The album ESCAPES, like all the CD albums composed by Albena Petrovic, bears a very personal and unique imprint, inspired and built according to the idea of escaping, of leaving; in a mental and poetic way rather than physically, by pursuing the ‘fil rouge' that runs through each work and with the same message: to escape from reality and dive into another, more beautiful world – the world of dreams and fantasy. The themes with dark painful states of mind where loneliness and fear of abandonment prevail are the ones that most often inspire me. Is the desire to leave, to leave never to come back, a real feeling, or rather an imaginary one?

The inspiration for a large part of her music comes from autobiographical elements. It follows Albena during her life journey and has been part of her personal destiny since she took the path of leaving her native country, Bulgaria. Like her paths in life, where she had to separate herself from everything and reinvent herself, her dreams and fears take a central place in her work. As a result of her own destiny as a loner 'displaced' because of the crisis of the 90s due to the destruction of the entire political and cultural system of the East, her artistic personality was built on this perspective. The snippets of memories are more like fiction than her real life.
