A year after the digital release, the debut album by KAZKA is finally officially released on physical media. The release is of high quality, it's nice to keep it in your hands – well, and the fact that the album as such is worth paying attention to is obvious: in 2017, the project was one of the brightest debutants of the Ukrainian pop scene, and when the album was presented, it was already listened to far beyond Ukraine. Why? The beautiful voice, competent arrangements with unobtrusive ethnic motifs wrapped in adequate, relevant sound layers, the lyrics, where many can read a clear and appealing story. Plus, there is something else, some kind of non-primitive simplicity that makes these songs capable of "sticking" without making one sick. And while initially it was probably lack of the background that went off – the project jumped out of the blue – in combination with the truly high-quality sound, now, after the rather dramatic participation in two Eurovision selection competitions, KAZKA's story has gained new colors. But this is also good – when there is something to talk about...

This album is a response to expectations of everyone who realized that Tina Karol was capable of much more than what she had so far demonstrated. Stuff of that kind was something that not only Tina, but the entire Ukrainian "first echelon pop scene" missed. A test (for herself and her habitual audience), a pilot..

There is no provocation, aggression – the man is just doing his job the way he likes. Braided in an intersection of several styles, his music attracts attention, above all, precisely with this – no pretending and calm confidence. Lyrically, unobtrusively, transparently to a degree..

Given the amount of work that Filatov is doing for a number of other performers, it is even surprising that he has enough energy and inspiration for his own project. However – he has enough. Enough energy, and imagination, and taste. Always in motion, in the process of development, always better than before – or, at least, different. The new album is an excellent illustration of this vector.

..Even in the ballads – this inner power cannot be hidden, it can be perceived almost physically. Perfection is a lie, of course – but nobody forbids strive and work for it. The Hardkiss is obviously one of those who aspire and work hard.

This album has become the first solo work by Alloise after she left Gorchitza live project. As a result, it turns out adequately light and gentle, vigorous without tension, dense – and, so to say, cultured. Advanced lyrical music equally appropriate in a club, and on the scene of a large open-air.

..it is clear this was a considerable piece of work – but it is the "work" that you actually don't hear. One can hear – clear energy, passion, and the ability to present simple lines in a truly delicious way. However, not all the arrangements are that straightforward and, given the "lightness" of the genre, this approach especially pleases.

In music – as elsewhere – there are revolutionary and evolutionary steps. But in fact the line is not on the "r", but – on the implementation quality. The project "Onuka" in general, and the album "Onuka" in particular – are exactly about the implementation quality...

"Kazaky" have preferred the English language and not the pop but rather the club style. Perhaps, their successful collaboration with Madonna played a role in this (shooting in the clip for the song "Girl Gone Wild") – anyway, "the guys on high heels" are clearly aimed at the "fashionable" audience...

In fact, "Kazaky" became famous as a dance project – they even inspired a whole wave of imitations and copies of their style and the scenic image. But in this case we are talking about a music album – no video bonuses, just music. The publisher identifies it as IDM – we think, rightly so.

This music is more sharp-edged than, say, new-age, it contains more rhythmic patterns. But, at the same time, it is softer and slower than techno, it is put on a transparent, weightless basis. Well, and sounding of the violin adds, sure, pleasant tints.

Actually, disco could sound like this if it were given to a DJ who has already been sweating for two or three hours at the rack but has not yet lost the ability and inclination to experiment. That is why quite organically Arabic and African percussions and Jamaican rhythms, as well as "black" reciting and the "submarine" atmosphere are intertwined into the general canvas – for this is lounge, and diversified one.

...first, it is a frankly high-quality product – and, although now in Ukraine there is already quite a bit of high-quality electronic music, there are still more clubs, therefore the demand is only growing. Well, and secondly – however surprising, there is still not that much of club music with live vocal until now, if that is not outright waste.

Alexey Gorchitza creates tracks, which, in spite of their dance-orientedness, require from the audience something more than just readiness to shake soft parts of their body. Presumably, it will not be a mistake to name this – intelligent dance music, which in very nice proportions combines frisky rhythms and light, flexible melodies.

Their songs already long ago started being interesting for Europeans, they feel well in the USA, resonate in the Internet community – one could only be jealous. Look: on MySpace portal, this project took the 2nd rate in the world song competition conducted there, and Natalie Dali also won in a competition for the title of Miss MySpace USA in December 2009.

"Vintage" fashion has not gone round electronic pastures, this has long been clear. Well, and if one takes lounge – as it is in this style that the debut album by the group "Airport" is recorded – here vintage even looks absolutely natural. And, possibly, it is exactly due to this that music of the album acquires some additional soft depth, expressivenesses.

The new album – despite its light sounding – turns out not even colorful, but rich, thought over not just superficially – thus, quite diverse. This applies to the singing, the manner – this also applies to the arrangements. Tayanna, obviously, places the quality bar high.

Rulada is the stage name of Iryna Tsukanova, a teacher of singing, founder of her own school of singing based on the author's method. Being aware of this, sure, one expects the debut album to be a vivid demonstration. And Rulada really masterfully controls her voice, she easily combines various emotional colors and techniques even within one song..

You now see already the fourth album released with the name of Rosava on the cover – and it is again absolutely different from all previous ones. However, there is still something in common: this is again – cool. Beautiful.. If all Ukrainian pop-music stuck to such level – the word "muzak" would, probably, quickly disappear from our language..

Briefly, it is possible to say that the new album by Maria Burmaka is an example of the high-quality and, if you wish, intelligent modern Ukrainian pop-music as it might be. Nothing to say, it is good when not only an album has its own face, but – every song in it.

Frankly speaking – we have long not heard absolutely new names in the domain of the lyrically intellectual song. Such what would be not quite rock, and far not pop. New albums – yes, but new people – for approximately a few months already, if not years, we have not had novices here. Well, meet – Tanya Gosudareva, it seems, has the mission of correcting this historic injustice.

...it seems as if the songs were recorded not by one group, but they worked with each single song separately. May be, it was not so easy to do that – taking into account the fact that in general this is a dancing music. And the result, that is, the album itself, is light and free from any extra burden...

The album consists of a dozen of lyrical songs, a dozen of different but light moods. For even during separation the mood may – and, I think, should – remain light. If you accept it easily – it goes easy. The river should flow, shouldn't it?
