A new track by Kyiv-based electronic music producer Uliana Avteniuk (YUVI) has been released via Ukrainian label POTOP. ‘Tsiom’ is about love, friendzone, the complexity of choice and curbing codependency
The track tells the story of the unbalanced coexistence of beloved souls.
‘It’s a quiet song about untold feelings that explodes into a plangent ballad’, the song’s description reads.
YUVI explained that she now wants to make music in a ‘refined and simple way’. She wants to ‘make people dance or feel sad, but without losing her own identity and sound’.
