Norwegian artist Tooji, who represented his country at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest in Baku, Azerbaijan, has released his latest single: Say yeah.
Say yeah is an up-tempo dance-song, and following Tooji‘s earlier singles such as Father, it conveys a powerful message about discrimination, violence, (self-)acceptance and equality. The video of Say yeah is accompanied by a quote of American psychologist and founder of the Nonviolent Communication-technique, Marshall B. Rosenberg, who passed away on 7 February 2015:
All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people.
