The electro-folk group GO_A has another chance to represent the Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest this year in Rotterdam. Unfortunately, last year has been cancelled. Due to this fact the Ukrainian broadcaster has been generous and will let them having a second try. There were three songs to choose from. An expert jury has chosen the song “SHUM” or “Шумj”, which means noise.
The video clip looks a bit weird and dystopic, the group is wearing white protection suits and face masks in front of a foggy city, not very inviting though. There is a very interesting mix of electro, folkloristic elements the white singing of the lead singer Kateryna and a faster getting rhythm. At the end of the video clip, Kateryna gets rid of her mask, people are dancing, it seems that there is a yearning of the end of corona.
