What to listen to in January

Who else will cring the words “we must say goodbye” with the line “smiles and waves the capital”, except Eve Polnah? “Phoenix” - the second solo album of the singer - is called the name of the mythical bird, always resurrected from the ashes. The metaphor is clear-this is the return of the pop star, which spent on work on new songs for several years, and the central theme of the album, dedicated to mainly separation. Eva Polna, as always, who is a lot of unexpected ways to formulate the usual stories (“I am already nobody for you now, is not a girl, continuous inspiration”, “for each other, we are now officials”), flutters over his exquisite Dans-Pop-rhythms with an unexpected fork topic for such a significant topic. Parting on this album appears not so much a crushing tragedy as a bitter thing, but an urgent necessity caused by various objective reasons, and the lyrical heroine of Polna is struggling to preserve a smile on his face-at what cost, direct text is reported in the final issue “I can,” the most frank and wounded song. On the “Phoenix”, that is, Polna not only holds the plot, built according to all the rules of dramaturgy, but also continues to teach us to love and feel likely, subtle and sensitively, difficult and consciously, not only in happiness, but also in his absence. The album comes out not just good - also important and necessary.
