Thirst for Change

Thirst for Change by Ukrainian artist Tenderheart is born from the most fragile of circumstances. While air raid sirens echoed and drones flew overhead, Oleg Tovkach retreated into music as a form of therapy. The result is seven atmospheric Melodic House tracks, written between 2024–2025, that carry a melancholic calmness: gentle, warm, and quietly resilient. Tenderheart’s story is inseparable from the war in Ukraine. His daily reality is marked by danger and uncertainty, yet his music offers the opposite: a refuge of peace. In our article "Tenderheart - Creating Music Under Fire", Oleg shares how he volunteered in the early months of invasion, faced the psychological toll of constant violence, and still managed to compose music in the evenings. These tracks are not cries of despair, but fragments of persistence and longing for peace. Thirst for Change is less about the noise of war and more about the human spirit that survives beneath it. Each track unfolds like a walk through a forest: shifting moods, but always part of the same journey. It is music that holds space for reflection, grief, and hope, reminding us that even in the darkest times, sound can carry light.
