Word on the street
“For us music critics journalists, some records should be placed on shelves as iconic artistic creations that involve heart, soul and feeling.
Regardless of the lyrical concept, or, impactful arrangements of a work, we always think and analyse the essence presented by an artist.
And in fact, what you created in your new album is something sublime and magical for us, you managed to reach us from intrinsic and true way“
