"The third album by The Maneken is a cocktail of a wide variety of styles of the contemporary pop music. Among masterminds of the new songs, you'll discover heroes of the dance music of the 90's, and such mega-stars of the world rock scene as Lenny Kravitz and Coldplay, and the ultra-trendy The Metronomy and Miike Snow. Evgeniy Filatov traditionally performed most of the instrumentals and vocals independently. Nevertheless, guest musicians were also involved into recording of the album. Thus, in the composition "Stop!", Eugene sings with the child song group Open Kids, and drums in several compositions are performed by Zemfira's drummer and a former member of The Maneken Dan Marinkin. The album Portrait was mastered by Vlad Kramer, known due to his works with Zemfira, Jamala and others." (information from the official press release)

..the debut album by KAZKA is finally officially released on physical media. The release is of high quality, it's nice to keep it in your hands – well, and the fact that the album as such is worth paying attention to is obvious: in 2017, the project was one of the brightest debutants of the Ukrainian pop scene, and when the album was presented, it was already listened to far beyond Ukraine.

This album is a response to expectations of everyone who realized that Tina Karol was capable of much more than what she had so far demonstrated. Stuff of that kind was something that not only Tina, but the entire Ukrainian "first echelon pop scene" missed. A test (for herself and her habitual audience), a pilot..

There is no provocation, aggression – the man is just doing his job the way he likes. Braided in an intersection of several styles, his music attracts attention, above all, precisely with this – no pretending and calm confidence. Lyrically, unobtrusively, transparently to a degree..

Given the amount of work that Filatov is doing for a number of other performers, it is even surprising that he has enough energy and inspiration for his own project. However – he has enough. Enough energy, and imagination, and taste. Always in motion, in the process of development, always better than before – or, at least, different. The new album is an excellent illustration of this vector.

..Even in the ballads – this inner power cannot be hidden, it can be perceived almost physically. Perfection is a lie, of course – but nobody forbids strive and work for it. The Hardkiss is obviously one of those who aspire and work hard.

This album has become the first solo work by Alloise after she left Gorchitza live project. As a result, it turns out adequately light and gentle, vigorous without tension, dense – and, so to say, cultured. Advanced lyrical music equally appropriate in a club, and on the scene of a large open-air.

..It is amazing – how this voice is revealed in the thirteen steps of the quiet power. "Breath" is a soft and strong, weightless and confident, fragrant and unobtrusive album. Cool.

..it is clear this was a considerable piece of work – but it is the "work" that you actually don't hear. One can hear – clear energy, passion, and the ability to present simple lines in a truly delicious way. However, not all the arrangements are that straightforward and, given the "lightness" of the genre, this approach especially pleases.

In music – as elsewhere – there are revolutionary and evolutionary steps. But in fact the line is not on the "r", but – on the implementation quality. The project "Onuka" in general, and the album "Onuka" in particular – are exactly about the implementation quality...

..it is difficult to explain magic – and there is some of it, and one does not need to be an apologist of relevance to feel it. Ivan Dorn and his friends produce true pop music – lightweight, smart, eclectic, and specific. Young. With genuine charm. Cool, nothing to say...

"Kazaky" have preferred the English language and not the pop but rather the club style. Perhaps, their successful collaboration with Madonna played a role in this (shooting in the clip for the song "Girl Gone Wild") – anyway, "the guys on high heels" are clearly aimed at the "fashionable" audience...

In fact, "Kazaky" became famous as a dance project – they even inspired a whole wave of imitations and copies of their style and the scenic image. But in this case we are talking about a music album – no video bonuses, just music. The publisher identifies it as IDM – we think, rightly so.

..Right, this is dance music – house, synthpop, electronica – soft enough to not stun, but quite cheerful to still be called dance and to feel good, say, in the atmosphere of clubbing.

The Maneken is a unique artist who works in one of the most trendy areas of the contemporary music – the electronic rock.

Gorchitza live project very quickly became popular among stylish electronics fans – the ability to bring into dance music elements of rock, funk, etc, and at that to stay in the very light, transparent flow.

This music is more sharp-edged than, say, new-age, it contains more rhythmic patterns. But, at the same time, it is softer and slower than techno, it is put on a transparent, weightless basis. Well, and sounding of the violin adds, sure, pleasant tints.

Actually, disco could sound like this if it were given to a DJ who has already been sweating for two or three hours at the rack but has not yet lost the ability and inclination to experiment. That is why quite organically Arabic and African percussions and Jamaican rhythms, as well as "black" reciting and the "submarine" atmosphere are intertwined into the general canvas – for this is lounge, and diversified one.

...first, it is a frankly high-quality product – and, although now in Ukraine there is already quite a bit of high-quality electronic music, there are still more clubs, therefore the demand is only growing. Well, and secondly – however surprising, there is still not that much of club music with live vocal until now, if that is not outright waste.

Alexey Gorchitza creates tracks, which, in spite of their dance-orientedness, require from the audience something more than just readiness to shake soft parts of their body. Presumably, it will not be a mistake to name this – intelligent dance music, which in very nice proportions combines frisky rhythms and light, flexible melodies.

Their songs already long ago started being interesting for Europeans, they feel well in the USA, resonate in the Internet community – one could only be jealous. Look: on MySpace portal, this project took the 2nd rate in the world song competition conducted there, and Natalie Dali also won in a competition for the title of Miss MySpace USA in December 2009.

"Vintage" fashion has not gone round electronic pastures, this has long been clear. Well, and if one takes lounge – as it is in this style that the debut album by the group "Airport" is recorded – here vintage even looks absolutely natural. And, possibly, it is exactly due to this that music of the album acquires some additional soft depth, expressivenesses.
