Georgia: Circus Mircus released the Music Video for their song ”Lock Me In”
The music video of the band Circus Mircus with the title ”Lock Me In” for Eurovision 2022 in Turin was released today.
The Circus Mircus were selected internally by the Georgian broadcaster, GPB, to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest in Italy in May.
At the beginning of March, along with the song, the official music video was to be released. Due to the war in Ukraine, the band Circus Mircus considered that it was not the right time and decided to release only audio, using the black background instead of the official music video, in order to express their support for what they are facing now the Ukrainian people.
Emilia Sandkvist, a member of the band Sacha Jean Baptiste, is responsible for directing the Circus Mircus song in Turin.
