New Music: Boris Pelekh – I See it Now

I See It Now is the title track of Boris Pelekh’s recent five-track EP. Known for his work with Gogol Bordello, the song and in fact the whole release sees Pelekh explore a different – but for the listener highly rewarding – musical direction.

There’s a gentleness at the heart of I See It Now that’s impossible to resist. I’m hard to please when it comes to stripped down, folk-oriented songs as a rule. But here, the softly flowing rhythm of the guitar melody, the emotionally impactful and insightful lyrics make the song a thoughtful, delightful listening experience. Take the time to join Pelekh as he reflects on how loss can help us find ourselves – you’ll not regret it.

Reveals Pelekh about I See It Now, “The song represents the finality of the emotional rollercoaster that the EP takes the listener through. In this stage the protagonist is uncontrollably drawn to this mystical land which he knows nothing about but sees perfect purpose in traveling to. In this place he finds his inner peace and love after a long time of calling it in.”

He adds, “It still bewilders me some time later that this happened to me in such a storybook way, and it further affirms my belief in collective consciousness and soul connection”
