Vasil, the 2020 Macedonian hopeful, Vasil has released a brand new single ‘PriKazna’ along with its official music video.
Sticking to his conceptual style, aesthetic, and hidden messages, this time we see Vasil in an even more unique approach with style, movements, and body language, expressing his story as a self battle with the actual circumstances, capturing and addressing the present times we all live and face globally – which is exactly how the song starts: “Hey, what the heck is happening to me?
PriKazna has been composed by Vasil himself and penned by Tanja Brkovska. Davor Jordanovski has arranged the song.
The production team behind the video is Digital Box, with Jelmaz Dervishi as creative director. This single will be featured on VASIL’s upcoming album to be completed by the end of the year.
