German Powerhouse Labels Public Possession and Running Back Team up to bring you a
nostalgic tribute to 80s Disco-Synth-Pop and Balkan Self-Pity.
In a blend of cultural nostalgia and contemporary resonance, be-friended artists
Krystal Klear and La Raf are set to release their first collaborative record titled
"Boli Boli" (It hurts, it hurts) this autumn. The record is a steamy homage to the
80s disco-synth-pop. La RafÆs vocals equipped with Krystal KlearÆs sound remind us of
the bittersweet memories of the bygone yet still beloved music-era from former
Yugoslavia.
The song came to life during a spontaneous creative outburst when Krystal and Raf
reunited in a studio in London last year. Singer La Raf, a Croatian native based in
Berlin, channeled the raw emotions of a not so recent break-up regret into the lyrics
of "Boli Boli." Infused with Balkan self-pity, the song delivers a very personal
experience of pain and regret, not as mere sorrow but as a confident, joyful
indulgence in one's own grief. This emotional depth finds a perfect counterpart in
Krystal KlearÆs talent for crafting melodies that evoke both happiness and
melancholia. Together, they have created a track that is as introspective as it is
danceable, offering its listeners a glimpse into a world where sadness is embraced
with a sense of pride and joy, capturing the cultural tapestry of the Balkan region.
