The timing of Vera Jonas’s new music video was no coincidence. According to the creators, there was a great need to relieve tension during the Hungarian elections. Borzongásaim (My Goosebumps) helps to do that: everything explodes and we can see all this in slow motion.

She has been known so far only for her English songs, but now the first Hungarian song, Borzongásaim of singer-songwriter Vera Jonas has been released to which extravagant director Miki357 put together the concept and produced the music video. In a very colorful, slow motion video everything explodes, but gets reassembled and whole again.  On the set, the staff hid behind whatever they could find to avoid the explosions carried out by a professional demolition expert.

“The song was born from my own experience of things falling into their places in my life. Be it  finding my apartment, a fulfilled love, or even the moment when I tasted the finest coffee. With lyricist György Hegyi we had a tough time coming up with the right phrase, but finally found the word exactly describing the experience: as in the end I was having goosebumps in all these moments, in a very good sense” – said Vera about the song.

Vera composed the music with Krisztián Vranik „Krizso”, who is also active again in his solo career. Bence Bécsy and Márton Fenyvesi participated in the recordings.

Vera Jonas Experiment had a successful year in 2017, winning awards, touring in Hungary and showing themselves to international audiences around the world. In January, the band travelled to Groningen, the Netherlands to play three shows at Eurosonic Noorderslag. One of the shows were recorded by legendary German TV-show Rockpalast. On their way back to Hungary, they stopped in Belgium for an extra show.

While continuously touring in Hungary, being voted in the final of Hungary’s greatest alternative talent show organized by Sziget Festival, the Experiment also had time to tour in Romania in March, and then played at Fingers Up! Festival in the Czech Republic. There was no stop during the festival season, meaning 35 shows in three months, including Sziget and VOLT festivals.

Vera participated in Hungary’s Outbreakers’ Lab in early September, a freshly launched camp to mentor upcoming talents, then was invited to a songwriter camp in Berlin in December.

Vera Jonas and her band travelled to South Korea in September to showcase at Zandari Festa, Seoul. According to plans, an extensive Asia tour follows in the fall of 2018. In the fall, the band returned to Belgium and played a show in Germany too. In November 2018, the band returns to Europe for a longer tour.
