An all-star Bulgarian band and a Bulgarian star performer have come together to revive a song written nearly a quarter century ago. The D2 band and Vladimir Ampov aka Grafa recorded their song "How Beautiful You Are" which was released only a couple of days ago on D2's official YouTube channel. 


"How Beautiful Are You" appeared back in 2000 when it was included on the band's cult album "Ice Girl," but was never released as an official single.

Vladimir Ampov - Grafa says: "Once again life surprises me pleasantly. When I listened to the song on D2's first album, 'How Beautiful You Are' touched me with its deep emotion and beauty. I never imagined I would have the opportunity to sing it live at the band's 25th anniversary. It was both a pleasure and a challenge to do my own musical take on the song."
Mitko Karnev from D2 adds, "When Grafa told us that 'How Beautiful You Are' was his favourite, the invitation to perform it together on our anniversary concert came quite naturally. Vladi was brilliant in his performance."

This collaboration was not pre-planned. It was inspired by the excited reactions of the audience at the concert, who listened to the song with bated breath and then burst into applause. Then D2 and Grafa decided to breathe new life into it releasing it as a single and making a video to it.
