LOBODA released an album of remakes for "Made in U" along with a music video
The "Made in U. Mixes” compilation includes 8 remakes of original tracks released in the album earlier this year, which is the TOP 20 most popular albums in Latvia. As well as a bonus mix of the recent hit "SPOGADY." Along with the album, the singer also released a music video for a new version of the hit "Hradus 100."
The global success of the "Made in U" album, which got even bigger during LOBODA's worldwide concert tour, inspired the artist to reinterpret the songs beloved by millions.
"Made in U. Mixes" is a danceable adaptation of the deep meanings embedded in the original album's tracks, including the lyrical ones. Sound producers and arrangers from Ukraine and Europe worked on the remakes under LOBODA's guidance. The album "Made in U. Mixes" is written in the best traditions of alternative dance music, featuring elements of deep house and live instruments.
Alongside the album, LOBODA also introduced a video for the remake version of one of the title tracks, "Hradus 100," directed by Indy Hait.
"Hradus 100" is a metaphor for life filled with extremity at every turn. Dancing and gliding as if on a razor's edge, LOBODA effortlessly escapes from a frantic stream of cars rushing at her at breakneck speeds. She seems to waltz on a massive highway, overcoming obstacles one after another as they burst into her open life.
"I am grateful to my fans worldwide for the inspiration. After the success of “Made in U”, I wanted to breathe new life into your favourite songs. No matter how hard it may be, I always say, “Dance like it's the last time”. I never give up, I believe in myself... and I always move forward. This is how every Ukrainian lives today— with faith in their heart, overcoming many difficulties... sometimes even stopping tanks," - LOBODA comments on the premieres.
The video was shot in Kyiv on one of the city's widest highways. Blocking the incredibly busy road for more than a few minutes was impossible, so the video was shot under extreme conditions and at supersonic speeds.
On March 24, 2023, LOBODA released the album "Made in U," which quickly topped the Ukrainian charts, staying there for nearly two months and entering the top 20 of the most streamed albums in many countries in Europe, Central and Western Asia. The singer confessed that she named the album "Made in U" to emphasize the importance of roots and homeland, which we can never find our wings without.
"Made in U. Mixes" is now available for streaming on all platforms, and the music video for the song "Hradus 100" - on LOBODA's official YouTube channel.
