MARUV
Sleek, dark-edged dance-pop with a heavy emphasis on bass and breathy vocals. It is the sound of a high-fashion underground club where the lights never quite come up.

MARUV, the project of Ukrainian artist Anna Korsun, represents a pivotal shift in Eastern European pop toward a more provocative, electronic-focused identity. Emerging from the band The Pringlez, Korsun rebranded as MARUV in 2017, quickly achieving massive success with 'Drunk Groove.'
Her sound identity is built on a foundation of deep house and electropop, characterized by 'slap bass' synth textures and a distinctive vocal technique that prioritizes texture and breath over traditional power. Culturally, she became a figure of significant controversy following her 2019 Eurovision National Selection win, which highlighted the complex geopolitical tensions between Ukraine and Russia. Despite this, her influence on the 'Slavic Pop' scene is undeniable, pushing the genre toward a darker, more theatrical, and production-heavy aesthetic. Critically, she is praised for her visual-sonic cohesion, treating her music videos and stage performances as inseparable from the audio. Her work bridges the gap between mainstream pop accessibility and the edgy, minimalist textures of underground club music.
