Doron Karavani, the talented musician from Helsinki, has just released his original single "Only Love," and we couldn't be more thrilled!
As huge fans of Doron’s incredible performances and skills, we eagerly dove into this latest track, and it did not disappoint. From the moment the gentle guitar strumming and soft piano notes greet you, you're enveloped in a warm embrace of sound. The introduction is soft and simple, setting the stage for the magic to come.
Doron enters with such beautiful lyrical and vocal expression that we were floored beyond belief. The emotive delivery is so powerful that it can make time stand still. When you reach the chorus, “Only love can keep us together close,” you'll realize you’re listening to an artist worthy of legendary status.
Imagine a festival setting where the crowd falls silent, entranced as Doron begins to sing. This moment would leave thousands staring in disbelief, realizing they've never had the opportunity to hear such an incredible performance before. The blend of love and positivity in this song is palpable, bringing warmth to your heart and urging everyone to do what they want to do.
There’s a really heartfelt dedication in the middle of the song that adds a soft gravity and raw honesty, making it feel like it’s crafted from a place of beauty. And just when you think it couldn’t get better, the horns burst in, sending shivers of delight down your spine.
What makes this song even more beautiful is the collaboration with the amazing Kalevi Lohivuori, who adds his magic with trumpet and keyboards. This recording took place in Kalevi's home studio on a cold winter day, proving that simplicity and raw talent can lead to the most breathtaking results.
Doron’s music draws from influences ranging from Bob Marley to Nina Simone, and it’s clear that he pours his heart and soul into every note. "Only Love" is a soulful track that resonates deeply with themes of love and positivity, a heartfelt expression of his experiences and beliefs.
"Only Love" showcases Doron Karavani’s stunning ability to weave heartfelt messages into his music. The combination of lush instrumentation and poignant lyrics creates a memorable listening experience that resonates deeply with audiences.

I've been making music since 15 years old. but recordings came later at around 22.

During the pandemic something came to me fromsomwere and I came up with Only love. I guess it was the unhappy feeling of the pandemic etc..
Can you walk us through your songwriting process, including where you most prefer to be when you write and create the foundation musical arrangements?
I dob't usually write. When a song come to me I memorize it and if it's really good I keep remembering it till I get a chance to record it. Usually I grab my guitar at home when feeling mellow or blue. With Only Love i later visited a good friend of mine Kalevi Louhivuori and we recorded the song at his home studio. I love the sound and the simplicity

Guitar

I do have my studio at home but I always endup at a more proffessional studio when it comes to actual recordings that I want to release.
Can you tell us how your collaboration with Kalevi Lohivuori on "Only Love" influenced the song's final sound and how recording in his home studio shaped the atmosphere and mood of the music?
Kalevi lives in a tiny wooden house in the middle of the forest. I think the deep sound we got just felt good for this track.
What message do you hope listeners take away from "Only Love"?
That whatever you chase in life should be what you say and do while remembering that only love remins at the end.
Marley and Nina Simone, how do you think these artists have shaped your approach to music?
To be who you are.
What was the most challenging part of bringing "Only Love" to life, from the initial idea to the final recording?
There was no challange. The song came and I liked a lot so later I recorded it. I think it was made during a one or two takes.

If there was one thing you could change about the music industry, what would it be?
I woulden't change anything. Music has always been moving forward and changing our lifes and so forth ... I think today there way more oprtonties for artist to spred thier music. once it is recorded and published you may not have control on where the song will go and travel.
