“Since you” – Preslava Peycheva’s spring revelation

Photo: still frame

Preslava Peycheva has been recording song after song, the latest of them being her single “Since you”, with a pronounced club sounding. Preslava also wrote the lyrics to the song, and is co-author of the music, together with Yasen Velchev, her partner in music and in life.

“Many colleagues like to kid us that our family business is music. We create songs together, we have done songs for other singers and that too has made me happy,” Preslava Peycheva says in an interview for the BNR, and adds that Yasen Velchev is in a “great creative tandem” with another renowned musician - Stoyan Yankulov- Stundji. “He is working on so many musical projects – a multitalented musician, he is also involved in the arrangement of my new song for which I am extremely grateful. Quite a few years ago we were together in the band Te (They). There’s such a chemistry between them – Stoyan and Yasen – and they did such a great arrangement for “Since you”. Stundji contributede some subtle folklore elements, even ethno in the arrangement. They actually worked remotely on the arrangement, and when they heard what the other had done they said: How is it possible – your bit makes my own part complete!”

Yasen Velchev provides an African flute solo, and Stoyan Yankulov-Stundji adds percussion and drumboy, he also did the entire sound recording, and the mixing and mastering of the song.

In recent years, Preslava Peycheva has been thinking about releasing a solo album. The pandemic put a spoke in the wheels of this plan, but the idea of getting together new songs for an album is still on her agenda – there are songs that have not been recorded yet and will be heard for the first time in the album, she says. One of them may well be “Since you”.
