Icelandic band Hatari are back with a new single

Not even a week has passed from the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest final and Hatari are back in the music scene.

As one might remember, Hatari caused controversy from the moment "Hatrið mun sigra" was released in the Icelandic national final, up to the very last moment of the 2019 season. Their latest antics have caused the Icelandic Broadcaster to be fined due to the band holding Palestinian flags during the voting process.

After just a few hours from the crowning of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 winner, the band uploaded the Palestinian flag on their Instagram while dropping hints about their new single. Today their new single accompanied by a music video has been released.

The song goes by the name "KLEFI / SAMED" and features the Palestinian artist Bashar Murad. As one might notice, the band use the same outfits as shown during their Eurovision performances and kept to the same music genre.
