Frankly speaking, one remembers about that this is a debut album on two occasions only. First – before one begins listening to it: with the feeling of cautious curiosity, because one does not yet know for sure what he/she should expect from the disc. Second – already after listening: with the feeling of pleasant surprise, because far not always a debut sounds so qualitatively, confidently as here. Olena Popova strikes with universality, it is difficult to define where she succeeds better – in energetic "hits" or in lyric, delicate ballads. Here she sounds with a bright flash, promises an explosion – and does not cheat, grants powerful emotional splashes. And in a minute – softly, almost in whisper lulls in cozy intonations, causes quiet tremor with her ability to breathe transparently in thick autumn colors... Olena Popova sings dimensionally, she sings consciously – and every pause matters, and not a single nuance is there by chance. It seems that here the issue was not simply creating a beautiful decoration: this album invites to a dialog, offers to listen attentively to arrangement details. In the end, quite a bit of wonderful masters were involved into its creation – Eric Marienthal, Apple Tea, Andriy Konadkov, musicians from Skhid-Side, Z-Band, Aby MC, Sergiy Ovsyannikov, Yuri Shepeta. Have they succeeded? Yes. Harmonious and – nothing superfluous. Anton Jozhik Leyba (Hedgehog)

..despite the Oriental sophistication of the melodies and intricacy of the rhythms – it is very European music, in fact. And it is not so much about the jazz vein, rather about the ability to avoid the superfluous, which, with such richness and emotional intensity of the music, is a true feat.

Ukrainian music must have its national coloring, which was inherent in such variety art composers as Mayboroda, Shamo, Skoryk, Homa, Yanovsky, Ivasyuk. The song is the basis of our modern life – difficult, even cruel one. With the help of a beautiful song a person becomes better.

In his time, Igor Zakus became virtually the first jazz bass-player in Ukraine who released a solo album. Thus, the new album by Igor Zakus is what nobody seems to have done before in the Ukrainian jazz. And the word "song" in the title "Ukrainian Bass Song" appears far not by chance. Generally speaking, this is also an album of duets

If we speak about Yulia Roma – it is not just a new vocal album. This is truly an author work. What is the sparkle here, you might ask? And it is that this is a Ukrainian-language jazz album – and exactly Yulia Roma is the author of not only the music but also all the lyrics (a booklet with them, by the way, is added to the release). Such an exclusive thing.

...the basis of the album is vocal improvisations. And so diversified that every next play surprises you without fail. On the whole, it seems, the music balances somewhere on the verge of hard-bop, besides, it contains some transparent ethnic elements.

It is not enough to have a valuable, high-quality instrument – it is desirable to master it as well. Olga – has mastered it so that we can only be grateful to her. Especially when she sings in lowercase – then, the thought flashes that in Ukraine, presumably, there is simply nobody to compare with her...

...Yulia Roma's singing sounds just as that minute of silence before the sunrise, as if blue eyes of a child three-month old, attentively and easily... Music of this voice transforms jazz into soft crystal, it is so masterful that it does not attract any superfluous attention – but you cannot actually stop listening, noticing, feeling – and the sun rises, and the heart elate...
