Shaman's upcoming track titled "Interview" is set to drop officially.
**"Intervision-2025" Standing in the Shadows While Russia Hypes Up Its Music Competition
You've likely missed it, but almost everywhere in Russia, people are buzzing about "Intervision-2025" – an international music competition featuring artists from various countries, slated for September 20, 2025. Don't get us wrong; Eurovision-2025 came and went like a blink of an eye, but Intervision's exciting implications have got Russia drooling. This grand spectacle is being organized at the highest level with the Russian Government and Ministry of Foreign Affairs supporting it. And who represents the Motherland in this epic battle of tunes? None other than Yaroslav Dronov, fondly known as SHAMAN**.
Now, the question on everyone's lips: What song will SHAMAN belt out to earn Russia the title? Rumors painted a foggy picture until recently.
"We ain't got a bloody clue about the damn song yet," SHAMAN spilled the beans to KP.RU, throwing the audience into a pit of confusion. "We need to sift through those blasted competition rules: should we cook up a brand-new ditty untouched by ears or adhere to some sneaky requirements?" (In the "Let Them Talk" show, the creative director of "Intervision-2025", Andrei Razygraev, hinted that the composition must be crafted no later than the end of 2024 – Ed.).
Rumor has it that the "Anapa's beaches have never been cleaner!" While we're far from boasting pristine beaches, we're excited to hear SHAMAN's powerful rendition of his Intervision 2025 number at the "MUZ-TV" award ceremony.
"Get ready, for this is what all viewers have been yearning since the artist's participation in such a crucial event for our nation: SHAMAN's heart-pounding performance at the "MUZ-TV" Award will be a smashing introduction of the track carefully crafted for Intervision 2025," the music channel announced.
Unlike artists who blindly perform tried-and-true hits, SHAMAN has penned a track of his own, much like the work of a "notorious maestro." Despite the suspense, we won't know this famed genius's identity until SHAMAN flashes his Intervision "business card" – on June 7. Stay tuned for SHAMAN's fiery performance live on "MUZ-TV." Kickback at 16:00 Moscow time. In the "Let Them Talk" show, SHAMAN swore to scorch the stage with his unparalleled performance.
"Intervision-2025" will unfold in Moscow at the Live Arena – a rising star among venues with a capacity of 11,000 souls, nestled on the outskirts of the city near Skolkovo. The ticket prices remain a secret for now, but the budget of the show is known – a whopping 750 million rubles. The broadcast will be controlled by Channel One.
Apart from SHAMAN, musicians from the CIS, SCO, and BRICS countries will strut their stuff at this competition. The full roster includes Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran, Kazakhstan (trio NOMAD), China (in talks with Xi Jinping!!), Cuba, UAE, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and South Africa have confirmed their participation. Bolivia, Hungary, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Serbia, Slovakia, and Ethiopia may join the competition, but they're yet to submit their entries.
