Vyara Pantaleeva presents the song "Smile"

Since her appearance in “Star Academy” 2005, the first music reality show in Bulgaria, Vyara Pantaleeva caught our attention with her powerful voice and the emotion she puts into every single performance. Vyara has released more than 20 singles, the latest of which is the song “Usmihni Se/ Smile”. As in most previous singles, her husband Chavdar Tsolov authored the music, the lyrics and the arrangement. The process of creating a new song always starts with a conversation in which Vyara tells Chavdar how she imagines the theme of the song and its message. Vyara Pantaleeva has more about the song “Smile”:

“The message of the song is very clear, because we have less and less reasons to smile. However, that doesn’t mean that we should stop trying to find reasons to do that. We should start from the little things and pay attention to those small day-to-day things that can make us happy.  In recent years, we have started to seek, expect and aim at grandiose things only, and the joy and pleasure of the small things is lost somewhere.”

With her song “Smile” Vyara sticks to the sounding of her VINTAGE project. Peyo Filipov recorded the trumpеtеs as a guest musician. Vyara and Chavdar invited him to participate at the filming of the video to the song, which urges us to smile, as there is always a reason to cheer up.
