Korolova and Julia Sanina have released the melodic techno track Higher Calling as part of their new music collaboration. This is Julia Sanina's first full-fledged joint project with the DJ. Work on the track took place in a studio in Berlin, where a team of artists worked together to create lyrics, melodies, and the overall atmosphere of the composition. The process also involved German music producer Rokston, who is actively gaining popularity in the European electronic scene.

‘The idea for the collaboration was born a year ago,’ says Yulia Sanina, ’We met Korolova, immediately felt a positive vibe from each other and decided that Ukrainian artists should do something really cool for the international electronic scene together.
We were looking for an opportunity to cross paths somewhere in the world between Korolova's and The Hardkiss' tours to write this track together. We managed to do it in Berlin. We shot the video for the song later in Warsaw.
It was a very interesting experience for me. The rules of the electronic scene are radically different from those of rock music. But we received very good feedback. Olya has already played Higher Calling at the top venues in the world, so I think we really made a strong track.’
The video for Higher Calling was directed by Val Bebko. The clip is designed in a minimalist style, which emphasises the depth and atmospheric sound of the track. The visual focus is on the two artists - bright, emotional, real, who live every note and are completely immersed in the music.
