Шановні артисти!

 

Вітаємо з нагоди Дня Святого Миколая! Минуло два роки з того моменту як ми запустили iUA Music і матеріально та організаційно пов'язаний лейбл iRus Music, так що ми подумали поділитися накопиченим досвідом і спостереженнями про цифрові продажі музики і потокові послуги.

 

- Великі потокові послуги стали зменшувати позиції. Napster недавно злилися з Rhapsody, а європейський Spotify увійшли до лав північноамериканського ринку. Більшість потокових роялті наших артистів приходять від Spotify.

Lviv, Ukraine. Recent events in Japan shocked the world and the magnitude of this tragedy forced people to reflect about our existence.

Kharkov, Ukraine. The meaning of words are sometimes difficult to convey in written text, for example a letter or a poem. Some words can only be clearly understandable and accessible to people by transferring their emotions. As for State of Mind (Состояние Души) - it's not just a group of words, it's a melody consisting of notes which are impossible to read on paper.  You can only feel them by passing them through your mind! State of Mind's first album "Alive" captures their lyrical message and the quality of these musicians.

Kyiv, Ukraine. Tender singing with a dash of light sadness, that's how we associate romances. Ukraine has a great number of such songs. On the album "Ukrainian Romances & More" by the duo Belov & Leshchenko, you can find such masterpieces of Ukrainian music, as well as some of the world classics such including the ever famous Besame Mucho.   

Melodies of Ukrainian romances touch something in our soul and this feeling is set to music.

Moscow, Russia. Although Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock 'n roll music which emerged in the early 1950s, more recently it has since revived and begun to gain momentum. Rockabilly has joined the ranks of established musical subcultures in the United States and around the world. You can find it where you sometimes least expect it, for example in Russia where the Beat Devils are making a name for themselves.
