A hot summer awaits Stefan Valdobrev and The Usual Suspects. On June 27, they are to start their national music tour from the town of Ruse. During the national tour, they are to present their new album "Udivitelni Vaprositelni." It contains 11 pieces with titles suggesting amazing questions.

According to Stefan Valdobrev, the first single "Zaedno Sami/Together Alone" paved the way for the album’s release, but the album itself starts with the second track - "Questions". As in the other songs, Stefan Valdobrev, who authored the music and the lyrics, presents the simplest things in life transformed into art. However, creating cheerful songs is not as easy as it seems, assures Stefan Valdobrev:

Stefan Valdobrev

"This process is very well thought out, very deliberate – to finally say something that seems complicated, but to find the simple words for it. The most difficult thing is to write a positive and bright song. It's very easy with minor chords – 90% of world music is exactly like that – contemplative, minor. Over the last 3-4 years, my state of mind has been the same as that of the entire world. I don't live in a rose-colored bubble – I see what's happening in the world. It affects me deeply, I get indignant, I get angry. But I know that right now my mission is to give the major, the positive chords. And I do it. And I put aside all the minor themes and messages. It is a very painful process. What happens to your body, your aura, what damage it does to your mind and psyche for this bright song to come out in the end and seem like it was written in ten minutes. For me, this is the ultimate achievement. I have been searching for it for many years and I think that I am finally achieving it at the cost of a few billion nerve cells."
