"Right in front of your eyes, a new mass culture is emerging – the new style of a MASS SHOW. When we do something together, we get absorbed in a state that cannot be compared with anything else. This is – HEY-PHORI-YEAH: and this is the title of my new album." "HEY-phori-YEAH" is an album of charged songs. These are 9 tracks, each of them having its own "sound of joy", "sound of drive". The album, on which the singer worked for almost 4 years, was recorded in Ukraine, Sweden and the USA. Recording of the album involved contributions from Rusty Allen, Victor Little, George Benson, Brian Coller et al. – legendary musicians and producers. Despite this intercontinental nature, the album is based on Slavic rhythms. In old Slavic circle dances, plyaskas, hlopushkas and even liturgies, Ruslana discovered elements new for pop music. The album combines the famous "Gypsy Gril", "Yablochko", "Sirtaki", samples from Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninov. Take a note: from the Russian classics, the singer took what they, in due time, borrowed from the Ukrainian folk culture. Brief flashes of a few seconds of synchronous action – CHARGES – this is the key "know-how" and peculiarity of the new MASS style and Ruslana's show, which is intended to bring together as many people as possible."

...The main thing is different – the positive mood and the lyrical tint, and this foundation gives birth to quite a good youth cocktail. Without serious claims to profoundness – but with the apparent capacity to recharge a tired person, to steer his / her thoughts toward something cheerful.

It seems that more than 10 years have passed since the release of the previous album by "Korolivski Zaytsi" – and, perhaps, few could expect continuation. Although, given the first works by the group, this long silence has had to upset all lovers of good poetry decorated with patterns of alternative music.

"Sister Serena" is a young project, but it has already declared itself loudly enough. Everything played its role here: both the fact that three girls are in the center, and the fact that Diesel from "Green Gray" undertook the producing work, and high quality standard set from the very beginning, and that they write their songs themselve...

So, the third album. The one who tracks it from the beginning – probably, will notice that the group does not change masks but sticks in its motion with a certain direction. And that is why one can see very well that the sounding becomes more confident and, at the same time, transparent – in other words, quality noticeably increases..

The new album is released in mid-winter, but its name hints at quite a spring mood – and the hint, it seems, is substantiated. If the debut work tended to "heavy blues", "Password: I Love" appears lighter, more romantic, transparent. However, it is still not the manner that has changed – one recognizes the group's sounding at once – it is the mood that has changed.

..the album is not homogeneous, it has both sadness and joy, and lightness, and twilight, and seriousness, as different expressions of the same – and beautiful – face. While there is no – fear, although words about fear still can be heard from time to time. However, everybody trying to follow his/her path honestly unavoidably reflects on that – and slender honesty can be felt in every song of the album.

Good vocal, interesting arrangements, intelligent texts not deprived of sense of humor, high-quality recording – everything is there. There is the feeling that with the very first disc Maxima sets the objective to not only loudly announce itself in Ukraine, but also to test itself abroad.

It is difficult to explain this, because nothing has changed radically from outside. But somehow there is a persistent feeling that within this music there now sounds such confidence of one's own forces, ability to speak out simply, without superficial things – that it really looks like a new quality level.

Yanka Kozyr Orchestra not simply create music – they create their own mystery of sound, live and bright. And the music matter appears here so saturated, dense, enriched that it seems that it is visible, one can touch it, one can breathe it under water...

Talita Kum do not yield their habit – and this is good – to produce varicolored albums. "Show Business!" is again a kaleidoscope of moods, intonations, styles. From disco to rock-mainstream, from tender love lyrics to Freudian banter, from an unhurried ballad to spring drive – without ceremony.

What you see here now is a fresh word in matters of Ukrainian music releasing. "Star Collection" is a new format of premium releases, and it is not by chance that Alyona Vinnytska became the first robin of this experiment.

"Gorgisheli" plays light rock today, that is high-quality pop music with rock coloring. And its quality is exactly the one that quite a lot of our modern pop-performers lack. Well, that’s not bad – "Gorgisheli" have great chances to quickly become one of the most interesting current projects in the style "pop-rock".

