The first episode of Lithuania’s returning music show “Star Duets: A New Era” will feature actress Dovilė Kundrotaitė and singer Tadas Juodsnukis performing Hiperbolė’s “Sugrįžk.” Juodsnukis will also play the piano during the opening broadcast.
The pair chose the song because they regard Hiperbolė as a defining force in Lithuania’s music scene. “Hiperbolė are the masters and gods of our musical sky. It is an incredibly beautiful song,” they said.
Hiperbolė are the masters and gods of our musical sky. It is an incredibly beautiful song.
Their performance will draw strong applause and praise from the judges. Judge Liepa will tell Juodsnukis that his voice is “wow” and ask why audiences do not hear him more often. She will also praise Kundrotaitė’s voice and say she expects to enjoy watching the pair in the competition.
Tadas, your voice is wow. I wonder why we do not hear you more often. I want to hear you every day.
The scene was less smooth behind the curtain. After the performance, Kundrotaitė will reveal that she broke some equipment at the LNK studio. It will also emerge that she nearly suffered an injury while climbing onto the stage.
The premiere will include nine performances, along with judges’ praise and criticism and further secrets from the stage and backstage. It will air Sunday on LNK.
Dovilė, your voice is also wow. It will be very good to watch you in this project.
