The Ukrainian-born singer has battled against all the odds to achieve her dream of UK pop stardom
Ukrainian-born, LA / Tel Aviv / Moscow based singer Vicky pines after lost love on her powerful new single ‘Sweet Sadness’, out now.
‘Sweet Sadness’ is an emotional slow burner built around poignant piano chords and Vicky’s stunning, sensual vocals about parting with a loved one and hoping for reunion. Topped off with a sublime saxophone solo, this timeless and soul-stirring slice of melancholia from this rising pop sensation appeals to fans of Sia, Rihanna, and Lana Del Ray equally.
The track’s accompanying video, filmed during a challenging period, reflects Vicky’s strength in confronting her pain and sharing her story.
Vicky’s life is a testament to unwavering faith and determination. Born in Ukraine and raised in a modest Russian family, her journey to the grand stage is a narrative of perseverance and passion. From her early years, music was Vicky’s constant companion, a force that fueled her biggest dream – to become a singer and perform in English.
The turning point arrived when she was selected from 50,000 applicants for the biggest talent show in her country “Star Factory 4”, a music reality show akin to American Idol. Yet, Vicky yearned for more—a desire to sing in English and pursue a different musical path. A significant life change took her to Israel, driven by dreams and the prospect of a fresh start. Tragedy struck with the untimely death of her mother, thrusting her into a whirlwind of trauma and depression. Despite these challenges, the birth of her son and unwavering support from her husband catalyzed her return to the stage.
Meeting a French producer marked a new chapter, leading to Vicky recording her first English-language EP. The release of tracks like ‘Do It’, ‘Get High’, and ‘Dancin’ showcase a vibrant, danceable side of Vicky, while latest banger ‘Party’ exudes positive energy, promoting self-love in all forms; the video has over 500k views on Youtube and over 1 million streams on Spotify.
Vicky’s latest single continues this streak in style. In every note and every lyric, ‘Sweet Sadness’ is an anthem of courage, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of a woman who found solace, strength, and salvation in the world of music.
