An international production led by acclaimed Swedish composer Maria Eriksson
A musical constellation without borders
Swedish tenor Ivanhoe takes a bold new step in his inspiring career with the release of his latest single “Cosmos”, an international collaboration with rising Italian star Chanel Dilecta and acclaimed composer-producer Maria Eriksson.
Merging operatic pop, synth pop, and soft rock, “Cosmos” is a celestial piece brimming with emotion, metaphor, and musical depth, captivating the listener from the very first note.
“Cosmos”: love, destiny, and global harmony
“Cosmos” is not just a song — it’s a journey through emotion and destiny. Using cosmic metaphors, Ivanhoe and Chanel Dilecta narrate a powerful connection between two souls meant to meet. The release includes two maxi singles: one with the original track and its various stylistic versions, and another filled with dance remixes that elevate the sonic experience.
Musicians from Sweden, Ukraine, Italy, Tunisia, Austria, Spain, Venezuela, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Costa Rica, and Argentina contributed to this global tapestry of sound, creating a truly multicultural harmony.
tenor Ivanhoe: a voice shaped by worlds
Ivanhoe is much more than a singer — he’s a storyteller of emotions. Born in Central Asia along the historic Silk Road, he embodies a fusion of cultures, epochs, and musical styles. His artistic path took him through Africa, South America, Spain, Italy, and finally Sweden, where he completed his studies at Kulturama, the Nordic region’s largest performing arts school.
Ivanhoe’s music offers a comforting refuge in today’s fast-paced world. His warm, expressive voice reaches the depths of the soul, evoking romantic nostalgia with a modern sensibility.

At Indie Valley Music, we want to express our sincere admiration and deep respect for the music and artistic vision of tenor Ivanhoe.
His most recent release, “Cosmos”, stands out as an exceptional work within the universe of contemporary synth pop and operatic crossover. The song features a melodic, harmonious, energetic, and emotional sound that connects authentically and powerfully with listeners, both in the mainstream and in more alternative and artistically sensitive spaces.
The musical structure of “Cosmos” is carefully crafted: fluid, dynamic, and coherent from start to finish. The composition achieves an exquisite balance between classical elements and modern textures, giving the piece a timeless character. The lyrics are symbolically rich, poetic, and deeply moving, reinforcing the celestial theme with language full of metaphors and nuances that evoke spiritual connection and the destiny of souls.
From a production standpoint, “Cosmos” reaches a unique level of excellence that captivates even the most discerning and experienced listeners. The mix is detailed and three-dimensional, with every sonic layer — vocals, synthesizers, rhythmic elements, ambient pads — precisely positioned within the stereo field. The mastering delivers a clean, powerful, and balanced sound across the entire frequency spectrum, ideal for both high-fidelity headphones and large sound systems.
The vocal performance is, without a doubt, one of the most remarkable aspects. Ivanhoe’s interpretation is clear, refined, technically flawless, and emotionally profound. His vocal command and expressiveness convey authenticity, sensitivity, and passion. The collaboration with Chanel Dilecta brings a youthful and fresh presence that beautifully contrasts and complements Ivanhoe’s vocal maturity, creating a rich, cinematic, and immersive sonic chemistry.
Although framed within the synth pop genre, the instrumentation subtly incorporates influences from classical repertoire and film music. The use of arpeggiators, wide-reverb pads, and harmonic synthesizers creates an immersive atmosphere that transports the listener on an emotional and sensory space journey. Every detail — from rhythmic design to harmonic construction — has been meticulously crafted to support and amplify the central concept of cosmic connection.
“Cosmos” is not just a song: it is a sonic experience that transcends genre boundaries, inviting the listener to dive into a universe of emotion, light, and harmony. A technically sophisticated and spiritually elevated work, it reaffirms Ivanhoe’s place as a unique and essential voice in the contemporary synth pop and classical pop scene. At Indie Valley Music, we are honored to spotlight such an outstanding and meaningful piece.
