Viktoriya Petryk has released her brand new single and official video for Koldun’ya (Bewitched). The song has a haunting melody and a strong production. It showcases Viktoriya’s talent and crystal clear vocals. The video is very beautifully shot and Viktoriya looks like a model both very elegant and attractive.

Viktoriya appeared in the Ukrainian national selection in 2014 with Love Is Lord and in 2016 with Overload. She also represented Ukraine at the 2008 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with her song Matrosy.

You can purchase Koldun’ya at iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/koldun-a-single/id1088872729

Viktoria Petryk competed in the 2016 Ukrainian national selection on Saturday with her upbeat and catchy song Overload. Unfortunately, Viktoria did not make it to the final but Eurovision fans I am sure will like her song and it is ready made for the dancefloors. Viktoria gave a strong performance and has powerful vocals. Overload is composed by Ylva Persson and Linda Persson from Sweden, who produced the song with William Taylor.

Viktoria represented Ukraine at the 2008 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Matrosy (Sailors) and her younger sister, Anastasiya Petryk, won the 2012 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with her song, Nebo.

I am sure both Viktoria and Anastasiya both have big future in the music business.
