Talking about the latest single Maria Explains “I think all of us have once felt that crazy, irresistible need to get into a car, or on a train, and just go, Balkan Night’ was born out of trips across the Balkans, backpacking without a fixed destination, and out of fleeting encounters along the way. In the song, we try to capture the Southern wind, and scents of coffee and jasmine”.

Going on to explain the accompanying video Maria comments: “We wanted to recreate the mood of a road trip on a warm night, in which the beauty of Balkan landscapes paints an intriguing background, despite our main character’s dilemmas”.
