This is the big revelation of the "Odyssee" sampler. The ukrainian band Fleur 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.
Fleur 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. Fleur 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. Fleur's music is like a touch from the soul, as the title "Prikosnovenie" means 'soft touch'.