Year 2007 – Nota, a.k.a. Natalia Stadnyk, graduated from school. And – released together with her group the first album "Together with You". A beautiful album, I should say – of such album even experienced ones would not be ashamed. However, probably, "adult" groups just cannot afford anything of the kind?

One of the best Ukrainian albums of this year. Ruslana manages to keep an original touch to every single song she records. My favorite tracks are : Davaj hraj!, ShaLaLa, Rakmaninov, Ey-fori-ya and Miy Brat.

I bought this album only last week and I have listened to it dozens of times already. My favourite songs from the album are Davay Hray, Rakhmaninov, Kray and Sha la la. Ruslana has still managed to mix traditional Ukrainian music with a modern twist.

An album which is totally different from what Ruslana has done before, but it´s still Ruslana and I absolutely like the new style. Ей-форі-я is a real hymn to me, Давай, Грай!/ОГО! ОГО! gave me the real feeling for the Euro 2012 and Рахманінов makes me feel like dancing. Ша-ла-ла and Вау! are also tracks I like a lot, though I like the 2011 version of Bay! better.

Руслана это моя любимая певица, поэтому я заказал диск. Ее песни разнообразные, как показал этот диск. Руслана дала песни сердца, и это показывает. Я надеюсь, что это будет продолжаться. Хороший альбом.

With this album Ruslana shows what a talented and creative artist/musician she is. It's totally different from the previous albums but still so Ruslana. I have to be hones some of the songs really had to grow on me but most of them like Sha la la, Rahmaninhof, Davaj graj and Euphoria Amazed me!
Buy the album and you'll know what I mean.

A fantastic album by a fantastic artist! It’s certainly very different from everything she has done before. It's rock/pop style with powerful guitar riffs (at least most songs), no R’n’B, no romantic ballads and very little folk. Having delivered a number of excellent and popular albums it is of course difficult for an artist to develop further and not to follow stereotypes. I think Ruslana has mastered this perfectly well by delivering an album which is daring enough to walk on completely new paths, but at the same reflects her Ukrainian identity. The result is simply awesome! Of all her albums this has become my favourite. There is only one word that expresses my feeling about it: Eu-phori-ya!
Мій брат: Great rhythm and melody.
Ша-ла-ла: It gives me a summer sunshine feeling.
Рахманінов: Stunning combination of classical piano and modern pop. Well thought through arrangements. Very powerful chorus. It makes me want to dance.
Роби гучніше!: Great drive.
Вау!: Infectious rhythm, though I liked the 2011 version better.
Я-блу4ко!: The beginning reminds me of ‘I’m a Scatman’ by Scatman John, but then it really gets started. Very powerful rhythm. Can’t sit still.
Давай, Грай!/ОГО! ОГО!: Sensational football anthem!
Ей-форі-я: MASTERPIECE! Wow, I really love it and can't stop listening to it! Ruslana's beautiful voice goes very well with this power rock ballad. Brilliant arrangements. Wonderful!
Край: It would have been great on the Wild Dances album. On this album this folk song is a bit like an alien ;-)

Мені альбом ДУЖЕ сподобався... в кожній пісні відчувається якийсь слов'янський мотив... Останнім часом Руслана дуже заряджає...
Особливо з альбому подобаються треки: "Мій брат", "Шалала", "Рахманінов", "Яблучко", "Давай, грай / ОГО! ОГО!", "ЕЙ-форі-Я", "Край"...
Загалом подобаються всі, ДУЖЕ подобаються, але це ті, які я зараз найчастіше, і найбільше слухаю...

Пісні з альбому слухав в демо версіях на офіційному сайті і зрозумів, що це справді колоритна і сучасна платівка із слов*янськими мотивами. Назви пісень, тексти, музика, ідея загалом - це те, чого мені особисто бракувало і що наразі страшенно надихає мене:) Руслана стала кращою, іншою. Ей-форі-я - це те, що я відчуваю, коли чую мелодії з альбому. СУПЕР. Я в захваті. Це справжня українська БОМБА. КЛАС. Руслана - ти, як завжди не перевершана! З повагою, твій прихильник, Денис.
