"Discoteque" is 1 Year Old 🖖

Wow! Time flies so fast! One year ago we released “Discoteque”. We remember being very nervous before showing the song to the world – would everything be alright, would the song be accepted and understood. Vaidotas even turned his phone off and stepped away from the internet just to save himself from a stream of possible comments. The song was different from “On Fire”. But we felt inside that it was a great tune with great power. And it was true! “Discoteque” beat multiple records in Lithuania and spread around the world! The music video enchanted people, taught new dance moves and introduced everyone to the new color of hope – yellow. We are grateful for your support and the journey together!

“On Fire“ Turns 2 Today! 🔥

2 years ago, on this day, we released “On Fire” and since that moment THE ROOP life had changed forever. We had never before witnessed such big attention and for the first time we felt that taste of real success. We cried, we laughed. Oh, happy days! Thank you all for believing in us!

Eurovision 2022 - Vaidotas in the Jury

Today is the first heat of the National Eurovision Selection. I - Vaidotas - was invited to be a member of the jury. At first I thought there was no need to go there, I just needed to stay a neutral observer. But I really care! Me, Mantas, and Robertas really care about who will represent Lithuania and how. So I decided to take part in the show. At the same time, I want to share some insights from THE ROOP. I believe they can help participants this year:

-Be brave! This is one of the most important things! Believe not only in what you sing. Be courageous to show your strengths, strangeness, sensitivity, undress not necessarily externally but internally.

-This song contest is not just a "song contest". The whole package is important - song, image, story, message and charisma. Fulfill each of these areas.

-Being different is ok! Don't look for standards.

-Not only perform the song, but also enjoy being on stage. Surely no one could force you, you wanted it by yourself, so it's time to feel happiness here!

-Do not read anonymous comments below your videos or articles. Even a single negative comment can confuse your thoughts. Focus on yourself and what you want to do next.

-Be grateful to your friends and loved ones who support you. This is the first and most important team of your success.

THE ROOP wishes you good luck!

THE ROOP reveal what they hid in their latest music video

With the release of “Ohmygodable” at the end of 2021, the band posed a riddle about the mysteries within the music video. People started guessing what artwork or symbols are visible and what it all means.
.
“We received a lot of guesses and questions, many observations were correct, however, plenty of unsolved subjects still remained,” – said band’s leader Vaidotas Valiukevičius.
.
Members of THE ROOP, along with the music video director Saulius Baradinskas and production designer Daumantas Levickas, decided to uncover all secrets, tell about the idea and show behind the scenes in a new video – “Making Of Ohmygodable”.
.
“In this video we’ll show the challenges we faced, the myths and world-famous works of art we used, we’ll tell where Buddha and Christ hide, what’s the name of this statue-like creature and what does she mean,” – intrigued Saulius Baradinskas.
.
“OK! I’ll tell you one more thing which was never spoken of before, and which was spotted only by several viewers. In the official music video, around 2:10 min., you can hear a fart. In the romantic scene the action is performed by the strange creature which brings my character from the state of deification to reality,” – laughs Vaidotas.
.
This scene shows how often unrealistically people present themselves in social media, like statues or mystical creatures, and others believe it. But when confronted live, people who came to believe this cannot accept the reality with all of its mundanity and simplicity.
.
THE ROOP invites you all to see the story of the making of “Ohmygodable” and then view the official music video anew.

OHMYGODABLE Tenderness

Somewhere, likely, there exists a form and shape of OHMYGODABLE tenderness. There should be a lot of light blue color with white clouds.
