The new album by Boombox is another very significant reason to mention the year 2011 as one of the most yielding years for the non-ordinary Ukrainian popular music. No doubt despite the title, "Middle Age", no crisis is in question here. On the contrary.

Something is changing inside. The feeling is as if Andriy Khlyvnyuk submerges much deeper now, and peers much closer, and than suddenly opens up and appears probably even defenceless, vulnerable and because of that, however strange that may be, stronger. Even if it is painful. And this movement is there.

Regarding songs by Boombox, it has always been interesting to listen to the lyrics among other things, due to their disposition to (and the ability of) playfulness. But the further, the less verbal balancing they contain but more poignant senses, refined formulas, comprehensive observations. The new (mini)album "Naked King" is a very vivid evidence of that..

"People" is a work small in size, but rich in content. From heavy teen romance to some serious generalizations only possible when having gained experience. From quite intimate reflections to civil pathos. And in terms of the sheer sound, it turns out diverse.

You now have the opportunity to hear not only a new work by VovaZIL'vova, but also to meet an enormous number of his friends and colleagues in business. Among them, there are already known ones, and those who are not. Listen yourself there are really plenty of talented people able to create good and bright hip-hop of a high quality.

...And this man is hurt and cheered exactly as you are certainly, if it hurts and cheers you up. He simply remains himself and it impresses much stronger than any imaginary coolness. Because one feels it is not empty here.

It is very easy to hook your ear on the hip-hop by V.U.Z.V. First, there are no questions concerning the quality it has appeared both sated and simple. And the second reason is the texts. Combination of cute jive and easygoing humor the combination advantageous and rare.

Haplyk is just a couple of fellows, but their hip-hop creates the impression as if a few more engines were hidden behind the scene. At least, they have enough energy both for a club, and for a large audience.

Gutsul Kalipso play music that they personally name "Guzul-hop" and sometimes define it as a mixture of Bukovyna folklore, hip-hop and jazz. Judging by everything, the All-Mighty Jah has not gone round creative searches of these smiling fighters with his favorable attention either as a result, a very fanciful but also no less positive music freak has seen the light of the day.

...the original combination of rap, hip-hop and heavy-metal gives "De Shifer" the opportunity to even today not only keep pace with others, but also to be in the avant-garde of modern Ukrainian music.

This group was founded not so long time ago but still it was loud ambitious at once. Anyway it was not without a good reason...

...the guys combine seemingly incongruous stuff. The second album by the band turns out as a "salad" where the team aspires to demonstrate the entire range of their music's versatility. In addition to the ethno-hop traditional for "Krapka", in their songs the guys focus on such styles as trip-hop, sweet-jazz, and even boogie.

The debut album by Krapka sounds very rich, vibrant, inventive convincing. The three keys are used: hip-hop in relation to the lyrics, rock, and ethics (and not only Ukrainian) in relation to the music. And even the term "world music" will not say it all although it is quite close to the point.

The new album by Rolliks is not for those inclined to a moderate outlook. From the very beginning, the group's songs stood out due to their evident uncompromising nature and in the new album this evident fact has not disappeared.

"Samosaboyzz", no doubt, has its individual face. Contradictory, ambiguous but that is, in our opinion, exactly where the considerable potential is hidden: opened endings intrigue far greater, don't they?

This project, without exaggeration, has all chances to become in Ukraine one of the most interesting. "Stereoliza" combines pop music, elements of hip-hop, electronics, something of the disco mood and the mix appears actual both for Ukraine, and, literally, for the whole of our round Earth. It by no aspects concedes to the best world pieces of the genre.

Well, here it is, "S.P.A.M." and it is worth having been waited for. In the deciphered form the name of the disc sounds in this way: "System of Programming an Alternative Mind". At least this means that TNMKongo is really fed up with something.

...the songs, which are well-known to us, are performed in a jazz manner, and people say that Skhid-Side ("East-Side") is in fact one of the best jazz bands of Ukraine... Especially because in this particular case it is not only jazz, but also TNMKongo - this mixture turns out to be strikingly successful...

..this time they even manage without their signature prankish skits between tracks. Moreover, the symbolism of the number 7 is multi-layered for example, it is a symbol of the unity of Heaven and Earth, the soul and the body. And if one perceives lyrics of the new album from this perspective maybe, that could turn out a fairly good story of wandering and revelation..

The new variant, I think, is to unite those who liked "Guliaygorod" at once and those to whom it then seemed a bit too hard. Because the engine remains as powerful as before, besides the specificity of aerodynamics are now taken into account in the outlines, they have become smoother and swifter, but inside there are now much more cozy nooks. Result both the speed and comfort have grown.

The album sounds as if Sashko Polozhynsky has once again discovered his second breath. There is experience, there is comprehension and awareness but there is also a vivid, direct response to the world around. And the key feature of the new work is virtually its sparkle, reckless and sober at the same time. Self-irony in action. Without significant illusions

The new work sounds more weighted, carefully thought through, expressed. It sounds as though the smile is still for all the 32 teeth, but some knowledge that adds a faint note of sadness to laughter has started shining in the eye... Well, we'll see. Not everyone manages, having accumulated knowledge and wisdom, to look at the world with optimism but Flyzzza still does have such chances.

...stories told without excessive pathos, without picturesque poses our cities, our lives appear in them. Without moralizing, without pressure and it is for this reason, however surprising, that you listen to it very attentively. And it intersects with your own ideas, with your own stories and other peoples fragments and this album is no longer mono, but stereo.
