Stars Ani Lorak (Eurovision 2008 runner-up) and Emin (Eurovision 2012 interval act) continue their successful collaboration, having released their latest joint venture Prostytʹsya.

Prostytʹsya (Sorry or Forgive me) is the latest collaboration of Ukrainian artist Ani Lorak and popular Azerbaijani singer, Emin. The artists have worked together before, their duets becoming big hits in their respective home countries, and Russia.

Prostytʹsya was written by well-known Russian composer, lyricist and producer Maxim “Max” Fadeev, known for his work with internationally successful  girl band Serebro (Eurovision 2007, Song #1, 3rd place). The accompanying video was directed by acclaimed movie director Alan Badoev.

About the song, Emin says:

This is a fabulous, beautiful song written by Max. Emotionally it is very strong, despite the fact that it is calm and measured in itself. When we recorded it in the studio, there was a feeling of some kind of magic, the music touched the heart.

Ani Lorak adds:

Such situations occur in everyone’s life, I think, so they touch the heart so much. Many thanks to Maxim, and especially to our admirers and like-minded people, whose reactions and comments inspired us to create such an unusual video.

Prostytʹsya is also available on iTunes and Google Play.
