Ukraine - Go_A - Shum

5 - 366 pts / 2 - 267 pts in semi 1
Ukraine: Go_A, electronic folk band, continued their Eurovision adventure in 2021.


Go_A released a new "techno" song ШУМ (Shum, Noise) (Youtube) which at first was not intended for Eurovision but after many positive reactions, a lot of debate and some major melody changes it actually became the Eurovision entry for Ukraine. And it paid off.

The DJ NANA remix
A new version was made for Eurovision, which was released on March 10.
The new version differs a lot from the original single but changes had to be made because the original borrowed heavly from the tradional song (and dance)  A V Nashoho Shuma (А в нашого шума, And in our noise, clip).
The new version solves that problem so not too much drama from Ukraine this year. 
Bandmembers Taras Shevchenko and Kateryna Pavlenko are now credited with writing the song.
A radio edit of the original version was released on April 2.
And if that's not enough a new remix by DJ Nana was released on May 7.
The Obsqr remix was released on July 27.
The Suvo remix has a release date in June but I'm pretty sure it wasn't there at that time.
On September 24 another remix was released: The Billx remix is the longest one with a running time of 4 mins 24 sec.

The original song, radio edit, new version and instrumental are released through most digital stores.


Go_A (Гоу_Ей) are Taras Shevchenko, Kateryna Pavlenko, Igor Didenchuk and Ivan Grigoryak.
