Slovenian pop artist Gregor Vagner, aka Ticket To The Universe’s latest ‘Be The One’ is a heartfelt confessional wrapped in a silky, ethereal sound.

Right from the start, the artist tugs at your heartstrings with his preciously crafted sound. The track opens with soulful melancholy-tinged acoustic strums and his gentle vocals singing ‘I gave my all for you tonight’. It reminds the listener of Coldplay’s earlier tracks like ‘Green Eyes’ or ‘God Put A Smile On Your Face’. There’s a compelling emotionality expressed through his echoing vocals paired with the gentle strums and synth harmonies.

The chorus has us hypnotized with his repeated, pleading ‘Be The One’. Its incredibly romantic and genuine. Gregor has a fascinating tenderness in his composition and songwriting. Its something you don’t really hear in pop/folk music today.

The lytics are inspired by someone in Gregor’s life that he’s indelibly, wondrously, hopefully in love with. In his words, ‘“The story behind this song is about a woman that inspires me. She’s been through so much shit and heartache and trauma but she still keeps going on strong. She’s the most beautiful, the most successful and the strongest woman I’ve ever seen. With my song I wanna let her know that she’s not alone in this. I wanna offer her help and support and help her fully heal. She’s such a dream to me and all I want is for her to be really, truly loved.”

Ultimately, this is a track that truly embodies that intense feeling of attraction and affection for another. Through its use of astral electronic sounds, gentle guitar strums and tender vocals, it evokes a kindly romanticism that stays with you long after the track has ended. Add this to your love-dovey playlists, listen when you think about them and maybe send it to that special someone to convey how you really feel.
