MAX BARSKIH has recently revealed his debut English tune, "Stomach Butterflies", and if you think that sounds odd, well, guess what... the world doesn't rotate around the UK or USA. Max is based out of Kyiv in Ukraine, and usually, he releases music in his own language, so this new offering is doubly special for him.
Kyiv’s MAX BARSKIH stuns with his dreamy English debut "Stomach Butterflies" — a moody, Cigarettes After Sex-style gem that proves language is no barrier when raw talent shines this brightly.
The dreamy new track is honestly one of the best dream-pop tracks we've heard this year, even sitting in the same realm as Cigarettes After Sex with how moody it sounds. I have to praise him to the moon and back for his vocals, as this isn't even his native tongue – imagine how amazing he'd sound in Ukrainian.
As a fellow Slavic language speaker, I know the pitfalls of sounding fluid and beautiful in one but stuttering and floundering in another, and what Max has done on this song is shine a light beacon on him to all of the labels and producers around the world.
Remember the name, MAX BARSKIH., We can't wait to see this song in a live setting; it's basically phenomenal.
