Erko. Nostal‘hija. (Nostalgia)
Last time Severyn Palydovych's – Erko's – recordings were released in Ukraine approximately five years ago. At that moment that was virtually the only example of the modern Ukrainian chanson – in the, so to say, correct understanding of that term. Since then something did change, a few albums by different performers have been released having a more or less expressive link with this type of the variety song. But it seems that till now Erko remains the only one who works in this direction stably and consistently. And thus – has all grounds to be considered the best one there. However, clear business, it is not only about consistency – it is about that special manner in which the material is offered. This is some truly surprising combination of simplicity, sincerity and lyricism – plus, sure, the characteristic timbre of the performer's voice. All of that together creates a very warm, soft, transparent atmosphere, and it is the name of the new album – "Nostalgia" – that characterizes it, probably, best of all. Actually, just listen. If this is the first acquaintance – we believe, it will appear surprisingly pleasant. If you are already familiar with works by Erko – let us only note that the new meeting can hardly be expected to disillusion you.

Victor Pavlik. No Promises No Forgiveness. /digi-pack/.


Pavlik has come back with the album in English. There is the feeling that the album was created mainly for the guys' own fun – and this must be right. By the way, perhaps, this is because there are not only translations of the best songs by Pavlik of various years, but also some nice covers of world hits.

Victor Pavlik. Kimnata v seredyni moho sercia. (Room in the Middle of My Heart)


In our opinion, it is the album "Room in the Middle of my Heart" that turns out the best studio album among Viktor Pavlik's works – and it still remains such. So, it is very nice that this disc is now re-issued in good quality – we believe it has not lost its relevance, as good drinks and elegant clothes do not lose it...

Olexander Vasylenko. Meni z toboju dobre. /digi-pack/. (I Feel Good With You)


...here, one can hear both a capella compositions, and orchestrated ones, and those recorded in the variety art genre. And such variety, as a result, presents Olexander Vasylenko as a vocalist in a very positive light – because different styles, sure, imply different performance nature. And he has succeeded in this – easily, convincingly.

Olexander Vasylenko. Kvitka nichnoho sadu. /digi-pack/. (Night Garden Flower)


Olexander Vasylenko has released two more related, interconnected works: "Night Garden Flower" and "I Feel Good With You". They are dedicated – to the romance. Thus, it is nice that the term here implies a rather broad sense.

Volodymyr Luciw. Z Ukrajinoju v sertsi. (With Ukraine in heart)


For Ukrainians, it is already the highest time to get rid of the inferiority complex. Only those nations that do not yield their authenticity and culture will manage to withstand and preserve their historical prospect in the contemporary cruel, dynamic, technological and changeable world...

Mykola Hnatyuk. Znov. (Again).


He got his first real popularity approximately 30 years ago. And it was huge – as it was measured by the scale of the Soviet Union. Then there was the victory at the festival in Sopot – and here in those times this was considered a sort of a peak of a variety art career.

Erko does not possess the greatest voice but he does a good job in delivering the song. He has a nice choice of songs.

The title says it all!! Pure nostalgia and pure fun. I can see Erko sitting on a stool in a smoky bar singing about life and love. Nice variety of well known folk songs and other playful tunes. No pretense here, just heart felt singing, honest emotions simply presented. Interesting voice that really grows on you. Do not miss this unusual little gem! I look forward to acquiring more ERKO in the future.
