After his amazing concert performed on 24 August for Ukraine Independence Day in Lviv, the Okean Elzy frontman said that holiday time has not yet come for the band! In addition to the '20 Years Together' tour that will run until end of November, the rock group will work on a new album in February-March 2015.

To date, Slava has already composed 10 original music tracks and wrote 2 song lyrics: His work started before the Revolution in Kiev, but it was impossible for him to write from December 2013 to February 2014 because of the tragic events in Ukraine... Now he is working hard on lyrics writing.

The emotions that Slava felt - and that he still feels as the situation in Ukraine is worrying since several months - permeate all his writing. In the concrete, the biggest difficulty for him is to help people move from despair to hope.  He concluded: 'Oceans of tears have been shed since the beginning of this year... It's time to take action for positive changes and to think about the futur.'
