Vakarchuk admitted that he was inspired to create an English-language album by the Oscar victory of the film 20 Days in Mariupol.
The band Okean Elzy, led by frontman Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, released their first English-language song, Voices Are Rising.
The composition became the first song of OE’s first English-language album. The group has been preparing for this premiere for a long time. However, due to today’s massive missile attack, the group decided to abandon the high-profile presentation.
“Our new musical story. Voices Are Rising is the first song of our first album in English. It should have great lyrics and a story. But now we want you to just listen to the song and, above all, remember that the light always overcomes darkness. Our Ukrainian voices are raised thanks to those who every minute protect, restore, and bring their light! Our energy workers today receive maximum support,” said message.
Earlier it was reported that for the first time in two years, Ukrainian rock musician and multi-instrumentalist Oleg Skrypka released a new video for the song Nomad.
