Maxim Fadeev is a successful Russian songwriter and music producer. He wrote this song for another Russian artist called EMIN and eventually they turned it into a duet. EMIN was born in Azerbaijan and this song is devoted to this country. Nevertheless, musically it’s a Russian song with Russian lyrics. This type of chord progression is quite common for Russian music. The only “oriental flavor” here is an instrument called “duduk” which is used to play a solo.

The video was released just a few days ago and I was impressed how beautifully they pictured rather simple scenes. I thought that you might want to have a look as well.
