Volodymyr Dantes
The Ukrainian singer has released a new single. It's a bright and sincere song about unconditional feelings. The track talks about daily choices and the desire to be together in small things: writing poems, kissing, just being together.
Sometimes you don't need to prove anything. You can just be there, write poems, sing, kiss for no reason. Because you love and that's enough,
– said Volodymyr Dantes.

KHAYAT
The musician presented a conceptual mini-album “Triptych”. This is a work of three songs, united by the theme of war. But this is not a chronicle of events, but rather an emotional state, the thoughts of a person who is a witness to the events. The album includes the tracks “Motive”, “Au” and “Hertsy”.
“These are my three inner states: fear, regret, and endurance. This is the reaction of the body, voice, and memory to a reality that cannot be lived rationally. “Triptych” is music not about war. It is music that arose because war exists,” shares KHAYAT.

Zlata Ognevich
The singer released an updated version of her single One Day, which conquered social networks after the final of the National Selection. The new arrangement of the track was created in the USA and Ukraine. It should be noted that the song was written by Mikhail Nekrasov many years ago.
One Day is a manifesto that each of us deserves our own big breakthrough, when self-belief conquers all doubts. We worked on the sound for a long time, because I dreamed of giving the song a deeper, more worldly sound,
– the artist shared.

Ann in Black
The singer presented a new song about a real woman. The main idea: a woman reveals herself next to a man only when she feels safe.
As an author, I want men to give their women space — for emotions, for weakness, for laughter, for tears, for freedom. To love them in all their manifestations — sparkling, semi-sweet, and even a little bitter,
– says the author

The Hardkiss
The band has presented a new Ukrainian-language single. This is the 4th song from the upcoming album, which will be released on June 11. The song tells the story of a love triangle inspired by the fairy tale “The Little Mermaid”. The image of the sea witch appears as a symbol of the antagonist.
“In the video for the song, we also wanted to convey the girl's life, loneliness, a kind of feeling “the day after the breakup,” the band members share.

MULENKO and Licht
The song is created in the atmosphere of melancholic soft rock about growing up that never goes away. It is a look at myself from the past – a dreamy schoolboy who learns to live through his first disappointments and losses. The track balances between nostalgia, poignancy and honesty.
