For all people who are struggling, I want to raise awareness and tell people to take more care of each other.

VOICES
Julie Antczak · Frederik Scharff · Maria Martine Jagd · Evan Kidd Bogart · Mattis Jakobsen · Turið Christiansen · Ole Brodersen Meyer · Søren Lausen Henriksen
There's so many voices
In my head
Talking loud
"Never good enough"
"Not worthy being loved"
Screaming out
Fighting just to feel right
Fading into dust
Gotta let it go
I'm violent on the inside
Fading into dust
Gotta let it go
Time out and time in
I feel I'm breaking
From these voices in my head
These voices in my head
Am I alive?
When I feel I'm drowning
From these voices in my head
These voices in my head
There's a lot of poison
In my head
Leaking out
"Who would look at you"
"Don't you wish that you
Were pretty too"
Fighting just to feel right
Fading into dust
Gotta let it go
I'm violent on the inside
Fading into dust
Gotta let it go
Time out and time in
I feel I'm breaking
From these voices in my head
These voices in my head
Am I alive?
When I feel I'm drowning
From these voices in my head
These voices in my head
From these voices in my head
From these voices in my head
From these voices in my head
From these voices in my head
I let these words
Into my mind
I hide from the pain
That tears me down
(From these voices in my head)
In my head
(These voices in my head)
In your head
(From these voices in my head)
Breaking down
(These voices in my head)
In your head
(From these voices in my head)
In my head
(These voices in my head)
In your head
(From these voices in my head)
Oh, no, no
(These voices in my head)
In your head
Oh, no, no
In my head
Voices in my head
These voices in my head

 | Ukraine is not alone on the battlefield... |
The time has finally come! After a long time of thinking and evaluating the submitted songs, a few of them were presented to a group of internally chosen juries all around Europe. 10 delegations (in alphabetical order: Azerbaijan, Belgium, Georgia Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Norway and Sweden) helped the Ukrainian delegation out and a suitable song for the competition has been chosen. Even if the first attempt to get the needed approvals failed (details below in a spoiler), the second song sent in is not hoped to be less successful, so proudly present, ЯАVЬ!
Elizaveta Valdemarovna Ivantsiv, a 38-year-old singer and songwriter born in  Uzhhorod, is more commonly known by her former stage name Yolka (cyrillic: Ёлка). As Yolka, she really gained much success with performing several charting songs, being a judge in quite a few casting shows and writing songs for other artists. In NVSC, she is quite known for participating a few times in the national selections series "Pivnichbachennya Natsionalnii Vidbir" (three times, for #6, #10 and #22), but never really getting to perform on the big Northvision stage for her birth country Ukraine (placing 4th, 7th and 9th in PNV respectively).
Since spring 2018, she started a side-project under her new stage name JAV' (cyrillic: ЯАVЬ). Even if the fans of Yolka immediately recognized her voice, she officially presented herself as JAV' only in January 2019. The reason for the creation of this side-project was to go off the path of typical, radio-friendly hits to a more experimental approach to "non-comfortable" music. In an interview, she revealed this:
"То, что пою Ёлкой, - это я, безусловно, я это очень сильно люблю. Но это не всё, что во мне есть! А всё, что во мне есть, я, будучи Ёлкой, не могу показывать, потому что аудитория на это очень странно реагирует. ЯАVЬ - тоже я, вот в чем дело! Это такая же ПОЛОВИНА меня, как и Ёлка!"
(Translation: "What I sing as Yolka, that's clearly me and I really love it. But that's not everything what's in me! And I can't show everything that is in me if I stay as Yolka, because the audience reacts strangely at it. JAV' is me as well, that's the point. It's also a HALF of me, like Yolka!")
One of these new sides of the new ЯАVЬ is presented in her entry that will be performed in the upcoming edition in Italy. The song "Odin v pole voin" (cyrillic: Один в поле воин) translates to "Alone on the battlefield". She talks about herself and her upcoming change of music style, telling about being always the one way, but now "bending her line" and "believing in people and dreams". The comparison with a warrior trying to find a way while being alone in the middle of a battlefield intensifies the urge to change herself, but she is assuring to everyone, even explicitely to her mom, that "as long as the truth lives, she will move towards the goal" of being the person she always imagined.
Listen below to the Ukrainian entry for the North Vision Song Contest #36, "Odin v pole voin", right now!

