Turbo releases a new single featuring Tommy Thayer from the legendary KISS. "I See Love Here" was composed and produced by Thayer himself
Czech band Turbo, one of the most prominent stalwarts of the domestic rock scene, presents a brand new, slightly nostalgic rock single "Vidím tu lásky svý stát", which was created in an exceptional international collaboration. The author of the music, lyrics and production is Tommy Thayer, guitarist of the world-famous band KISS, who personally supervised the entire process in the Svárov studio and recorded some of the guitar parts himself.
The single is being released in two versions: in the original English version, but mainly in the Czech version under the title "Vidím tu lásky svý stát". The Czech text was written by Ladislav Vostárek, a long-time lyricist associated with the biggest hits of domestic rock. Jaime St. James, singer of the band Black 'N Blue, also collaborated with Thayer on the original English version of the song.
The English version of the single, entitled "Time of My Life", as originally written by Tommy Thayer, is being released at the same time as "Vidím tu lásky svý stát". The third part of the project is the recording "Jediná ztracená", written by Karel Mecner and the Czech lyrics were written by Vladimír Kočandrle.
Tommy Thayer about the collaboration: "It all started with a phone call from Vivian's (Tommy's partner) mother Zuzana. She told me that she would be very happy if she could ask me to honor the memory of Richard Kybic, the original singer of the band, and to write a new song for Turbo, and I was very happy to agree."

The band members describe the creation of the single as one of the most significant moments in recent years, which is also a harbinger of the new album, which will be released next year for Turbo's 45th anniversary. "It's a pretty cool feeling when you get a message and it says 'hi, this is Tommy Thayer from the band KISS and I'm preparing a new song for you and Turbo'," laughs the band's frontman Radomil Zíka.
