Some hot tracks of past April

April has seen new videos by 2 Ukranian girls: Katya Bazhenova and Ruslana (2004 Eurovision winner).

Katya Bazhenova - "I'm a model"

The video by Alan Badoev, top Ukranian and Russian music video maker, reveals Katya shining at a new angle. A professional model and dancer is telling her story of being in the industry and not always taken seriously as a person with her own thoughts and feelings.

Also there's a new single from Ruslana, a Euro - 2012 anthem "Davaj graj", which in Ukranian means "Go play".

Ruslana - "Davaj graj"

And looks like a Belgian dance-diva Kate Ryan has prepared something special for us! Last week she did a video shoot at the London's night club "Anaya". By the photos uploaded on Facebook I can assume her next single is going to be "Robots", though not sure of course:)

Derivative but cool:Erika - Paparazzi

It's derivative and predictable but the post-production is incredible

I would not mind such "Propaganda"!:)

Kate Ryan - “Babacar”: It fits her like a glove

France Gall… Kate Ryan… We can compare those 2 absolutely different singers from completely different generations, but… It is a fact Kate is one of the most successful cover makers in the world. “Desenchantee” and “Libertine” by Mylene Farmere, “The Promise You Made”/”La Promesse” by Cock Robin, “Voyage Voyage” by Desireless and a European pop-smash “Ella Elle L’a” - all those songs by Kate Ryan had an impact on the charts and were covers! Who else in the world has that amount of covers in their hit box?

A lot of people on You-Tube say Kate has no talent and can only recycle old hits, but I don’t think so.. In my opinion she’s an extremely talented musician, the one to have tamed the piano and the guitar and more importantly her most precious gift - voice. Her original tracks may be underestimated in Europe, Canada and US, but at least she’s still producing high-quality music with that famous Kate Ryan flavor.

“Babacar”, another France Gall cover… The song is indeed HER song as if it had been written specially for her.

Adobe Muse and Adobe Edge

Finally downloaded beta versions of Muse and Edge from Adobe Official website, those 2 programs allow graphic designers to build websites and rich internet applications with no knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, Flex or ActionScript… I’ve been familiar with Photoshop, InDesign and Flash Catalyst only so far, and starting Muse and Edge with no really adequate Help documentation or courses like Classroom in a book seems daunting for me, so cannot really provide any good feedback on the programs, as I’m still learning. Anyway managed to read several reviews on the net and a lot of designers complain Muse only allows to create fixed-dimension websites which is not really flexible…

For those interested you can have a look at an official Adobe website and read more.
