This is what this album is comprised of – well, and a jolt of haphazardness, to spell out in words the somewhat absurd lyricism of the world capable of joyfully and sadly beautiful acts. Even if it doesn't (?) make sense. Exhale and inhale, mind and heart, because otherwise – it does not work, it does not dance.

Instead, one listens to the main melodic line, the beauty and the flexible power of the voice..

Khrystyna Soloviy keeps growing up. This process is not that easy or painless – this means that there will be new questions (sometimes without answers) and new answers (sometimes without questions) arising.
