Originally hailing from Russia and now based in Prague, Govorukha is an emerging artist who’s been sharing his intimate and emotionally resonant music. Writing, recording, mixing and mastering his own music from his apartment, Govorukha’s artistic journey is one defined by a DIY approach and a passion for self-expression.

In 2021, Govorukha made his entrance into the music scene with his debut EP titled takemehome (demo), offering the world a glimpse into his heartfelt songwriting. Now, he returns with his latest single, “Scissors,” a song that beautifully captures his moving sound.

“Scissors” opens with delicate acoustic guitar plucks, setting the stage for an emotive journey. Govorukha’s hushed vocals enter, carrying a sense of intimacy and vulnerability that immediately draws you in. His restrained vocal style channels the aesthetic of folk artists like Ben Howard, creating a space where raw emotion is laid bare.

The arrangement gradually builds, adding subtle energy via softly strummed guitar chords and the gentle patter of a cajon to infuse the track with a rhythmic pulse. Warm violin lines stretch out, wrapping around Govorukha’s vocals to form an immersive soundscape.

The song was written as a heartfelt ode to helping friends navigate through trauma and adversity. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful way to assist someone in their journey is by simply being there without judgment, unsolicited advice or shared stories of personal experiences.

It’s a dazzling indie folk song that reveals the depth of the artist’s songwriting and ability to carry an emotive song with grace. As he continues to charm audiences with his authentic sound and poignant lyricism, Govorukha’s artistic journey promises to be one filled with memorable music that speaks straight to your heart.
