After a two-year hiatus, the artist returned to her career and presented the song “Taxi”, which immediately became a hit on TikTok, received more than 1,300,000 organic views on YouTube, continues to gain activity and is played on top radio stations.
Along with the new single, the artist premiered a music video that shows all the charm and uniqueness of Kyiv. The video tells the story of a girl who came to conquer the capital and remained happy in the heart of Ukraine forever. In the video, Liya Li transformed into a tour guide and showed all the beauty and grandeur of the Ukrainian city.
The song “Kyiv” is a musical declaration of love for the city that is always waiting for you! A tender anthem to a city that is more than just a capital. A place where the heart beats louder, where memories smell like chestnuts, and every street is like a separate life story.
“My city of chestnuts – you are forever in my heart!” is a line that resonates with everyone who has ever dreamed of returning home.
“When it was really hard, I spent hours wandering the streets of Kyiv looking for answers to my questions. Everything was so complicated that I didn’t know how to go on living. Walking around the incredibly beautiful city, looking at the happy passers-by, I realized that I couldn’t live the way I had been living for the past few years, I had to make changes for my own good. Kyiv “gave me wings and I took off again.” Then I thought that someday I would release a song about this wonderful city, but it would be fun, danceable and about life. A few years later, I came to Andriy Ignatchenko’s studio (Iksiy Music) to record a completely different song and was shown “Kyiv”… I’m presenting a new song and it coincidentally happens that in May our city turns 1543,” the artist said.
“The song ”Kyiv” intertwines personal and collective, happiness and sadness, youth and eternity. It’s a song about returning to your native embrace, familiar landscapes, and an atmosphere that always welcomes you, even after a long journey.
The single “Kyiv” is already available for listening on all music platforms, and a room tour of Kyiv by Liya Li is already waiting on her official YouTube channel.
