Ukrainian pop: Svitlana Loboda - Down With Love (К Чёрту Любовь)

Eastern european rock often is rather sexual which can become a bit tedious when it done on routine, and even though I believe Svitlana could go easy on the lip-expansion, the video "Down With Love" does a great number of combining sexual tension with violence, making the borderline between sex not as clear as it normally is. As a fantasy it is surprisingly sublime and reminds me of Anna Sedokova's Between Us and "Heart In Bandages" in that the video creatively evolves inside its discourse.
