With her first full-length record in over a decade, Julia Vorontsova embarks on a deep and sensual adventure in her native Russian-tongue, singing ballads in a style called ‘Bard’. She is US-based, but this album still captures the intense and destructive underground movement which developed in the Soviet Union. Give it a listen if you are trying to get serenaded and freaked out at the same time. FCC Clean (maybe not, but it’s all in Russian!)
