Bobby Ivanchev- ''Izvayani''

Borislav (Bobby) Ivanchev is a musician subject to the magic of radio. He is known as part of Duet Avenue and now his first original single "Izvayani" successfully travels the airwaves, garnering approval from listeners. "This song is a message", says Bobby in an interview for BNR- Stara Zagora.

The musician, who is born in August, says that the rainy reality of the current month of May depresses him. However, the good emotion of a captured moment can transport him into eternity, where he has complete freedom to write music and arrange words in his own way. "I want to do things as I feel them", emphasizes Ivanchev, who, alongside composing songs, produces theatrical performances, engages in digital distribution and has midnight conversations with listeners of the BNR's Horizont channel.

The song "Izvayani" was recorded at the end of 2023. The melody is born easily, but the lyrics prove to be a stumbling block. However, the music comes to the rescue once again:


"When I started humming the chorus, I was thinking about how one follows one’s dreams, and i suggested that we break the path to them into small tasks", Bobby says. – And thus hopes are born that we will overcome the respective intermediate obstacles on the way to the dream. In that sense, I got to thinking that hopes are derivatives of dreams. Hence, the line "hopes are sculpted from our dreams" was born, and I already knew what I wanted to talk about in the lyrics. We should ask ourselves very important questions – why, can I, will I have the strength or not, am I worthy, will I harm people? When we answer them, it makes us better people."

Bobby Ivanchev authored the music and arrangement of the piece. He wrote the lyrics together with Rosen Kokusharov.
