"Vlad has the creativity of a Wes Montgomery and the dexterity of an Eric Clapton", Zack Vaz, Motown Records. "Uplifting, melodic and stimulating are just some adjectives that begin to describe the music of Vlad... The album exhibits an intriguing blend of flavours, from an "Old World charm" to a technical adeptness that is second to none. As such, this is a unique recording and one that is certain to breathe life-giving-freshness into your musical day …just as its title suggests. " - Jazzlynx.net "This is quite an exceptional album, ranging from Smooth Jazz instrumental music that reminds me of Craig Chaquico's style, to almost classical or new age, but always lyrical and uplifting. With a background as a drummer from the age of 7, and a guitarist from age 13, this truly gifted musician captures a feel in his music that only the greats before him have managed. Wrap yourself in the pensive beauty of "Maybe...," take in the soaring joy and positive vibe of VLADOSPHERE's first radio hit, "Little Star," or chill to the smooth ambience of "What If..." It's all good, it's all quality...brilliantly performed and produced. This is definitely a disc to just slip into your player and thoroughly absorb. It's not just the music...it's the whole aura Vlad has created here, that's so captivating. There's plenty of variety in tempo and feel to keep you intrigued from beginning to end. In Vlad's own words, "VLADOSPHERE is a place where I feel safe, secure, loved, balanced, happy, and optimistic... Every human has his or her own sphere in that sense as well. We just need to make it alive again for each of us." Personally, I recommend spending some quality time in Vlad's world...the VLADOSPHERE! It is, indeed, a most pleasant, inspirational place to be. ~Scott O'Brien, Smoothjazz Maazine "Beyond any musical boundaries, his creations can be described as Contemporary World Fusion, combining a mixture of sounds, from World, Jazz, Pop, Symphonic, Soul and more. Now weave together all of life’s richness and add hues of color and layers of texture. This is what is heard in each of Vlad’s works – each song a different experience and each note a different moment expressed.” - Diane Olson, Skope Magazine
