Nikita. ChamelEon.

I think I won’t be seriously mistaken if I say that you won’t see among Ukrainian discs a lot of those similar to this creation of a strange, but fine fantasy. Now, it is not that easy to find this disc – and it’s a pity. And it is a pity not only that it is such rarity. It was a bright step forward in comparison with the general background – and, it seems, it became a forerunner for many current music implementations. Moreover – its originality suffices to not let it get lost among other interesting releases even now. Pay attention to who assisted the project – A. Kuz’menko (Kuz’ma), A. Pidluzhny (Nichlava), Shura "Gera", Lesya Herasymchuk... Do you remember? – tell me who your friend is... But – a bit about the music. The structure of the album fully complies with the name – every new composition unexpectedly changes the previous color and mood. Nice and talented. From joking – to dawning lyric poetry, from post punk – to Indian summer, from ethno-electronics – and to hot pavement. Actually, the thing is not only the music. Nikita sings so variously, either haughtily or painfully, lightly, naively, deeply, funnily – and at that you each time feel truth in her singing. She as though plays, but so sincerely as only children can – she does not pretend but really lives in it. And that is why – you trust it. Such discs are as if clothes of a Transparent Gipsy. Now beautiful – and then just fanciful. Made of a thousand shreds, each of them having its own story...
