Artistic imagery meets a fascinating dimension of sound
2019 sees the launch of the brand new experimental artists from Ukraine with their new release 'BeLoved'. The duo is comprised of singer/songwriter Nata Smirina and producer Ilya Misura.
Ilya: This track has been started while I was jamming in my studio. Sometimes I just play some improvisations on piano – it’s the easiest way to put down my emotions into music, because I’ve been playing piano since I was 4. The main piece of this song that you can hear at the beginning is just a short part of such an improvisation.
Nata is well-known as the vocalist for pop band Pur:Pur with which she has represented the country twice in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Nata: It’s an interesting experience. In Ukraine most of musicians who participate in this contest take it as a promo platform for their new tracks and have no interest in winning at all. Some of them even hope to lose! It’s like a huge underground television live festival where you can meet big Ukrainian stars or completely newborn projects.
