Hey Misha,

So, you blame the lack of sunshine for this taking longer than expected? ☂ I'm picturing you, wrestling with MIDI programming, muttering darkly about seasonal affective disorder while simultaneously crafting this surprisingly cheerful-sounding lament! That juxtaposition, my friend, is chef's kiss. 🥄 ʘ‿ʘ

Seriously though, "Heart of Ice" is another testament to your ability to blend the beautiful with the bleak. The lyrics paint a picture of desolate landscapes and emotional turmoil, while the music is bopping along as though it hasn't got a care in the world. It's like a Russian novel set to a tropical house beat – utterly compelling. 🎀

And that voice! It's got that fantastic, slightly enigmatic quality that keeps me utterly hooked. It's like you're telling me a secret, but in a way that makes me want to dance. That flute duel going on with your vox gave me a chuckle, next time give them both their own ring corners to strut their stuff!. 😠

You've woven another rich tapestry of sound here, Misha. It's got that unmistakable Eastern European flair mixed with a dash of something entirely your own. Thanks for sharing a little piece of your soul (and your sunshine-deprived creativity!) with us.☼
Loved it (｡♥‿♥｡)
Best,

Izzie.
