Coming full circle after her series of single releases with Freshly Squeezed, we are pleased to drop the gorgeous video for the title track of SONIA ELISHEVA's debut album BLACK SEA. The album blends her Eastern European roots with jazz and electro swing influences, creating a unique and highly personal LP. By the time you watch this video the album BLACK SEA will be out here: idol-io.ffm.to/blacksea/spotify
Pulling together the cultural strands from half-remembered gypsy melodies & adopted pop sensibilities, her songs explore themes of displacement, memory, home & identity, filtered through a London street patter with trademark humour & irreverence. It's one of those full albums that requires listening from start to finish to really appreciate!

LYRICS:
Раз, два три четыре пять
Вышел зайчик пагулять
Hummingbird in my head
Till I'm dead
You'll never get me
Cos I was born free
Made in the Black Sea
You'll never get me
Cos I was born free
Made in the Black Sea
Papa, I promise
No fight in the forest
Tallinn to Odessa
No way I'll be prisoner
Умирает зайчик мой
Прмвезли его домой
Pif-paf
Oy-oy-oy
Умирает зайчик мой
Прмвезли его домой
Pif-paf
Oy-oy-oy
You'll never get me
Cos I was born free
Made in the Black Sea
You'll never get me
Cos I was born free
Made in the Black Sea
Papa, I promise
No fight in the forest
Tallinn to Odessa
No way I'll be prisoner
Умирает зайчик мой
Прмвезли его домой
Pif-paf
Oy-oy-oy
Умирает зайчик мой
Прмвезли его домой
Pif-paf
Oy-oy-oy
