May be, I am wrong, but listening approximately to the second song recorded at this album you feel as if now Ani Lorak has finally determined the direction, in which she will continue to move on. And this direction is somewhere in the middle between a teen-age star and a pop-girl. Deliberate or not, this finding of the happy medium has evidently influenced the album sounding. It – the sounding – is rather balanced, suspended, assiduous, washed and shiny, put on high heels and turned to the sunset with its face. Personally I find it to be good, because generally speaking, the vocal potentialities of Ani Lorak allow her in full to have enough ambitions as for popularity, which may be wider than simply to be popular on the territory of Ukraine. Still, time will show if a European listener shares this opinion. Yes, a quiet one may share. Because I find this album to be a real – without any exaggeration – embodiment of musical recusancy. From which a particle “non” has been carefully crossed out – finally, in our time, it is a very demonstrative state of affairs. That’s why it undoubtedly has every chance to be taken correctly.

The considerable success of all Ukrainian language albums by Iryna Bilyk that had their second release recently - became another proof of that her significance can hardly be over-estimated. But the songs in Russian that she sings now also enjoy success - that's a fact. Thus, it is no surprise that the double album of the best songs includes all songs in the both languages.

The first album had an aftertaste of a tender urban romance – quiet singing, soft poetry, lightly pensive mood. Well, and now Lilya Vavrin colors her music with modern tones, satiates songs with dancing rhythms, constructs swift melodies. Briefly, she creates energetic pop music – however, not deprived of lyricism either.

As in 2008 Ukraine is represented at Eurovision exactly by Ani Lorak – this mini-album has seen the light of the day actually simultaneously with the latter's departure for the competition. Actually, it is the title song – "Shady Lady" – that has become the song for the competition. But what is interesting: disregarding the rather moderate size, the disc can, probably, be considered one of the best ones in Ani Lorak's discography.

Frankly speaking – we have long not heard absolutely new names in the domain of the lyrically intellectual song. Such what would be not quite rock, and far not pop. New albums – yes, but new people – for approximately a few months already, if not years, we have not had novices here. Well, meet – Tanya Gosudareva, it seems, has the mission of correcting this historic injustice.

The fact is that since her last album "Slidom za toboju"(Following you) had been released interesting and promising Gaitana became one of the best pop-singers of Ukraine. Now the quality grows not from album to album but from song to song – and this staggers a lot.

...it seems as if the songs were recorded not by one group, but they worked with each single song separately. May be, it was not so easy to do that – taking into account the fact that in general this is a dancing music. And the result, that is, the album itself, is light and free from any extra burden...

In spite of a rather variety wrapping, there appears the feeling that you listen to not ordinary variety art, but something similar to city romance. The more so that under the wrapping quite a lot of shades are hidden, which turn listening of the disc into something more interesting than simply entertainment.

There appears the impression as though she sings with accompaniment of only a guitar – although in fact music accompaniment has nothing to do with bard songs. Such combination of light, variety music with concentrated, attentive singing – creates an interesting effect.

The album consists of a dozen of lyrical songs, a dozen of different but light moods. For even during separation the mood may – and, I think, should – remain light. If you accept it easily – it goes easy. The river should flow, shouldn't it?

Well, we have an opportunity to congratulate ourselves – and in particular old fans of Natalia Mogylevs'ka. The external interval in her work has appeared rather long, but it was worth waiting for. She has arranged for herself a really bright, powerful returning.

Ani Lorak today is already such powerful, professional singer that these new songs in her performance have just violent emotional content. And I think that there is also no need to tell again about how versatile and interesting this album is in the aspect of style – it is nice that we already have qualitative pop music.

...with such voice as hers, it is also possible to sing with the same success folk songs, R'n'B, soul, and disco, and try and search for something in jazz. Having listened through the album, I suppose, you will also consider that such a bright start is just obliged to have not less bright continuation.

Still, may be, you will simply like the voice, the intonations or the general patterns. Is it bad, what do you think? Personally I am not against the faces like that to predominate in our pop art.

I had actually never heard of Ani, before I entered this webside. But after the great succes I had had by starting to listen to wonderfull Ruslana, I wanted to try with some more Ukrainian music. And it became Ani Lorak. I really think she has a great voice, and there is some pretty good tracks on the cd, but i would like some more of the rock numbers, there is in the start of the cd.
But as a hole, it's a great cd. <3

Just can't agree with one particular reviewer from Sydney, Australia. "Smile" is an English language version of another album and, for whatever it's worth, every criticism made in that review can be made about just anybody, from Deep Purple to Madonna. Personally, I think Ani fares very well in English. Her voice is strong enough to carry the lyrics and the tunes are bright and catchy.
This CD rocks.

What a FANTASTIC album. Ani Lorak has by far one of the best voices i've heard and this album is a testament to her talent. Modern music that really catches you from the beginning to the end of the CD. The most catchy songs are the Ukrainian ones I must say especially Rozkazhy with its haunting melody. You can tell that the music was written from the heart and by none other than Karolina herself.
Overall, I recommend this album to anyone who wants to hear pure talent with great music. Ukraine has a real STAR in Karolina and everyone should hear her music.

Ani is thee best singer out there, she is beter than the singers in USA.
How do I describe Smile. Well Ani's music on this album is energetic, vigorous , brilliant .It's easy to jam to in the car , while exercising , or just about anywhere you go. She made a huge step singing in English, and she did a great job. I still love when she sings in Ukrainian. I will recommend this CD , and all of Ані Лорак CD's . She is a Ukrainian jem, and should be cherished as a jem. I have no complaints at all. Two thumbs all the way up.
Peace , Love , and Ані for life.

Ruslana drew my attention to Ukrainian music in the first place, and so I came to UMKA, where I tried everything. Ukrainian classical, folk, electronica, 'ethno-pop' (!) etc... and I've loved it all. Well, almost all. Tellingly, Ruslana's English language debut was the first record I bought here that I didn't like. I found it to musically bombastic and lyrically naff. Ani Lorak fares better on the musical front, but I think there are still some really terrible striving-to-please-the-American-market moments on this record that make me wonder -- as a Westerner 'out here' seeking Ukrainian music for its difference from what's around me everyday -- why must Ukrainian artists try to give me that same thing?
Don't get me wrong. Musically, there's a solid bank of catchy pop-rock tunes on here, and there is a plesantly distinctive guitar sound. But lyrically and subject matter wise, there's plenty that sucks. I don't wanna hear Ukrainians opining about 'who will take me to the prom?'! Even when songs are not so overtly tailored to American teenworld, the lyrics are just badly expositional and occasionally rendered laughable by Lorak's heartfelt vocalisation.
I'm sorry to say it but there's no way around it - the bank of Western song lyrics is so greatly established by now that the standard of lyric on this album will never cut it in that element - but that's what is required if a non-Western artist is really determined to throw in in that market. With much better lyrics, I can imagine having no problem with this record at all. Lorak can aim her music where she wants, though I'd prefer if she didn't feel it necessary to join this particularly bloated market. With music this good and her voice, she can go for it -- but not with these lyrics. Nope!
