Ukrainian trio Polyvoda has crafted a mesmerizing debut EP titled “Queens,” offering a captivating blend of jazz, rap, neo-soul, and funk elements. With each track, the band invites listeners on a sonic journey that is both exhilarating and introspective.
The EP opens with the titular track, “Queens,” a poignant tribute to the multifaceted nature of women. The anonymous female vocalist’s ethereal voice glides effortlessly over a backdrop of lush instrumentation, creating a sense of empowerment and reverence. This song sets the tone for the entire EP, showcasing Polyvoda’s ability to seamlessly weave together disparate genres into a cohesive musical tapestry. Following “Queens” is “Drunken Road,” a hypnotic composition that delves into themes of hedonism and self-discovery. The intricate instrumentation, punctuated by rhythmic drum patterns and soulful keyboard melodies, draws the listener into a trance-like state, evoking images of winding roads and late-night adventures.
The EP also includes two previously released singles, “Bonfire” and “Homeless,” which further highlight Polyvoda’s experimental prowess. “Bonfire” is a vibrant fusion of rap and funk, featuring dynamic basslines and infectious grooves that are impossible to resist. Meanwhile, “Homeless” takes a more introspective turn, with its minimalist spoken word introduction giving way to intense jazz-rock instrumentation. “Queens” is a testament to Polyvoda’s artistic vision and versatility. Each song on the EP offers a unique sonic experience, combining innovative production techniques with heartfelt lyricism. With their debut release, Polyvoda has firmly established themselves as a dynamic force in the indie music scene, promising even greater things to come in the future.
