Aistè and Rokas Yan Premiere Unexpected Song and Music Video: Will Lithuania Sing a New Hit?

Lithuanian artists Aistè and Rokas Yan have unveiled their new collaborative song and music video, "Šauksiu tavo vardą" (I Will Call Your Name). The track delves into the profound feeling of love that transcends spoken words, a sentiment Aistè hopes listeners will recognize. "People who have been touched by the power of unrestrained love at least once will immediately recognize its sound," the singer stated. She praised Rokas Yan's creative approach, calling him a "wonderful songwriter, full of striking creative solutions and incredibly stylish."

People who have been touched by the power of unrestrained love at least once will immediately recognize its sound. I hope people will enjoy listening to this song as much as I enjoyed writing it with Rokas.

The accompanying music video transports viewers to an almost mythical realm: a magical summer night in a forest where two individuals are bound by deep emotions but unable to make eye contact. Rokas Yan envisioned the video being filmed on the shortest night of the year, aiming to create a distinct world and atmosphere. He hinted at a surprise ending that adds depth and meaning to the entire piece. "From the very first demo version, I saw a picture in my head that we simply had to film the video on the shortest night of the year – tied to a tree," he explained.

He is a wonderful songwriter, full of striking creative solutions and incredibly stylish. That's why the video turned out to be very unexpected.

Their collaboration was described as natural and organic. Rokas Yan values working with artists who possess a clear creative identity, noting that he and Aistè found a common language effortlessly. "I felt that our voices and energies would merge organically in this song," he said. Filming the video in the forest from night until dawn presented a challenge for the creative team, especially with concerts scheduled for the following morning. Aistè humorously recounted shouting from exhaustion at 4 a.m., which ironically echoed a line from the song's chorus: "It will echo through valleys and forests when all night, I shout loudly, your name." She added, "It turns out, it really echoes in the forests."

From the very first demo version, I saw a picture in my head that we simply had to film the video on the shortest night of the year – tied to a tree. I wanted to create something that had its own world and atmosphere. At the end, we hid a surprise that gave the whole creation even more depth and meaning.

Rokas Yan is particularly eager to perform the song live, describing its energy as captivating from the very first second. "It has an energy that seems to carry itself forward – it grabs you from the first seconds and doesn't let go until the last note," he shared. Fans can catch the new track at Aistè's concert on July 10 at "Oldman Palanga" and at Rokas Yan's major summer concert on July 18 at the Palanga Concert Hall.

I value collaboration with artists who have a clear creative identity. With Aistè, we didn't need to search for common ground – it was already in the music. I felt that our voices and energies would merge organically in this song.
