Willow. "Do not take off"

The singer and author of the songs of Iva Tuyevskaya, in the past, is a soloist of the Ivatu project-the Moscow English-speaking darkweive group, which performed at the Berlin Music Video Awards and Tallinn Music Week, toured Europe, released three releases on the Brazilian Wave Records label. In 2021, I willy, along with producer Anton Fish, founded the Ivas project, where he performed his own songs in Russian-such esoteric romances, which are close to Drim Pope and Darkweiv in the sound. The debut album of the project has just been released, which is called “Views of the Beautiful”, and we suggest you look at his first clip “Don’t take off” (director - Galina Kazimi):

Willow

Through music, I explore the unconscious. There are stories about love or death, the capture of transcendental experiences and conditions. Pictures of spaces that are far from sometimes unsympathetic and disappointing reality, spaces in which it is possible not only to fly, but also not to breathe.

Living music is the contrast of modern pop huts.

Pasha Nikolsky, owner of the Siniy Les studio, on which the final work on the album took place

This is a very emotional album. Iva poetically tells his stories, saturated with otherworldly romance. Atmospheric arrangements combine low-file industrial dramas-machines and synthesizers from the 80s with a large number of living instruments: acoustic piano and many guitars, a solo on the infectalgic French style. Despite the electronic bits, this record does not sound schematically and verbally. Living, places even improvisational music, composed in one impulse recorded by one double, is the contrast of modern pop hits , produced as a product and fully made on a computer. The same applies to willow vocals: it is not glued from dozens of separate phrases using auto. We hear a lively vocal performance from the first to the last note, with all the nuances and drama, which makes a very strong and fresh impression.
