Legends of the Ukrainian scene - singer JAMALA and the group SKY - released a joint composition " The emotional rock-pop hit is based on a story about people who do not stop living even when life tests their strength every day..
In the musical work, which is already available on the YouTube platform, the stars combined the signature fiery sound of the SKY group and the multifaceted vocals of JAMALA. Thanks to this, it was possible to create a rich mix of rock aesthetics and sensual soul.
Interestingly, for JAMALA the collaboration with the SKY group became the first full-fledged rock collaboration. As the winner of Eurovision 2016 said, when she heard the demo version of the track “Bozhevilni”, she immediately said to herself: “Oh, wow. What a great song,” and agreed to perform it without any doubts.
" Well, in the end, this song is about us. Especially now, when the whole world is looking at us and thinking: “How can they bear all this during the war We're probably a little crazy. But this is the same “madness” in the best sense of the word - it moves us no matter what. Despite everything, in order not just to survive, but to live. Live this life – even in the middle of war,” the artist shared.
But for the frontman of the SKY band Oleg Sobchuk, this musical work became a continuation of the theme that has accompanied the group’s work for many years - the strength of man not to give up.
Bozhevilny" Combining the explosive rock energy of SKY and the unique voice of JAMALA, we created a composition about freedom, indestructibility and people who continue to move forward in spite of everything. This is a song about that “madness” that gives us the strength not to stop. Let this energy be transmitted to everyone who hears it,” said the artist.
The video for the hit “Bozhevilni” was no less interesting.. In the video work, directed and cinematographed by Alexander Shvets, JAMALA and the SKY group play a musical battle in the call and response format, where each subsequent line sounds like a challenge, and the answers continue the dialogue of two voices that create a powerful story.
The artists also embodied a kind of confrontation during the recording of the composition, answering each other with each new line.
The track “Bozhevilni” managed to sink into the souls of listeners a few hours after its release:.
“I know I’ll have this on repeat in the coming days.”.
" It's driving, energetic, and JAMALA's voice gives this composition strength and energy"
\! A wonderful collaboration from your favorite artists"
" It's just an insane amount of energy.. The duet turned out just great! The song is just a blast. I'm delighted!
