“9/11 LOVE STORY” – marks the debut album of Ukrainian-American musician, composer, and songwriter Gladiee, released in the United States on September 11, 2025. This album features songs that vividly recreate the horrifying scenes and the profound terror experienced during the September 11, 2001 attacks. On that fateful day, Gladiee stood on the balcony of his home in Staten Island, New York witnessing firsthand the unimaginable collapse of the Twin Towers. The devastating impact and overwhelming sense of loss left an indelible mark on his soul, profoundly influencing his songwriting and inspiring this poignant musical tribute. Each song title is named after a chapter of his romantic novel “9/11 Love Story,” embedding hidden meanings and purposes within each piece. The rhythm, tempo, duration, and composition timeline of every song were meticulously planned.

The creation of this music album spanned nearly nine years, culminating in the first part of Gladiee’s dual presentation, the “9/11 Love Story” memorial. The second part, a forthcoming romantic novel also titled “9/11 Love Story,” is still in progress, promising to further explore the themes and stories introduced in the album.

Gladiee’s work honors the memory of those affected by the events of September 11, 2001, through a blend of musical and literary art that captures the essence of love, loss, and resilience.
