Gelka – Wishful Thinking (Spotify)
“From the very first track, the author fascinates his listeners with a piano that caresses the ear, as if with the breath of nature enticingly dispose you and me to its vast expanses. For a moment, the heart stops, the pulse slows down ... and we plunge into impenetrable bliss ...”
“С самого первого трека автор завораживает своих слушателей ласкающим слух пиано, словно дыханием природы вкрадчиво располагает нас с вами к своим необъятным просторам. На мгновение сердце замирает, пульс замедляется... и мы погружаемся в непроглядную негу...”
