about
This is the first release of a Trilogy EP titled 'Heartbeat, Blood & Tears of Ukraine' in support of the people of Ukraine. As a label we were amazed, lost for words when presented with this powerful unique, inspiring and emotive EP, work that encompasses a Trilogy of songs, a large-scale collage, and a heart-wrenching video.
The artist felt compelled to capture some essence of the horrific suffering, hence the many authentic sounds of War, Jets, Helicopters, Bombs, Bullets, Sirens etc. These sounds are no mere backdrop, they are integral and nestle in with the music.’ ‘The Ukrainian Folk singers hauntingly powerful voices, admirably mirrors the tough, determined Ukrainian spirit. The vocals inspire and entertain in equal measure.’
LdashD's reason was that, during War, ordinary people try to maintain some form of normality, amongst the flood of tears there’s also occasional smiles or brief moments of happiness, it is this that compelled LdashD to write something uplifting for the courageous people of Ukraine, to maybe bring some small respite from the current mayhem and to bring some much-needed light-relief.'
I came across this quote from BBC Newsbeat, Viktoria Polchenko from Ukraine's Radio Promin states that music has the power to act, "Like a lifeline that helps us be strong and hold on". eat of Ukraine' forms part of a Trilogy EP in support of Ukraine.
