The Ukraine national selection for the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest will include the popular singer TAYANNA and she presents the contest track Lelya.

Last year’s national selection frontrunner TAYANNA presents her song Lelya with which she will compete for the right to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon. The author and composer of the song was the singer herself and Vitaliy Telesyn who is the sound producer, who also brought his sound to several tracks from the album ‘Trimai mene’ (Keep me).

Contrary to the expectations of fans, who got used to hearing lyrics in TAYANNA music, her performance will combine positive, drive, dance and virtuoso vocals.

To quote “My song is a neo-retro, in a good sense. I like the pop-divas of 60’s and 70’s, they were strong, charismatic women. Europe got used to that the things are going in a wrong way in Ukraine. This time our country is ready to represent a bright, burning song. No matter what happens, singing and dancing make our life better. I think it’s a high time to show our strong spirit. By this performance I want to give an example to the Ukrainians: everything is possible if you believe in it and, despite the difficulties, move towards your goals”, – commented TAYANNA.

“TAYANNA is glad to participate in the national selection and has a lot to show. Last year TAYANNA was one step away from victory, but the country made it’s choice and we turned out to be far from the winning position. This time both TAYANNA and the viewers have got a second chance. I am very interested in who will represent our country”, – added Alan Badoev, singer’s producer.

TAYANNA will perform on 17 February during the second semi-final of the National selection running order number #4.
