The legendary rock artist and vocalist of Rainbow and Deep Purple Joe Lynn Turner has chosen Bulgarian pop star Maria Ilieva as a duet partner in his latest single. In the song "Forever", as a compliment to the Bulgarian audience, there is a special version with a verse in Bulgarian. 


The author of the music and arrangement is Joe Lynn Turner himself, as well as of the English lyrics and the Bulgarian lyrics were written by Maria Ilieva. The result of this collaboration excited them so much that the two musicians decided that the world premiere of the song would be the version with the Bulgarian text first - it was recorded days before the one in English.

"Forever" is a song about endless and eternal love. Joe Lynn Turner and Maria Ilieva take it out of the frame of that between two lovers and place it beyond the boundaries of time and space. In a world that needs love more than ever, they call for peace, unity and kindness.
