What a journey!

After two singles that got an amazing feedback, "LONGING" and "BOX OF CHOCOLATES", I am happy we can finally share with you the full PAUSE VOL.1 experience.

By the time of writing this "LONGING" is racking up to 50k streams and climbing steadily up! After an amazing support by a number of curators and international radios including Bulgarian National Radio, Soultracks.com (USA), El Rocanrosaurio (MX), Radio Krimi (France), Radio Nova 98.9 (Portugal, Porto), Urban Movement Radio (Australia), Amazing Radio (US), I am happy to see the classic soul sound they crafted is being spread around the world.

"BOX OF CHOCOLATES", on the other hand, offered listeners a more contemporary feel and that beautiful Sunday morning chill vibe. Hands down one of my favourite tunes on the record and a soul-touching story you can read here.

Today, however, you must experience the whole package. All 6 tracks offer a unique progression and blend of genres and eras. I wrote a message to Bobby and I told him the best way I can personally describe PAUSE VOL.1 is timeless music. One day, when I have kids of my own, that would be one of the first records I play to them. What a wonderful journey into the beautiful world of soul, jazz and r&b music. I am truly humbled to be able to be a tiny part of this journey and to have this awesome human being and talented musician on our label.

“The concept of the PAUSE series is to make space, so that different elements can shine brighter. You should apply it in life too. Make room for others. Lighting a second candle won’t take the firsts one’s brightness. It’ll just brighten your perspective.”

Stream the full PAUSE VOL.1 EP on all platforms here.

If you like what you're hearing, you can grab a PAUSE VOL.1 t-shirt or vinyl. See you soon, time for me yo head out and enjoy a beautiful evening with lots of the talented people behind this release in person!
