The winner of Eurovision, Israeli Netta Barzilai, known as Netta, has joined a number of artists filming their music videos in Kyiv.
Netta’s music video for her single “Bassa Sababa” has been published on Feb. 1 on YouTube.
The singer won the Eurovision Song Contest held in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2018. Netta, 26, gave an energetic performance with her song “Toy” and stood out from everyone else due to her extraordinary look and cartoonish singing manner.
And her new funky video shot in Kyiv is no less unusual.
The video for “Bassa Sababa” resembles an old video game where Netta plays one of its characters. Driving a quirky pink car, Netta chases her fiancé who left her at the altar. She eventually transforms into a pink rhinoceros, who “grew a thicker skin,” and fatally attacked the offender.
The video for “Bassa Sababa” depicts Kyiv’s Darnytskyi Bridge during the car chase, the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine and the neighborhoods located on Vernandskyi Boulevard.
Ukrainian service production company 23/32 Films assisted in the filming of the video.
The company earlier worked for such music videos as “Mantra” by British rock band Bring Me the Horizon, “Tout Va Bien” and “Basique” by French rapper Orelsan.
Earlier a music video for the song “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” by U.S. singer Miley Cyrus and British DJ Mark Ronson was shot in Kyiv. Released in November 2018, the video has reached over 60 million views.
