Christine Restakyan releases two new original songs ‘Hope’ and ‘Sweet Heartbreaker’

chirst1 chirsitn1 ch41

Christine Restakyan has released two new new beautiful acoustic songs. The songs are called Hope and Sweet Heartbreaker and are both composed by Christine herself.

Hope is about never giving up and losing hope after the big difficulties the world has been facing over the last few months. The song works really well with the violin and keyboard instrumentation blended with Christine’s clear and beautiful vocals.

Sweet Heartbreaker is another delightful song that again includes the violin and keyboard sounds.

A special mention for Marianna Kirakozova (violin) and Eric Petrosyan (keyboard). The production on both songs is by Artur Stepanyan (Skhveni Production) and directed by Levani Gogoladze.

Christine is based in Georgia and she submitted a song to the Armenian Eurovision selection in 2020.
