MARUV
Sleek, dark-edged dance-pop with a heavy emphasis on bass and breathy vocals. It is the sound of a high-fashion underground club where the lights never quite come up.

MARUV creates a sonic world that feels like a high-budget fashion film set in a subterranean nightclub. The music is defined by its impeccable polish, favoring deep, rubbery basslines and crisp electronic percussion that demands movement. It is dance music that doesn't just aim for the floor, but for a specific kind of late-night, high-stakes glamour.
What sets her apart is the vocal delivery. Eschewing the typical belting found in pop, she utilizes a signature breathy, almost whispered style that creates an intense sense of intimacy and mystery. This 'hush' contrasts sharply with the aggressive, maximalist production, creating a tension that feels both sophisticated and dangerous. The aesthetic is heavily influenced by cabaret and fetish-fashion, translated into a modern digital landscape.
Start with 'Drunk Groove' or 'Siren Song' to understand her grip on infectious, dark-pop hooks. These tracks showcase her ability to blend Eastern European melodic sensibilities with global house trends, resulting in something that feels both familiar and distinctly avant-garde in the pop sphere.
Anna Borysivna Korsun (Ukrainian: Анна Борисівна Корсун; née Popeliukh [Попелюх]; born 15 February 1991), known professionally as Maruv (stylized in all caps), is a Ukrainian singer. She used to be part of the band of the same name, the successor of the band The Pringlez, from February 2017 to March 2018. Later, Korsun gave an interview in which she explained that from then on she would be working on her own under the pseudonym.
