Rulada. Ye chas... /digi-pack/. (There is Time...)

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. However, some outlines could be defined: soul thickly mixed with blues-funk-rock passages with electronic pop tints - sometimes so thickly that soul retreats to the background. While, for example, the song "Mother" sounds like a modernized authentic piece - and even in the lyrics there is something that makes one doubt: it is really author poetry? Yes, author one - the author of all the lyrics is Artur Tsukanov, Rulada's husband. All in all, the album "There is Time" is a nice example of pop eclecticism that is not afraid to tread into the territory of other stylistic domains. Music not for dancing in clubs, but not for dim background either. The presentation manner is mostly joyful and resolute, although the album also contains several ballads, where lyrical intimate tones present themselves more clearly.
