Korsun was born in the Ukrainian city of Pavlohrad. In school Korsun studied music and dance. In 2014, she graduated in a non-musical subject from the Polytechnic Institute in Kharkiv. Despite this, Korsun participated and reached the final of the contest The Voice of the Country. Reboot, which was held in Ukraine. Korsun is married to Olexander Korsun. She met him while studying at the institute. Olexander was the PR manager of The Pringlez. The team included a drummer, guitarists, a songwriter, and also a photographer and sound engineer.
In 2015, the group represented Ukraine at the New Wave competition. In addition, one of their songs – Easy to Love – made it to the final of the Ukrainian selection for Eurovision 2016.
On 23 February 2019, Maruv won the final of Євробачення. Національний відбір; meaning Eurovision. National Selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Her win was marred by controversy about her concerts in Russia. The rights to her Eurovision song, "Siren Song", belong to the Russian record label Warner Music Russia and the label had organised her first ever solo concert to be held in Moscow at Izvestia Hall on 6 April 2019.[12] After it became clear that she would be performing in two concerts in Russia the following months, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Culture Vyacheslav Kyrylenko stated that artists who toured Russia or "did not recognise the territorial integrity of Ukraine" should not take part in Eurovision.
On 24 February the National Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA: PBC) offered Maruv a contract; one of the terms forbid her to hold concerts in Russia. Maruv saw no harm in performing in Russia claiming “performing concerts is my way of bringing peace,” later she confirmed she was willing to postpone her concerts. Maruv stated that the issue of not touring in Russia was not critical to her, and the major disagreement was about other conditions of the contract which she described as a cabal. She said that she is a tax-paying citizen of Ukraine and genuinely loves her country, however she is not ready to turn her participation in the contest into the "promo-action of Ukrainian politicians". "I am a musician, not the baseball bat on the political arena", she said.
The next day it was revealed that UA: PBC and Maruv were not able to reach an agreement on her participation in the contest. As a result of the controversy Ukraine withdrew from Eurovision 2019, which they had been tipped to win.
Looking for You
MARUV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like a star I shine bright for you
Where I can rest in his hands
And keep in staying hearts with him
He takes the time in highlands
Caress behind a pipe in for you
And watch the falling stars that
Feeling in this weakness and thrill
I am not burning like lighting you up
I am not having all your scars
All the dreams until world will be house
I've been waiting for you
I keep looking for you
I've been waiting for you
I keep looking for you
My shining world will try you
And then you keep the darkness from light
And all the things that you do
I'll stand by you and be by your side
You made me dreams that aren't true
I picture you in this bed so right
No other people like you
Can feel me or hold me so tight
I am the hottest old fire reach out
I am not burning like lighting you up
I am not having down your scars
All the dreams until world will be house
I've been waiting for you
I keep looking for you
I've been waiting for you
I keep looking for you
I keep looking for you
I keep looking for you

У этой девушки нет плохих песен, она не может делать что-то плохо, потому что она лучшая 👍
@user-jc4rm5ff9c
просто кайффффф, зашло с первых аккордов. Визуализация песен альбома просто шедевр. Кто видит одну чёрную комнату явно болен.
@rackozitsa
Очень интересное решение снять визуализацию альбома в одной обстановке. Есть целостность,и не мешает восприятию, плюс очень классный качественный альбом, love Maruv
@solncezar1156
А у меня наоборот ощущение что меня кинули, я люблю разные места в клипах и смотреть на одну локацию от клипа к клипу не так интересно в плане визуала.
@atowarondonbass7082
просто слушай
@user-kf7nb2jb4z
Справді! Нічого зайвого, чудова музика і прекрасна Maruv
@user-wo7ex1st7q
А меня мигающие лампочки раздражают, зрение напрягают
@user-xd1fv8pk6f
@Solncezar XX Чувак это не клипы,а презентация альбома.Много исполнителей просто ставят какую то обыкновенную фотку,а она прям постаралась и сделала видео ряд
@lilialien
Господи, как мне не хватало такой музыки! Спасибо, Марув 💜
@maximkarpenko128
Очень атмосферная мелодия. Самая любимая песня в этом альбоме. Марув - лучшая исполительница 21 века!
