World Government release video for “(Hardly) Lucky”

World Government are a duet originally from Belarus, but who decided to flee their native homeland due to some unanticipated and untoward occurrences during the country’s political elections many years ago. Their namesake series of releases under the “Lucky” banner was never originally intended to be a single at all, but the Belarusian duo were convinced by friends to save footage from one of the demonstrations for a music video.

An extremely sad and depressing piece featuring horrifying footage of police brutality was regarded as “touching to the tears” by the people at the time. Regrettably, the song went on to be factually correct, the rally was suppressed and, two years later, in light of the present events in the neighbouring Ukraine, the country has been portrayed as a villain.

Further to the initial attempts of World Government to release the Lucky series, there was a huge demand from people enquiring as to whether the song was accessible on mainstream music platforms. The duet subsequently decided to revamp the planning for the album’s pre-promotion and start over with Lucky, given the interest that it had generated in its fans and audiences.

Written and produced by the band, and mixed and mastered at True Peak Audio by Simon Hayworth and Bill Sellar, “(Hardly) Lucky” is the 4th version in the band’s namesake series of their Lucky multiverse, and is finally where it needs to be: available to its passionate following.

Thoroughly finished and better than ever, this polished and politically prescient song delivers a powerful musical piece that is driven by thunderous drums that are as powerful as the message it wants to send to those that have yearned to hear it for quite some time.
