And, in any case, such coexistence virtually always negatively influences the creative part of qualities – it is much more difficult to undermine business qualities. Maybe, for this reason it is only now that Oksana Bilozir has been able to not only produce a second release of her previous works, but also to record two new discs at once.

Light melodies, rhythms – at some instant it may even appear that these are not arrangements but primary versions. The general sounding is soft and quiet, there is no haste. You listen – and willy-nilly light nostalgia for those times when it was possible to hurry so leisurely arise...

There are quite a lot of albums in the discography, even more – of the songs that have become very popular. Therefore, no wonder that the collection consists of two discs – and now you see the first of them.

There is no chronological principle here – the collection comprises songs both from the first albums by the singer, and from the most recent one. And this is right in its own way – with this compiling method the listener does not track the artist's development in time but perceives the mosaic as an integral picture. Well – the mosaics appear varied, colorful.

Having glanced at the name of the new album by Zhanna Bodnaruk, quite naturally, you might think that the best songs from her creative store are recorded here. She has been at the large scene for already about twenty years – consequently, she for sure has something to boast. But – no. That it, she does have something to boast, certainly, but this album is devoted to quite different songs.

The recording is luxurious – perhaps, one could hardy put it in other words. This is something that so far we have not had: a vocal and instrumental album of Ukrainian folk songs at the intersection of jazz, chamber and symphonic, variety art music (such as, for example, songs by Frank Sinatra or Astrud Gilberto)...

..It feels like listening to two albums simultaneously, one of which contains a colorful, complex mixture of styles, from soul and disco to electro-pop, with a bright admixture of classical training and jazz thinking. And the second one – blues, in all of its beautiful simplicity...

...here, she somehow combines elements of variety art, opera, folk and chamber singing. In various proportions, but on the whole – both interestingly and quite unexpectedly. At first sight, maybe, you will not say which there is more of – however, it only makes the process of acquaintance more thrilling.

..the entire album is recorded based on poems by Taras Shevchenko. It is unlikely that for many his poetry conjures purely lyrical images – but the music leaves you no chance. Even dramatic, heavy lines are revealed in a different light here, because the music permeates them with – peace.

"Patterns of stories, patterns of emotions, patterns of times and path... As well as everything is intertwined in life – so everything is intertwined in this album. I hope that you will like this little trip back into the past!" Yours, Russya

Honestly speaking, it is even strange how she succeeded in combining so quietly, without tension these different things – but she did succeed in that, no doubt. Moreover, all that together generates some new sensations – ambiguous but interesting. In any case, it seems that this disc is really able to make fans of Ukrainian variety art happy – because, evidently, nobody has yet introduced it in this form.

What is a little girl singing about? What is a marriageable girl singing about? And what is a woman singing about? Loved, abandoned, a business woman, a housewife, unruly, tender, poor, rich - what is a woman singing about? Isn't she singing about love?

She appears on TV and radio not so often as, for example, Povaliy or Bilozir. And it’s a pity, because at her early twenties Iryna Shynkaruk is inferior to none of her more experienced colleagues. She can represent Ukrainian variety revealing its bright sides better than many singers.

"At Dawn" – by the way, Marta's first solo album – is a moderate option for the combination of folklore and variety art. Actually, folklore motifs are woven into the music here – and ethnic connotations often loom through the performance manner as well.
