Sabina Babayeva, Azerbaijani entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, has released two brand new versions of soulful ballad When the Music Dies: a stripped acoustic version and a long-waited version in her native Azerbaijani language.

The acoustic version presents a perfect vibe of unpredictable and open-hearted flamenco, bringing colorful Sabina’s voice into a new shape and giving her entry song a new face.
When the Music Dies in acoustic version consists of two live guitars that create amazing atmosphere of intimacy and fragileness.

"It’s great in it simplicity, music speaks for itself and I love every sound of the unplugged version. It’s powerful and helps to uncover the main thing in our lives - the love," says Sabina.

At the same time Sabina has worked on Azerbaijani version for When the Music Dies called "Gel" (Come Back). She wanted to make it from the moment she heard the song, to translate the fire of love and ice of rejection into her native language.

"When the Music Dies had overwhelmed me. It’s like sadness, joy, faith, hope are united in one deep but gentle song. And this hope never dies, it makes us live and believe. I’ve aimed to bring every bit of it in Azerbaijani version. And I hope that I’ve done my best," – says Teymur Mamedov, the author of Azerbaijani lyrics.

Sabina did her best to make When the Music Dies speak to each European heart in English and now her native language Azerbaijani, because, according to the singer: "true love and music got no borders".

"Sabina is amazing. She knows what she wants and nothing can stop her. There is an incredible road before her," – added Mamedov about his experience working with Sabina.
Following the acoustic and Azerbaijani versions Sabina Babayeva promises to release jazz version within next couple of weeks.
