No doubt, one starts listening to the album "Wild Energy" just as the English-language version of the album "Amazon" that's unavoidable. But very soon one already feels that not only the language of singing is different here. And in a few minutes more one realizes clearly that he/she listens to a separate, absolutely new Ruslana's album. Exactly a bright, hit album, in which virtually every composition is strong in its own way. Although from outside it might sometimes seem that the difference from the first variant is just in a couple of details, "Amazon" became the messenger of great changes though interesting but still a test of forces, reconnaissance of other territories. Now this is obvious, because "Wild Energy", in its turn, is a weighty result of those very deep quality transformations. The disc should, obviously, become the head stone in creating the image of a new Ruslana and it has everything necessary for that. This is really another quality of music, and not only music Ruslana becomes a full-fledged international brand, which "catches" already not so much due to ethnic motives but to real professionalism in approaching the whole business. This could be briefly described as, say, emotional calm with steel muscles. Yes, there is really that wild energy here but it does not bustle at random. It has been tamed and today it is able to shift more than one mountain.

Cooperation of Astarta (a side project by Eduard Prystupa) with Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree bass-player) is just an example of such quality implementation of ideas, when first you do not even try to understand what the essence is, but just listen. Listen carefully, because it is delicious.

...Ukrainian authenticity is primarily the mystical energy of the earth and the complete harmony with the space. This is very powerful music! The new disc by ILLARIA is a kind of a calendar of Ukrainian music traditions. It includes cover versions of well-known folk songs based on authentic archival records.

...arrangements of this album very relevantly intertwine Ukrainian melodies with folk tunes of other nations. The palette is very broad from klezmer and to gospel and that, you know, positively impresses. Definitely "Alibi" grows over itself, and grows in an interesting way.

Careful attitude to derivative material, interesting arrangements, general saturation of the musical component with various optional but so appropriate decorations all of that is here. And all of that makes the album "Christmas for Two", maybe, one of the best pop-albums devoted to the theme of Christmas during the several recent years.

...the disc combines such directions as ambient, lounge and classics. The result orchestrated melodies accompanied by sounds of nature and modern electronic rhythms, the easy and cheerful atmosphere of leisure. Besides, all of that is also seasoned with ethnic colors not too thickly, but pleasantly.

For some time Ruslana, it seemed, had disappeared somewhere but it has appeared that she had not. It has been revealed that she just well, certainly prepared a new powerful explosion on the plane of the domestic ethnic pop. Well, and now the first robin, the first powerful explosive bullet here you are!

Rhythms of "Osiayni" bewitch with their soft, silent pace. Marta, in her turn, also obviously appears here not by chance. Her voice has a very interesting feature it somehow inexplicably combines in itself the past and the future. It seems to be native and somehow not from here.

i liked very much Ruslana and her music around 2004-2005. i bought her WD cd in 2005 and I was impressed by her unique carpathian rhythms and her wild dances.
but this new "wild" style was a bit disappointing. ruslana seems to have lost her magic through internationalizing and greed for american glory. now she seems to be the 53rd state of USA. I didnt buy her new cd, and probably i will not. i only listened to her new songs on internet and i must confess i liked only a few! :(
what a pity! i hope she comes back in the future with more original carpathian,slavic,balkan etc style and that she finds again her old good self. :)

The music is irritating. The Girl That Rules sounds like an old Britney Spears song. A lot of the lyrics don't make any sense, especially Cry It Out, and almost every track sounds familiar. Very unoriginal.

After two years of waiting and hoping, finally Ruslanas English album Wild Energy is released. Wild Energy is recorded at the famous Hit Factory Studio in Miami. The album contains a strong mix of different musicstyles, videoproduction and political/social commitment. Themes as freedom of thinking and being and the wish for Energy Independence and a healthier climate can be found in the words of the songs of Wild Energy.
On Wild Energy you can find a lot of different musicstyles and of course the significant great singing of Ruslana. Wild Energy shows that Ruslana dares to go further then the concept of Wild Dances which have been so succesful. She has clearly grown in her singing and performance. This results in an innovative and complete Ruslana album.
Wild Energy contains some great songs like Wild Energy, Heaven Never Makes Us Fall, Dancing In The Sky, Silent Angel and the fragile The Energy Of Love.
And fortunately there are also some wild songs to be found. Especially I want to draw attention to Overground, New Energy Generation and Heart on Fire (the opening of Eurovision 2005).
Surprising are the 2 duets with Missy Elliot and T-Pain. I liked the combination Ruslana and Missy. The duet with T-Pain has already been very succesful in several countries in Eastern Europe
Wild Energy is a great new album of great singer that deserves to be in every music collection. So buy one!!!
Do you want the whole Wild Energy experience I can only advise to buy the excellent Amazonka-CD as well. The Ukranian versions give a new dimension in experiencing the songs. And lat but not least you also get some great powerful songs like Vohon Chi Lid and the anthem Not For Sale which Ruslana initiated and performs for the new UN.GIFT campaign against human trafficking to which Ruslana is very closely connected.
