Positivity and togetherness are two things that the world seems to need more of. Thankfully, Igor Anicic is here to help with his EP Save the World Today which is the first in a musical project spanning six languages and different genres. Filled with a message of togetherness, the EP has positive vibes pumping through you.

With a mixture of languages, the tracks are filled with the spirit of the language and draw on influences from various artists. While you may not understand the lyrics of each track, the emotional pull hooks into your chest regardless. Spreading love and peace, Anicic has you wanting the world to be a much better place than it currently is.



The EP opens with ‘We Got to Stay Together’ which is one of the English language tracks. The song draws you in with a soaring guitar line before Ancic’s vocals sink into your brain. His vocals are like the sun warming your skin and making you feel happy. The harmonisations throughout the track bring a feeling of community that makes you want to reach out to others. This enhances the lyrics and messaging of the track that calls for everyone to stay together and work through troubles as one. That soaring guitar from the opening makes an appearance throughout the single to get you riding the sonic airwaves.

‘Positivo’ is all bright lights and happiness from the first moment. The piano line has this high tone that patters through your chest and straight into your soul. As the name suggests, the track is in Spanish but you don’t need to know the language to get the vibes of the music. Through his performance, Anicic fills you with the good vibes of the track. The harmonisations bolster the vibes of the music while making you want to dance.

‘Vamos Ser Feliz’ hits you with some intense energy from the first moment before dropping you down to a more Latin vibe. When the vocals hit, they bring a new language into the mix with some Portuguese. As with the last track, you don’t really need to know the language to get lost in the vibes of the track. Through the music and the vocals, you are filled with the idea that we all deserve to be happy. The beats of the music put a smile on your face while moving your body to the rhythm of the track.

The EP closes with the title track ‘Save the World Today’ which takes us back to English. The horns in the opening blast a wave of tropical vibes over you that is only enhanced as the track continues. The melody makes you think of sandy beaches and sunny skies while you relax with loved ones and friends. While you are filled with these vibes, you are also washed in the message of the lyrics. Through the track, you are filled with a want to change the world for the better and bring the happiness you feel through the music to everyone you meet.

Igor Anicic is using different languages, infectiously upbeat melodies and good vibes to fill you with positivity and the want to change the world in Save the World Today. Each track fills you with vibrant energy through the music while the vocals are packed with deeper messages. While you might not understand each track with the three languages used, the message each offers transcends this.
