Iryna Bilyk — Nova | Vinyl

An album-manifesto about changes inner renewal, and new feelings.

Iryna Bilyk — one of the key figures of Ukrainian pop music

Iryna Bilyk is a legendary Ukrainian singer whose work became an important part of the formation of new Ukrainian pop music in the 1990s. Her musical and professional career began in 1988, and just one year later she took part in the Chervona Ruta ’89 festival. Thanks to bold creative experiments, innovative arrangements, and a distinctive style, Bilyk became one of the symbols of the new Ukrainian music scene.

An important part of her creative work was songwriting. Her personal involvement in creating both music and lyrics gave her songs a distinctive openness and emotional depth, while Bilyk herself became one of the artists who helped shape a new generation of Ukrainian pop music.

Nova — an album about change and emotional renewal

“Nova” is Iryna Bilyk’s third album, released in 1995. It marked an important stage in the singer’s career and a period of stylistic renewal and emotional maturity.

The album explores themes of self-discovery, rethinking the past, inner struggle, and openness to new feelings. Expressive lyrics are combined with arrangements that were contemporary for their time, creating an atmosphere that continues to retain its emotional power.

The album features “Nova,” “Nich yak Nich,”, “Pislia Kokhannia,” “Bozhevilna,” “Ty Mii,” “Ya Rozkazhu,” “Khochu,” and “Hodi Vzhe,” as well as remixed and acoustic versions of the tracks.

“Nova” is part of the vinyl reissue series of Iryna Bilyk’s Ukrainian-language albums by TILKITAK Records.
