Albums:

Iryna Shynkaruk. Tse moja i tvoja Ukrajina. (This is my and your Ukraine)


She appears on TV and radio not so often as, for example, Povaliy or Bilozir. And it’s a pity, because at her early twenties Iryna Shynkaruk is inferior to none of her more experienced colleagues. She can represent Ukrainian variety revealing its bright sides better than many singers.

Iryna Shynkaruk. Mira. (Measure)


"Measure" is not just a new album by Iryna Shynkaruk. Actually, this is not even an album in the ordinary sense of the word, it's something different. The singer says that this project currently does not have analogues in Ukraine – and, as far as we know, it does not indeed. Although, it would seem, the idea is extraordinarily simple and obvious..

Songs:

A Tender Night.


And this disc is like a letter, which gives notice that it will come soon. And it gives this notice exactly in a proper way, since New Year holidays are always light, agreeable, domestic and warm. Made with warmth in the heart - and that's why it gives out warmth.

Olexandr Smyk. Vsenoshna dlja dushi. Songs Vernissage. (Vespers for the Soul)


This is, actually, a collection of songs composed by Oleksander Smyk, which not only the author sings – one can hear here a dozen of various performers more. Including such well-known ones as Iryna Shynkaruk and Taras Zhytynsky. Thus, the disc has nothing to do with bardic songs – this is rather variety music.
