Lama. Svitlo i tin‘. (Light and Shade)

After release of the debut album – and it had an explosion effect in Ukrainian music space – Lama, certainly, did not intend to stop. Actually, the audience just would not forgive their stopping. They impatiently expected for the second album from Lama – and expected that it would not just repeat, but would surpass the first disc (due to which, by the way, at the end of 2007 Lama won the title of the Best Ukrainian Act by the version of MTV Music Awards!) And – the expectations began coming true quickly, for two compositions from the second album at once, namely "Light and Shade" and "You Know How It Hurts", became the most demanded ones on Ukrainian radio for the last few months (to say nothing about participation in the sound-track to "Sapho" movie). However, now you can hear that yourself – ambitions of these musicians had a serious basis to rely on again. It is pleasant that one step ahead was made with arrangements – in comparison with the first album "Light and Shade" sounds more voluminous, expressive, diverse. It is pleasant that Kyiv 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, to some experiments with mixes – but remains light, that is why it is not easy to define it. But no doubt – its sounding brings pleasure.
