| | This is the big revelation of the "Odyssee" sampler.
The ukrainian band Flëur arrives with a melancholic pop album.
Two fairies share the sing: Elena, the dreamer, and Olga, the passionate.
The instrumentation blends piano, cello, bass, drums, acoustic guitar and flute for 13 charming songs.
Flëur comes from Odessa, a city from south Ukrainia, near the Black Sea. We discover through their music the slavish melancholy, a refined lyricism and the taste for beautiful melodies.
Flëur are highly talented while they offer us a contrasted music, dark and luminous, joyfull and sad at.
Oniric and energetic atmospheres emerge from this album leading us into a solar whirlwind.
Flëur's music is like a touch from the soul, as the title "Prikosnovenie" means 'soft touch'.
