(September 26, 2023) For fifteen years, Macedonia’s Vladimir Cetkar has been releasing memorable projects. His blending of jazz and soul on albums such as Going Home and Heavenly has resulted in an ever increasing fan base around the world. Cetkar’s ability to produce, arrange, write, and orchestrate has also enabled him to be featured on some of the greatest stages, festivals and concerts.
Building on this successful run, Cetkar releases his latest single and music video, entitled “A New Day.” On this track, Cetkar sticks to his bread and butter, by giving us a soul/jazz vibe of positivity. Filled with a stellar horn section complimenting the rousing percussion and Cetkar’s guitar, this is a song focused on encouraging the listener to look for new opportunities. The refrain of “all my worries, they’re gonna go away; love and sunshine, that’s what’s gonna stay…” effectively reinforces the song’s optimistic intention.
As Cetkar embarks on a tour of South Korea this fall, his release of “A New Day” is great return to form after a four year absence. Finding a recipe for success can be a challenge, but Cetkar makes it look easy, and we are fortunate to hear such a stellar musical result.
