GOHAR takes us through the superficial and into the soul of someone who's done the hard work of unbecoming. With her background in classical training at the world-famous Mozarteum in Salzburg, you can picture her voice filling the opera stages of Europe. What had been her dream had become a gilded cage, and she walked away.
With "Feels So," she comes fully into her power. Infusing lush R&B grooves with pop accessibility and subtle weavings of Armenian folk, GOHAR's sound is all her own. The production is crystalline and atmospheric, clinging to her vocals like a second skin. Each note made is deliberate, and each beat is a new heartbeat of a group that no longer feels the need to be the same as everyone else.
The song encapsulates that rare moment of awakening when you finally stop dancing to everyone else's music and start following your own beat. It is about opting for clarity over noise, for a sense of purpose over an expedient path but without a heart. You can sense the weight of the choice in her delivery and the smooth yet assured.
There's a low-key strength in how GOHAR refuses to be boxed in by genre, expectations, and the paths other people expect her to take. "Feels So" chronicles the redemption in self-definition, as it addresses anyone who's ever felt the need to hide behind a mask to be loved. What makes GOHAR compelling is her vocal ability, musical intelligence, and sense of fearlessness. "Feels So" serves as a mirror to anyone willing to shatter it and evidences the beauty of finally becoming who you were born to be.
