1. Alsu "You are light"The last few years, Alsu records have not so much new creative statements as unobtrusive reminders that Alsu Abramova is not only a wife and twice a mother, but also a singer. The album of the lullabies “Fairy of good dreams”, the English-language album “ Inspired” , lying on the shelf for ten years and released only for fans, the “Native Speech” record, collected from Tatar folk songs and copyright variations on their topic-Alsou seemed to hide all the time at some additional concepts. In such a coordinate system, “You are Light”-the first pop plate of Alsu in six years, since the album “The most important thing”. Then the singer seemed to be a hostage to the crowd of producers who made her thoughtlessly eclectic plate of completely non -fitting songs; Now everything is exactly the opposite. “You are light” flows with a leisurely stream of continuous ballad molasses - for eighteen (God you are my) tracks, the altargic pulse of the album only quickens twice, on the measured watercolor fan of the little thing, “Stay” and its own remix in the tail of the album with incomprehensible quotes from the Bee Geees . Separately, each local song, probably, will probably be able to look beautiful, kind and felt ballad (especially if you can close your eyes to arrangements in the spirit of the Hollywood 80s and the abuse of a saxophone, as if escaping from a certain image of a collection of Romantic Collection )-but withstand 16 such ballads and do not want to immediately want Only the cleanest and most naive souls on the planet will be able to grunt vodka and sniffing yesterday’s toe.
