Yerevan, August 4, 2025 — Imagine realizing a dream so vivid, it feels filmic. That’s what happened when Aram Rhian, producer of the VO.X music project, became the first Armenian musician to step into—and record at—the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. This wasn’t just a visit—it was a full-circle moment of artistic gravity.
Abbey Road is synonymous with music history—thanks in large part to The Beatles and their iconic album and zebra-crossing cover that sealed its legacy. For Aram, this was less fantasy, more destiny: stepping into those rooms meant becoming part of a lineage he’d always admired.
The leap started in April with the release of his Lyricless album through Sony Music—an orchestral journey of vocal‑free, original melodies. Then, in May, inspiration struck: he composed new fully-realized songs, decided they were worth a pilgrimage… and Abbey Road opened its doors.
His mission: work with the esteemed sound engineer Miles Showell. Known for collaborating with giants like The Beatles, Queen, ABBA, and Dua Lipa, Showell ultimately cleared his calendar. On May 27, Aram’s songs were refined under the same roof where musical legends once sat.
Studio 2, where he recorded, remains preserved, almost frozen in time—an audible echo of ’60s energy. And the cherry on top? Playing “Madame Mills”, The Beatles’ own Steinway Vertegrand piano, which famously recorded hits like “Lady Madonna.” It was surreal to sit there reading notes knowing the legends preceded him.
The first fruits of that session are underway: two singles will be released under a shared subtitle—“Tuesday Morning on Abbey Road”, nodding to the exact day of the studio session. Aram has playful plans for future titles like “Friday Afternoon on Abbey Road” or “Wednesday Evening…”—a thematic thread marking each creative milestone.
He’s about to drop “Star‑Crossed”, a piano-driven track mixing melodic softness, emotional rock, plus an experimental recitative (a rap‑esque section—but call it that playfully), featuring a bass line played on an acoustic ukulele‑bass. Surprise guaranteed.
Digital platforms (except Russian ones, due to Sony’s current strategy) will be streaming soon. Plus, he’s lining up a whole album—“Unmade in Yerevan” (a sequel to 2010’s Made in Yerevan)—and even a book titled #Made_in_Երևան, capturing 200 real-life slices of Yerevan culture and moments from his social media roots.
