Review:
"The title track comes up with a true keyboard/guitar trade-off. In this case, Vladan Mijatovic, who is one of the most renowned young artists on his instrument and has already performed in the distinguished Carnegie Hall, proves his dexterity."

Vladan's Debut Album
Coming from Balkans, his music is influenced by the temperament of that area and shaped of many uneven beats and musical ornaments, embellishments that serve to decorate the melody. All of that is designed with modern music character, which makes his music dictionary very different and unique. VLADAN survived two wars back home, and there is lot’s of pain and sadness in his music but more than that, there is happiness, enlightenment, hopefulness and joy.
