Single: 'Girl In White'
Artist: NaviBand and Ryan O'reilly
Label: Crownstone Records
Digital only single release on Spotify, iTunes and other streaming and download sites worldwide.
NaviBand, of Belarus, announces the release of their long anticipated English version of their acclaimed protest song. 'Girl In White' can be heard not only as a protest to the brutality rising in the world, but as a beautiful expression of longing, hope, and steadfastness. To bring this song to a wider audience, songwriter and author, Ryan O'reilly worked with the band on the English lyrics.
A year ago, massive protests took place across Belarus only to be brutally crushed by the dictatorial regime. This sparked a thunderous reaction from artists across the country.
In solidarity with all in resistance to the oppressive Lukaschenko government, NaviBand bears witness to the women's protests, when girls and women of different ages came out in white with flowers in their hands in response to the violence of the authorities.
The repression continues, but the people are not giving up.
NaviBand has gained world attention since representing Belarus in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest. Not particularity political, they are known for beautiful and upbeat music that reaches into the hearts of their fans. Now, the band and O'Reilly have forged a strong and haunting ballad.
