Popera

About the Artist
A NEW STYLE TO TURN WORLD MUSIC ON ITS EAR: KRASSIMIR INTRODUCES POPERA Krassimir is one of Bulgaria’s most popular celebrities - an amazing singer with a top ten album, a famous mime artist, and an outspoken cultural advocate. A true male soprano with an impressive 4-octave range, Krassimir now steps onto the international stage with an evocative new album and a voice that is unlike anything you’ve ever heard. Popera was recorded and produced by William Tabanou who has worked with artists such as Avril Lavigne and Coolio. The first time he heard Krassimir perform live at the El Portal Theater he was immediately taken by his extraordinary talent. "The moment I heard his voice I knew I had to work with him!" Krassimir and Tabanou recorded the album primarily at Jam Studios in West Hollywood, with additional recording done in the Czech Republic. They spent countless hours experimenting with various arrangements and compositional elements. The result is an incomparable record that fuses European pop and a contemporary symphonic sound with soaring melodies, poetic lyrics, and Krassimir’s one of a kind voice. From the Art of Silence A New Vocal Star Rises… Krassimir’s star began rising in his homeland at the early age of 9. As a young mime, he became well known in performance circles throughout Bulgaria and Eastern Europe as master of conveying ideas through body language. Helping him emerge from the art of silence was the great opera prima and vocal coach Penka Gekova who inspired him and thought him to master his newfound talent. With her training he was able to develop his gift. His first album, Silent Voices (1998), was a Bulgarian top ten hit. He performed extensively in some of the most prestigious venues in Europe mesmerizing audiences with impressive stage shows and his unique, one of a kind voice. As record sales soared and critics applauded, Krassimir was ready to move on to the next challenge. In 1999 Krassimir moved to Los Angeles, CA in search of something more. But the fame and renown he enjoyed as a pop star in his native country did not follow. So he started over. When he began singing people immediately took notice. Singer and soul legend, Lionel Ritchie, was impressed: "When I first heard his voice I thought it was computer enhanced or something. But when I heard him live…man, it really blew me away. He is truly a rare talent." Since his arrival in Los Angeles, Krassimir has been studying with the internationally renowned voice coach Kay Montgomery. He has appeared on primetime television programs including Alias, The Agency, and America’s Most Wanted. He also works in film and commercials, and is a premier spokesman for his native Bulgaria’s cultural legacy. Hearing Krassimir sing, one quickly realizes that a voice like his comes along once in a very great while. With an awe inspiring live set, and an impressive new record, it is only a matter of time before this rare talent breaks into the forefront of international music.

Product Description
Popera follows in the footsteps of internationally acclaimed records like Enigma’s MCMXC a.D and Sarah Brightman’s La Luna, anchored by a truly innovative sound. The album features 10 original compositions in 4 languages – English, Spanish, Russian and Latin. Each song is an epic unto itself with Krassimir’s mystical voice drawing the listener into every word. The result is an incomparable record that fuses European pop and a contemporary symphonic sound with soaring melodies, poetic lyrics, and Krassimir’s one of a kind voice. "Madness of Greatness," "Bolero," and "Set Me Free" are marked by unforgettable anthems and thunderous, emotionally evocative choruses. Even the lighter songs on Popera, such as "S.O.S." or "Ocean" are performed with their own dramatic intensity and a subtle bravado that can permeate even the most thick-skinned critic. "With all the violence and destruction that exists out there, I wanted to make an album that above all, inspires emotion in people and encourages them to dig deeper. I think if anything can transcend our personal barriers, it’s music." On Popera, Krassimir explores the depths of the human psyche’s struggle with love, triumph, longing, and loss. The third track, "Memories," a Spanish lament, is a powerful ode to all those who have died in recent tragedies and war. Like a great film soundtrack, Popera follows life’s story in a dramatic, emotive way. Krassimir not only ventures outside the lines of conformity, but also works towards erasing them altogether. He reaches out to listeners in a special way, replacing traditional boundaries with an original, unique musical expression that audiences from all corners of the globe can embrace with equal candor.

You won't believe your ears!!.......2006-07-18

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this guy sing and you won't either. I didn't think there was a person on the planet of the male gender who could even come close to singing these amazing notes.Adam Lopez holds the world record for the highest note ever recorded by a man. I think he hits the highest notes ever recorded period. I know you may not believe it, but yes,he even sings higher than Mariah Carey. I didn't think this was humanly possible but Mr. Lopez is living proof of it. He has even sang back-up for Mariah and other famous singers. I am just starting to develope a fondness for classical music and Adam's style is just that. He takes classical operatic tunes and lay them down over a pop beat which would explain the title of the cd. This is not some guy trying to sing in a high voice. Adam's voice is so natural it's scary. He hits notes in whistle register and higher with no effort at all.He sounds as if Josh Groban swallowed Mariah Carey and this is the only analogy I can give to describe his voice. This guy is definitely going to be a big star. Give Popera a chance, you won't regret it. The only problem I had with this cd is that it only contained four songs but that is more than enough for you to get a taste of what Adam has to offer. His newest cd is called "Showstopper" and I can't wait for it to become available in the states. I think I just found the 8th wonder of the world.
