The story started when Tsveti and Svetlio from Expose played their new song to a friend who has been living in the US for a long time. At that time they did not expect their old acquaintance George Tomov to like the rhythm and provocative lyrics so much that he would play their song to the sound engineer of the company in which he works. The story goes on to the point when the Bulgarian song became part of the music list of a showroom of a popular fashion brand.
Dancer Kevin Stea, who gained world fame after his collaboration with Madonna in her video "Vogue", also became a fan of the Bulgarians. Kevin, who is a friend of George Tomov liked the style of Tsveti and Svetlio in the video to the song "The Power of Love".
"We are surprised, happy and inspired that our work has been appreciated," Tsvetelina Marinova from Expose says.
"The song was born naturally, provoked by the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic," Tsveti says. “At that time we were all extremely shocked. Very quickly our thinking started to change. And at one point a muse emerged, a provocation, as a result of which I began to pour all my emotions on a piece of paper. I don't know why, but the lyrics came to me in English. I trusted my intuition. I immediately called Svetlio and gave him the lyrics. About an hour later, he called me and said that the music was ready. So, the song was born very quickly and naturally. George Tomov - the man who helped us, said that we are very interesting as artists. Even before this song was born, he told us that we could succeed with creativity in English.
That's why ‘The Power of Love’ reached him very quickly, and then it was distributed. We released the song less than a month ago and the reviews are great. The credit also goes to George Tomov, who used to work with Bulgarian artists while he was still in Bulgaria and we were some of them. After he went to the United States he continued to support us. And now he has made our song sound in the showroom of a popular fashion brand. In this way, the song reached Madonna's dancer from cult video ‘Vogue’, Kevin Stea, who reacted very positively to our work."
Both the audio and video to the song "The Power of Love" were recorded during the emergency situation over Covid-19, Tsveti explains and adds:
What became clear during the pandemic was that we are all very closely connected and dependent on each other. For example, when artists stopped their work, it affected many people - both artists and producers, as well as everyone in the chain, including theaters and studios. Let's wish to be healthy, so we can hold hands and not experience such terrible things again."
