Luna (UA)

Born in Germany, Ukrainian indie singer-songwriter and model Kristina Viktorovna Bardash launched her music career in 2015 after posting a Facebook post with the music video for her single Ocen. The post was widely shared and less than six months later, all of his concerts were sold out.

Since 2016, Luna has released three albums, Mag-ni-ty, Ostrov Svobody and her latest, Zakoldovanniye Sny, which was released in early 2018. Over the past few years, she has developed a sultry and sophisticated sound, and her musical style has been praised for its fusion of electronic music with a melancholic mood, while citing 90s pop culture as a main source of inspiration; in particular the restrained but powerful rhythms characteristic of Cocteau Twins' music, which are echoed in most of her songs. Unlike her superficial mainstream-pop contemporaries, Luna's music is enchantingly poignant and quietly powerful, with hypnotic sounds, dizzying melodies, ethereal atmospheres and repetitive beats that carry you along in her trance-like lullabies. Her music is a unique thrill for all fans of electropop and indie-pop, even if you don't understand a word of Ukrainian.
