Vakarchuk - "At Night"

Solo album, the leader of the "Okean Elzy" in Ukraine came late last year, and then came the Russian emphasis. No relation to the energetic rock fashion, he obviously has no ... CD. "The Mystery of Sound" in 2009. It would cost to get two quotes. "I do not call it a classic vocal jazz album, I understand that I am not a jazz singer, and I have never, but to maintain the connection swing game and what I do, I think it's something new and interesting. "And another:" I have always in the rock 'n' roll was, but I started with a large symphony orchestra, all rock 'n roll already offered ... After such possibilities of the orchestra to the distorshenu strange. return. Perhaps the age of what? "Ironically, they both do not belong Vakarchuk. First - Andrei Makarevich at the "Creole Tango Orchestra", the second - Nikolay Noskov about working with a symphony orchestra. Vakarchuk - "At Night" Vakarchuk itself shows the evolution of the current Ukrainian music attracts the adult is not rock 'n' roll ... But the public might say, in the words Makarevich and Noskov - I grew up, I would like adult music. Calling the album "At Night" Jazz is not possible. Still ahead of us, popular music, only in the orchestra and jazz easy storage. Vakarchuk sings just like we in the "Ocean Elzy" hear used. But he wants to change the atmosphere around the sound of his voice, and understand the album, to be in that direction. "At Night", as if divided into two parts. The first six songs - like jazz. Then the song "Dzvony." Then - as if orchestration. Singing in a jazz manner Vakarchuk not want, so we hear a voice accompanied by rhythmic variety (often subtly-funk). A "Jazz" included on the losers. And then write music producer, keyboardist "Okean Elzy" Milos Jelic comes about as you can. And with him and the others. Luckily used bassist "Ocean" Denis Dudko to play it on the bass, and it is in the jazz band. Its share of healthy anarchy Iranian friends Milos make plays in "non YDI" at numerous percussion (perhaps even redundant). But the musicians in the project are so many that it is impossible to be mentioned. It's not that they manage a new word in jazz. But jazz spots to hear, at least tasty and tender. "Dzvony" - an unconventional attempt to make Vakarchuk lozungovuyu song in an odd size 7/8. Once he ceased singing, comes razdolbaysky Balkan melody, completely destroyed inevitable pathos Vakarchuk. The second half of the album - cinematic strings, highlighting the most prominent melodic finds Vakarchuk. Finds little to hide. Not Dunajewski and Soloviev Gray. But to destroy the atmosphere of warmth and intimacy National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine not. Vakarchuk reached important - his voice fits the seemingly formulaic tremolo and pizzicato of the orchestra, and it's something new. Svyatoslav sings earnestly, sincerely. And coupled with the clean sound of violins occurs suddenly phenomenon of pure art. If Vakarchuk opened and was able to compose great melodies and sing to her creepy way - we have a great new artist. Unfortunately, over the head, he did not jump. But even in this gesture of enlightenment Ukrainian Rockstar many waves of honesty, emotion and clarity.