UKRAINE IN NVSC #36
"Odin v pole voin" (Alone on the battlefield)
JAV'
m/l: Elizaveta Valdemarovna Ivantsiv
timeslot: 2:30+ | | |
Rumours about the first failed attempt say the following:
The initial song planned to represent Ukraine was "Échale" by  Michelle Andrade, but it was rejected as it samples a  Croatian song of 1992 in terms of intrumentals. "I'm quite disappointed about "Échale" not being able to represent Ukraine, however I still have hope with JAV'", said the Ukrainian HoD. Nevertheless, the  bilingual version of "Échale" was presented to the audience. Feel free to watch the video!

 Kiara Jones wins MonacoStar! Thursday, 17 June • 10:35 After an exciting voting period in which 29 different sets of votes from participating NVSC countries were revealed, the winner of the first edition of MonacoStar has been revealed - with Kiara Jones coming out on top with a total of 334 points.
 Jones received the maximum 20 points from six of the international jurors - from Andorra, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Portugal and Switzerland - more than any of the other entries in the selection. Finishing behind Jones was Tshegue's "Muanapoto" in 2nd place with 313 points, and Rubin et le Paradoxe with "X Raisons" in 3rd with 282. You can see the full voting grid below:
  Kiara Jones is a singer, songwriter and composer from Avon, Île-de-France, known to wander through various genres ranging from jazz to electro-pop and from RnB to neo-soul. She first made her name in France as a participant on "The Voice", but since the show has maintained her artistic independence and released self-produced and personal music ever since.
Her song, "Never", is automatically in the grand final of the 36th edition of NVSC thanks to Genoux Vener who finished in 3rd place last edition. We wish her and everybody else the best of luck in Italy!

Solomun to represent  Bosnia&Herzegovina together with ÄTNA!
After a successful returning edition of BH Vision, in which 32 international juries (including Rest of the World, which was represented by 6 sets of votes) have casted their votes, the winner has officially been decided! With a total of 334 points, the winning act of the national selection is new to the musical scene of BH Vision and is represented by the international collaboration between the Bosnian-native DJ Solomun and the electronic duo  ÄTNA, with their song Tuk Tuk, which will be the official entry of Bosnia&Herzegovina in North Vision Song Contest #36.   • Mladen Solomun, born 27 December 1975, better known under his stage name Solomun, is a Bosnian DJ, born in Travnik, who later moved to Germany. He is a four-time DJ awards winner for Best Producer, Best DJ and Best Melodic House DJ and he is known for performing in many famous electronic music festivals.• ÄTNA is a German electronic duo created in Dresden, composed of Inéz Schaefer (vocals, keyboard, synthesizer) and Demian Kappenstein (drums, percussion, sounds), who met at Dresden University of Music. They started making songs in 2016, releasing their first EP in 2017 (Ätna).
 • Tuk Tuk is an electro-pop anthem and one of the songs from Solomun's album Nobody Is Not Loved. The album presents music as a metaphysical force that can unite all people and that with its divine power has the capacity to love everyone. That’s why everyone is loved, in some way. We’ve all heard the expression ‘music is the answer’, but Solomun takes that statement to another level by creating an album that materializes his feelings for music and giving voice to the personalization of this art. Intimate in style, this album stands out not only for its genre malleability but also for the plurality of collaborations the producer has established. He not only chose unexpected artists but also gave voice to young talents in a list that includes Jamie Foxx, Planningtorock, Zoot Woman, Anne Clark, Isolation Berlin, Tom Smith and ÄTNA. The German duo, ÄTNA, exudes creativity, highlighting the seamless blend of art-pop with indie and progressive electronic music.
M/L: Mladen Solomun, Inéz Schaefer, Andrew Douglas Tyler, Jakob Grunert, Moritz Friedrich
