"Burnout" – a fresh cocktail of pop, country, blues and... a pinch of jazz

It's just the beginning of the working week and we already feel overtired, burnt out in our work... So Grafa's song "Burnout" is just for us! Sooner or later, everyone can recognize themselves in the character from "Burnout" and the need to slow down.

This term has entered our everyday life and is being heard more and more often. Vladimir Ampov – Grafa uses it as the title of his latest song, which ranks alongside some of his joke-themed hits. He wrote the music himself, the lyrics - together with Yordan Zheche, and he worked on the arrangement with Zhivko Petrov, whose recognizable piano elegantly comes in shortly before the end of the song. Besides that pinch of jazz, "Burnout" brings us a fresh cocktail of pop, country and blues.

Grafa says that the idea for the song came from the friendship and support of the people in the neighborhood, their crafts and businesses, from the warm and relaxed atmosphere of old Sofia. The serious topic of "Burnout" and stress is presented radiantly and with a smile, and the solution is to live as a community and in understanding.
