SINGLE Today, my latest single, "Za Teb" ("For You"), was released. I started working on this project at the end of 2017. For every music project that I release, I want to do something different from the previous ones. I was thinking about what I should go for this time and, as it was Autumn, I thought that ballad will fit my mood the best. In general, I find ballads very hard to make. Mostly because, for a ballad to be a good one, it has to be able to "touch" the listener. This means writing a good melody and good lyrics. The vocals also matter and, especially for new singers, it might be hard to recreate emotions with voice.
The song is about finding real love. The person you know you are going to match with but have not found yet. I discussed the initial idea with the lyricist Marieta Angelova, who is one of the biggest professionals in the area in Bulgaria. She liked it and agreed on co-writing the lyrics. For the arrangement and the recordings, I worked with Martin Biolchev. He has been supporting me since the beginning of my music production endeavour, back in 2013. I really hope that you will like the song as much as I do.
PLAYLIST Along with the single, there is a new playlist which is with the same name. It includes 16 ballads — my favourite ones from 2015 until now. This is the fourth such playlist, after "Edno" (released in December 2013), "Vsichko Se Vrashta" (released in December 2014) and "Nevazmozhno Shtastie" (released in December 2016).
