1. “This Floating World” – “A haunting and meditative experience”
“At the core of This Floating World is Irinushka’s poetry, a testament to her dedication to the written word and her unique ability to communicate complex emotions through both sound and text.”

“Kuzminsky’s voice is at once ethereal and grounded, resonating with a warmth and fragility that amplifies the song’s themes. Her vocal performance has a mesmerizing quality that draws listeners into the intimate emotional space of the piece”

“A testament to Irinushka’s commitment to truth and emotional authenticity in her work”

“A work that resonates with a broad audience, especially those who have experienced loss or feel deeply attuned to the delicate balance of life and death.

“Connected Disconnection” – “a profound meditation on the modern condition”
“This is music with a mission – deeply felt, beautifully executed, and impossible to ignore.”
“Irinushka’s “Connected Disconnection” is not just a song – it’s an artistic statement, a wake-up call wrapped in an ethereal, unsettling sonic experience.
