kiselev – “Bit Trembit”
While the cover of Stepan Giga’s song is still making waves in YouTube trends, the singer is releasing a new track. Even before its official release, it managed to become a hit on TikTok. Nikita was inspired by Hutsul motifs, and appeared in the video in the image of a groom. In childhood, the singer was involved in equestrian sports.
– For me, it was an unexpected but very warm return to childhood. I haven’t ridden a horse in a long time, but my body seemed to remember everything. This video has a lot of lightness, summer, self-irony, and exactly the mood that I wanted to convey in the song. I think we all really need such “hooks” for a good mood right now – things to cling to in order to feel joy, lightness, and exhale a little. I really want this song to become everyone’s personal soundtrack for this summer, – says Nikita Kiselev.
Anna Dobrydneva – “Get Up”
This is the Ukrainian version of the single “Get Up” by the group “Para Normalnyh”, in which Dobrydneva sang together with Ivan Dorn.
– This will again be the soundtrack to your best mornings. And you will want to wake up earlier. Like back then. So turn it on, get up, and move forward! – commented Anna.
Olena Mozgova – “Who Said”
This is a reinterpretation of the legendary track “Autumn Nocturne”, authored by the singer’s father, Mykola Mozgovy. The song received a new sound – light and elegantly sexual.
Inna Prystupa – “You Will Be Strong”
– I believe that my new song “You Will Be Strong” will resonate with many women, because it is the story of thousands of girls. My song is about inner strength, about inspiration for those who have just ended a relationship. Very bright meanings of the song’s story about a happy future! I say this boldly, because I have a personal example of a happy wife and mother of two children! Don’t be afraid, be strong and go towards your dreams, – shared Inna Prystupa about the story of the single.
Kateryna Buzhynska – “My Dear”
The singer calls this song an ode to a strong man. The main role in the clip was played by presenter Vlad Vysoky.
– The song “My Dear” for me is about true feelings, support, and people who stay close during the most important moments of life. I wanted to convey the warmth, tenderness, and gratitude to the man who is a support and inspiration, – shares Kateryna Buzhynska.
Viktor Pavlik and Vitaliy Lobach – “Berries”
The media has repeatedly written about the external resemblance of the artists and even called Lobach Pavlik’s illegitimate son. So the singers decided to hype on this story by releasing a duet. Pavlik’s wife and manager Kateryna Repyakhova starred in the clip about a love triangle.
– We saw all these comments about the resemblance and treated them with humor. But the best answer is music. I think we have a very sincere and atmospheric work, – noted the artist.
SKYLERR – “God, I’ve fallen in love”
SKYLERR was inspired to create the song by 5-year-old TikTok blogger Nicole Bratkova. It was her emotional phrase “God, I’ve fallen in love” that became the main inspiration for the track.
FAHOT (“TNMK”) — “I’ll Quit Everything”
Oleg Mykhailyuta from “TNMK” presents his solo work “I’ll Quit Everything”. This is a musical interpretation of the poem of the same name by Lina Kostenko. Fogot’s side project sounds in the soul-funk genre this time. The clip was shot by Viktor Skuratovsky in one take.
– It’s so cool when I find a poem that resonates with me, make a song out of it, and get permission directly from the master, from a modern classic. Lina Vasylivna, thank you, – the performer addressed the master of words.
