X-R@Y - ‘’Come back to me’’

X-R@Y band, known for their unconventional sound explorations involving gadulka, is ready with a new song - "Come Back to Me". It is dedicated to the memory of summer emotions and the search for summer and love within and outside of us.

The nostalgic tone of the lyrics is complemented by the rich arrangement, in which we can catch some retro influences from the classic rock of the 1980s and the 1990s, yet refracted through a modern sound.

The vocals are full of emotion - deep, whispering, sometimes with hoarse notes, and the culmination comes at the end. The gudulka is present again. It enriches the sound and demonstrates its huge potential as a music instrument.

The music and lyrics are by Nikolay Dimitrov, the arrangement is the work of Veselin Kirev, Nikolay Dimitrov, Nikolay Nikolov, Marian Zhivkov and Simeon Germanov. The electric guitar also plays a significant role in the song. The idea for "Come Back to Me" was born about ten years ago, but is only now being realized, which is connected to the work on new recordings for the second album of X-R@Y.
