With an intimate presence and a deeply emotional sound, Valeria Lerie blends soulful pop with R&B touches, piano and nostalgia in her new single “Bolka” — an intimate musical story about the encounters and experiences that make us see the world differently.

“Bolka” explores that particular feeling when someone or something pulls you out of your familiar existence. When you encounter a thought, a person or a challenge that confuses you, shifts your perspective and makes you reconsider things you once took for granted. Because sometimes, the very things that challenge us and shake us internally leave the deepest mark and change the way we experience the world. Sometimes, encountering someone’s complex and unfamiliar inner world can bring pain, fascination and personal transformation all at once.

Musically, the song embraces a more intimate, ballad-like sound, with understated production, gentle harmonies, piano and guitars that take us on a journey into the most private corners of our souls. Beautiful, candid footage from Paris captures the song’s atmosphere without unnecessary visual embellishment.

With “Bolka”, Valeria Lerie invites us to sit for a moment with the feelings we may not immediately understand, but which change the way we experience ourselves and others.
