“Superb, full of emotion, pure love! We realized how much we’d missed this, and that music has always been our first love – and it will stay in our hearts forever. The great thing about us is that we don’t tie this love to commercial gain – for us, it’s truly just the pure emotion, the pure love we have for music.”

With a nod to one of Antibiotika’s biggest hits, “What’s the Weather Inside Me”, and the long time they spent away from the Bulgarian music scene, the obvious question is: what did that time mean to them, and what does it mean now? Silvia answers:

“So what did that time mean…? I’d say it was more romantic, less materialistic. Nowadays, it feels like everything’s on a conveyor belt, following the same formula—almost everything sounds identical. The sounds used are supposedly ‘modern,’ and there’s less and less emphasis on live instruments… But every era has its own beauty, and we try to focus on the positive. For me, I liked the music back then more—it sounded more romantic, more genuine. Today, we have to adapt to new trends. With our new song, Na lyubov prilicha (“It Feels Like Love”), we tried to strike a balance: make it sound like us, keep the romance, but not fall behind on current trends. I hope we managed that without tipping too far either way. I truly believe that good music has no set time or place—we make it with all the love we can give to those who have supported us, who wanted us to come together and create something new, who have been waiting for us.”

Ani, Silvia, and Savina admit that they loved working together again. They say that whenever they feel inspired, full of positive energy and love, more new songs will follow. And those songs will likely revisit the timeless themes: love, time—and what it means inside each of us. Ani sums it up:
