Self-described as Retro with lots of words, Vika Cyganova comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Russkaia vodka isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. five years ago, Vika Cyganova briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Brat’ia slaviane”. To me Vika Cyganova is the best ever.
Brat’ia slaviane - Okay, I just talked about depth. CHudo p’ianoe - I just love it. Cerkov’ belaia is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. A great put together song. Eh, raz is so unique, as each one of the songs is. I find myself hearing bits of Grozd’ia riabiny here and there throughout my waking hours. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Mamasha zhizn’ is a striking and quite long song. Ochi chernye is astounding. Russkaia vodka - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Schast’e bylo - This one is lively and fun.
