Establishing the mood with an almost Elliott Smith-esque acoustic guitar introduction and atmospheric frequencies, Ticket To The Universe opens Be The One with a brooding timbre and immersive vocal design as he sings, “I gave my all for you tonight, I think I might cry on your thighs, baby don’t dry your eyes…”
The opus expands with a high emotional quotient as Ticket To The Universe shares a cinematic pop energy, expanding with a cerebral hook of the name of the track, ascending in tone and captivating our souls.
There is a tangible spiritual energy to Ticket To The Universe‘s work – in line with his artist moniker. The production has a raw and timeless sensibility and his vocal design reminds of the band, Air. Speaking on the release, the rising Slovenian artist from Lenart confesses, “It’s different from anything I’ve ever done before. The song has a heart and soul, you know. And it has that determination of how much do you want it. And trust me, I want it so bad.”
He continues with reference to his muse, “The woman I write about is the most special, the most precious and the most important to me. She doesn’t even know that I exist, or maybe she does and she wants me to make the first move. I’m always inspired by her because she’s not like all the other girls. She’s different and strange and she’s a witch but that’s okay because I love real witches. She can cast a black magic spell on me anytime.”
On his growth as an artist, the talented creator says, “I’ve [was] never fascinated by music until one day in elementary school my classmate played on the guitar and sang. He gave me such a great feeling inside, chills all over my body. That’s when I decided I’m gonna learn how to play guitar. I never saw myself as a singer and I even don’t now but I just can’t seem to find anyone else to sing my songs.”
