On the fourth record, the former “future Zemfira” is beautifully dancing on tiptoe - the whole album “Behind the closed windows” was written in a watercolor brush on the window glass. Tatyana Zykina is trying on many different new studies: ethnic rock with Indian motives stretches languidly, triple-hoped keyboards are affectionately dripped, a weightless dotted pop-fan pulls the leg, a fiberly lazy pipe flips into a crystal pop-jazz arrangement-but all this is given as if through a special blurry filter, turning Each sound solution in a transparent ligature. “Behind closed windows” as if it is entirely intended for the magical moment when early in the morning somewhere beyond the horizon begins to dull the dawn more confidently, and it is scary to exhale once again so as not to frighten off this emerging beauty of the moment in which something inexorably ends, but something new begins inevitably. The portrait of this elusive moment from Zykina is not so much an outstanding picture of thin work as a charming watercolor - but many are ready to hang on the wall, so we will not frown.
