New music video from The Ulkerrs

Daniel Fokin has always viewed music as a world of endless possibilities and while working under the name The Ulkerrs, the composer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Gedera, Israel has built his artistic output around emotion and the belief that music has the power to tell stories beyond words. From a childhood spent exploring instruments and sounds to a career informed by composition, production and cinematic influences, Daniel’s journey reflects a lifelong dedication to creating music that leaves a lasting impression.

His relationship with music began at seven years old, when he started playing a wide variety of instruments and throwing himself into every musical opportunity available in his hometown. That early curiosity became the spark that led to an artistic adventure defined by exploration and Daniel’s appreciation for different genres has allowed him to develop a highly unique output where melody, emotion and storytelling exist at the centre of every composition.

Throughout his career, Daniel has been particularly inspired by the relationship between music and visual storytelling and this connection has led him to dedicate much of his creative work to writing and producing original soundtracks for animation and television, crafting compositions designed to enhance emotional moments and bring stories to life. Alongside his practical experience, Daniel has continued to develop his skills through professional education, completing music programmes and training through Berklee College of Music, MXM Courses and Musicube Academy.

First unveiling The Ulkerrs sound, he made an entrance last year with the debut single “Hold and Say,” which he followed up with singles two and three before releasing his debut full-length record Playing is Fun, which landed in November last year. Now, The Ulkerrs returns with “Love Me Crazy,” an uplifting and emotionally compelling song that revolves around one of life’s most complicated experiences, love and the choices required to sustain it.

Thematically, the track explores the challenges relationships can face and the strength that comes from choosing to move forward together. Through heartfelt lyrics and a cinematic feel, “Love Me Crazy” reflects on the difficult decisions couples encounter and the moments where understanding and commitment become essential. The song recognises that two people may not always see situations in the same way, but that connection can be strengthened through empathy, patience and a shared steadfast desire to overcome obstacles together.

Opened by muted, clean guitar notes and the taps of percussion, Daniel’s expressive vocals enter to spin bouncy melodic leads via restrained delivery above. Flowing with laid back groove, the track rolls with shuffling percussion and intricate instrumental plucks to form a slick acoustic rock jam brimming with thoughtful lyrics and gentle melodic writing, offering a mellow jam that’s catchy and conceptually poignant from start to finish. Dashed with delicate lead guitar flickers, and carried by the steady patter of drums, it’s a superb showcase of Daniel’s engaging songwriting talent and performance flair.

Paired with the single, the stop motion music video created by Wild Hazel Studios and directed by IRA ELSHANSKY brings the music alive on screen, featuring a moose couple on a road trip to the beach. It’s a playful and thoroughly enjoyable visual experience that offers an epic accompaniment for the music that’s sure to charm fans around the world. With “Love Me Crazy,” Daniel Fokin and The Ulkerrs continue to offer magical musical moments that are enduring, memorable and truly original all at once and we can’t wait to see what he’s got lined up for the rest of 2026 and beyond.
