Цвет настроения чёрный (feat. Филипп Киркоров)

The track was a strategic "remake" and stylistic pivot from Kirkorov's earlier 2018 viral hit, (Mood Color Blue). While the original was a synth-pop track, "Black" reimagined the theme through a darker rap lens, aligning with the global dominance of hip-hop at the time.

: The premiere was accompanied by a nearly 8-minute humorous music video that parodied the music industry and Kirkorov’s "transformation" into a rapper.
