Interesting, I should say, movement has lately started in Ukrainian music. More precisely, has come on the surface – it started, sure, earlier. And it shows up in appearance of a whole new formation of groups. They play music that balances between rock and pop – each group usually has its own set of additional ingredients. They sing romantic songs – and at that try to write intelligent lyrics, not just sets of rhymed phrases. They often manage it not bad. It is not always serious poetry – but it contains personal opinions, own codes and interesting discoveries. Well, and the last thing – girls sing in these groups. Thus, as a rule, really sing, not just pronounce the texts. Very correct tendency. With pop-rock performed by men there are still problems in our country somehow, although the situation is still not hopeless. Well, and now for your attention is one of debuts of the mentioned tendency, the first album of the group "Platina", whose song "Bilet-Kino" the whole country must have heard, presumably. Music of the group is not heavy, but tends to rock sounding. From additional spices, most perceptible is the influence of hard-rock of the 1970-80s – but the group successfully mixes it with modern colors. Besides, a few songs stay aloof from the general direction – the album does not look monotonous. It is possible to separately emphasize the vocalist, Viktoria Vasalatiy. Her voice is live, plastic – and she feels well in songs of different styles. It is interesting to follow her intonations, she is able to positively surprise. Thus – we can congratulate the group on the good start.

"HEY-phori-YEAH" is an album of charged songs. These are 9 tracks, each of them having its own "sound of joy", "sound of drive". In old Slavic circle dances, plyaskas, hlopushkas and even liturgies, Ruslana discovered elements new for pop music...

"Sister Serena" is a young project, but it has already declared itself loudly enough. Everything played its role here: both the fact that three girls are in the center, and the fact that Diesel from "Green Gray" undertook the producing work, and high quality standard set from the very beginning, and that they write their songs themselve...

So, the third album. The one who tracks it from the beginning – probably, will notice that the group does not change masks but sticks in its motion with a certain direction. And that is why one can see very well that the sounding becomes more confident and, at the same time, transparent – in other words, quality noticeably increases..

From the moment of the release of the debut album, almost four years have passed now – we can state that during this time music by the group has noticeably changed. Not radically – this is again a sort of "pop rock with heavy elements" – but the quality has become different. The music has become more melodious, arrangement and performance – more transparent..

The new album is released in mid-winter, but its name hints at quite a spring mood – and the hint, it seems, is substantiated. If the debut work tended to "heavy blues", "Password: I Love" appears lighter, more romantic, transparent. However, it is still not the manner that has changed – one recognizes the group's sounding at once – it is the mood that has changed.

..the album is not homogeneous, it has both sadness and joy, and lightness, and twilight, and seriousness, as different expressions of the same – and beautiful – face. While there is no – fear, although words about fear still can be heard from time to time. However, everybody trying to follow his/her path honestly unavoidably reflects on that – and slender honesty can be felt in every song of the album.

It is difficult to explain this, because nothing has changed radically from outside. But somehow there is a persistent feeling that within this music there now sounds such confidence of one's own forces, ability to speak out simply, without superficial things – that it really looks like a new quality level.

It is pleasant that one step ahead was made with arrangements – "Light and Shade" sounds more voluminous, expressive, diverse. It is pleasant that Philharmonic Orchestra can be heard in the majority of the songs – and it is pleasant that this is not the only sparkle in the album. Music of the project is more and more tending to rock sounding – but remains light. And no doubt – its sounding brings pleasure.

Yanka Kozyr Orchestra not simply create music – they create their own mystery of sound, live and bright. And the music matter appears here so saturated, dense, enriched that it seems that it is visible, one can touch it, one can breathe it under water...

Talita Kum do not yield their habit – and this is good – to produce varicolored albums. "Show Business!" is again a kaleidoscope of moods, intonations, styles. From disco to rock-mainstream, from tender love lyrics to Freudian banter, from an unhurried ballad to spring drive – without ceremony.

What you see here now is a fresh word in matters of Ukrainian music releasing. "Star Collection" is a new format of premium releases, and it is not by chance that Alyona Vinnytska became the first robin of this experiment.

Sometimes – and you never know the next step this group will make - it is a real alternative. You see, an alternative simply means an open possibility of choice, an unlimited amount of possibilities.

"Gorgisheli" plays light rock today, that is high-quality pop music with rock coloring. And its quality is exactly the one that quite a lot of our modern pop-performers lack. Well, that’s not bad – "Gorgisheli" have great chances to quickly become one of the most interesting current projects in the style "pop-rock".

There is a new and bright reincarnation in it, a new look at things, a new gentle nuance. It looks like a flower, each petal of which has a different colour or shade, which emphasises the depth of other colours.

Year 2007 – Nota, a.k.a. Natalia Stadnyk, graduated from school. And – released together with her group the first album "Together with You". A beautiful album, I should say – of such album even experienced ones would not be ashamed. However, probably, "adult" groups just cannot afford anything of the kind?

If you like LAMA then you will like this CD. It is a great pop rock cd; an expressisve female voice; good romantic lyrics and great musical styling. Hedgehog's critiques are sometimes hard to follow but he is right on as far as this CD is concerned.
