Serbia - Hasta La Vista - Hurricane

New single version March 6
Trio Hurricane are the winners of Beovizija 2020 and would have represented Serbia with the song Hasta La Vista.
The song is written by Nemanja Antonić, Kosana Stojić and Sanja Vučić.
Hurricane will be back for the 2021 contest with their own Beovizija selection. 

Hasta La Vista was released as a digital single on February 7 but withdrawn in some digital stores.
The original song can still be found on the digital Beovizija 2020 album, only on Spotify though. (Thanks Daniel!)

A second version was made and can be heard in the official video (also see comments).
A third version was released as a digital single on March 6. Thanks Frank!

  1. i think their label wasn't the one who released the single and RTS weren't the ones who released a compilation album of Beovizija entries, probably it's just a random person who decided to do that

    checked the spectrums and those are just upconverted audios from YouTube with terrible audio quality

    it was released via TuneCore (one of the biggest music distributors) and RTS works with KVZ Music

    the publisher is RTS but the actual RTS usually uses PGP RTS (their music publishing group) and most of their releases have their logo on the artwork

    same applies to Andrija Jo's single release and this release of Lithuanian entry, it's clear, there is an intro from the music video on their channel (https://open.spotify.com/album/3yHHgrXTzkxwhddZ9YyrWz?si=KBQHu522TEucg2NaFQjM0w)

  2. The Serbian single appears to be released through Spinnup which is a is digital music distribution for the independent artist backed by Universal. I don’t know if somebody not affiliated with the band or RTS released it, but the track is available in most digital stores. (with a botched release image)
    I’ve seen the Beovizija album at Spotify only, that mentions RTS as the publisher.

  4. There's another version of "Hasta la vista" on Spotify. It's different than the first and the official video version.

  5. We now have two different English versions - the one used in the video mirrors the version used in the original Serbian version. The one released for example on Apple Music (and most likely other streaming services) uses the same arrangement as the third, most recent Serbian version available as a single (and on the official album).

  6. I don't know if someone is still reading those pages for Eurovision 2020, but I think they used a 4th version in Beovizija's semi-final and final. It's a bit different from the other 3 versions. Unfortunately it was never released.
