Autor: Branimir Lokner
Iz New Yorka dolazi duo naziva Sashasonia, kojeg čine pevačica i čelistkinja Sonia Choi, i gitarista, basista, perkusionista i kompozitor – Saša Marković. Nakon vrlo kratkog perioda egzistiranja, te nastupanja po klupskim prostorima gde su testirali svojih preko 30 urađenih kompozicija, ulaze u studio, i snimaju 15 izabranih songova, koji će se naći na njihovom istoimenom debi izdanju. 14 numera su autorski radovi pomenutog Saše Markovića, za tekstove je zadužena Sonia ,dok je jedna numera cover, a reč je o standardu / klasiku – - “Autumn Leaves”. Na svoj način Saša i Sonja uspešno su utisnuli vlastiti pečat u muziku koja je ovde predstavljena. Potencijalni konzument će se suočiti sa kraćim numerama, uglavnom srednjeg ili malo bržeg srednjeg tempa, koje karakteriše “mračnija” atmosfera, ali ovde nikako nije reč o nekakvom dark projektu ili generalno sličnoj ideji. Žanrovski i izvođački, Saša i Sonia su na terenu indie folk / acoustic, roots i world musica, sa jasnim autorskim iskorakom i vrlo svežim realizatorskim idejama. Aranžmani pesama su koloritni i takođe idejno raznovrsni. Pesme su slušljive i prihvatljive konzumentima i fanovima različitih muzičkih aspiracija, što je svakako dobro i pohvalno. Sam album nema slabijih strana i ovaj duo je nesumnjivo uradio dobar posao.
Ocena: 8, 5 / 10
Out of New York City comes an pretty interesting female-male duo named Sashasonia, consists of Sonia Chui – voices / cello, and Sasha Markovic, who is guitarist, bass player, percussionist and composer. During the brief period of existence, they have recorded over a 30 songs, tested’ em in club performances, and after that decide to put a 15 tunes in their actuelle “S / t debut. 14 of present songs are authors works of mentioned Belgrade born Sasha Markovich, and only one track is cover, and this is a well known standard / classic – “Autumn Leaves”. Most of present songs are done in mid to mid up tempo, added with darker but in the same time pleasent performing atmosphere, fulfield with clever arrangments includings too. A songs are listenable, acceptable at the same time , and recomandable for the fans of different musical tastes. We can label its offering as a sort of indie folk /acoustic, roots and world music, but there’s no doubt that Sasha and Sonia sound as a coherent team with original approach and same performing realization. Well done, and this is also a modern product , without uninteresting or weaker places.
