Sysuev
Sysuev

The versatile and talented Ukrainian singer, Sysuev, has just released his brand new single and video clip for the song Dark Side Of Your Heart.

The video shows the serious side of Sysuev to reflect the mood of the song and lyrics. It is based on a story about a struggle a person has with their dark side. Most people have a secret and hidden dark side to them, which is mainly not visible to anybody else, only to the hidden feelings of themselves. The video captures the unfortunate mood of a person who has suffered a bitter loss of something or someone in their lives.

Dark Side Of Your Heart is taken from the ‘MmrZ’ EP that Sysuev released in 2017. It is available to purchase or stream via most digital platforms such as Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, etc.

Not only is Anna Trincher a very talented young singer. She has now added acting to her repertoire. Anna will be taking part in a highly anticipated school drama on 1+1 channel in Ukraine starting in January 2018 called ‘Shkola’.

On the 1+1 website it says this about the show. “Successful business lady Katya learns that her daughter has tried to commit suicide.  “As it turns out, not the first time. In order to be closer to her daughter and to understand what the children really are doing at school, she begins to work as a teacher of economics. The young mother had no idea what secrets hide behind the walls of the ordinary Ukrainian school. At the same time, a new English teacher, a former lawyer and son of director Alex, comes to the educational institution. He has a bride who lives in the United States, but suddenly a spark flashed between him and Catherine. However, skeletons of the past still make themselves known and do not let our heroes go.”

Anna represented Ukraine at the 2015 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Pochny z sebe and she has since gone on to release much respected songs and videos such as Ne boysia, Want To Ask and SOS and Love. She is also popular Vlogger when she has spare time.
