Roman Semenchuk, the renowned vocalist and producer behind the project Thinkside (formerly Dimicandum), proudly presents his new single “Fire Within.” This track reflects personal and professional reevaluation after a period of burnout.
“Fire Within” was created at a moment when Roman realized he was living up to others’ expectations rather than his own aspirations. This Single symbolizes his decision to dedicate himself to music and keep the inner fire alive. It reminds us that even in the darkest times, our inner light can lead us to brighter days.
Creative Team and Their Contribution to “Fire Within”
Roman collaborated with two producers: Andrii Yasnohorodskyi, during the pre-production stage, and Alex Kramer from Duma Studios, for mixing and mastering. Co-producer Dmitriy Kim, who also played drums on the track, contributed significantly to the production.
The single release is accompanied by a lyric video, created by the talented director and 3D motion designer Bohdan Narizhny, who is also a musician in the contemporary Ukrainian Metalcore band Burning Time Machine.
