Masks (album)

Alexey Mazhaev from InterMedia agency gave the album a mixed rating. The reviewer named the song “Goodbye, Summer” written by Alexander Zatsepin as the best song on the album. “The neighbors on the track list are trying to reach for the work of ingenious masters, but it doesn’t always work out,” the reviewer considered. He also positively noted “tag talented stylists from“ Disco Crash ”, with whom Kristina Orbakaite recorded a beautiful and memorable“ Weather Forecast ”.” Majaev also appreciated the song “Piaf ... Last evening”, in which “under the French chanson with quotes from“ Padam Padam “Orbakaite managed to demonstrate a remarkable dramatic talent”. However, the reviewer considered that “in some other songs Orbakaite went even further and performed in a sort of sincerely familiar spirit”: “Three wishes”, “Hieroglyph of love” - a kind of conversation with the audience on the verge of good taste. ”“ Performances in this genre Alla Pugacheva [who is Orbakaite’s mother] masterfully succeeded, but when performed by a restrained Christina, they don’t look so convincing, ”says the reviewer ^[2] .

Dmitry Prochukhan from the Newsmuz.com website put the album 7 out of 10. The reviewer noted the title track of the album of the same name, “which pleases with quite interesting lines,” however, according to the reviewer, “the melody of the composition is rather boring and monotonous.” He praised the song “Once and for all”, which “delights with interspersed elements of oriental music and a memorable chorus.” Dmitry also noted a cover version of All Pugacheva ’s song “Goodbye, summer”, believing that “if the hit“ You are in the world ”Kristina Orbakaite at one time was quail almost better than the original, then another attempt to refresh her mother’s legacy turned out to be less successful. " “In the performance of Alla Pugacheva, the song sounds much more piercing,” the reviewer considered ^[3] .
