Nadya Dorofeyeva Honors Mykhailo Klymenko with Orchestral Rendition of ADAM's 'Slowly'.

Season Two Premiere of 'The Recording House'

According to TSN.ua: The second season of Tina Karol's project, 'The Recording House,' launched with a poignant performance by Nadya Dorofeyeva. She performed the ADAM band's song 'Slowly' in a tribute to Mykhailo Klymenko, a founding member who passed away in late 2025 at the age of 38. The performance was elevated by the accompaniment of the Academic Choir of Ukrainian Radio and the Honored Symphony Orchestra of Ukrainian Radio, creating a uniquely powerful atmosphere. This project is known for its high-production reinterpretations of significant Ukrainian music.

A New Arrangement and Personal Reflections

Dorofeyeva performed the track in a new arrangement crafted by Mishko Birchenko and Yevhen Pugachov. During her segment, she spoke about her musical journey and the significance of this moment, stating:

"I faced a responsible task: to perform 'Slowly' in a feminine way, but with the same sincerity that Misha performed all his songs." - Nadya Dorofeyeva

A particularly moving part of the program was an interview with Oleksandra Norova, Mykhailo's wife and co-founder of ADAM. Norova emphasized that "Nadya Dorofeyeva's feminine voice gave the song a sense of personal dedication." Project host Tina Karol also shared her thoughts on ADAM's music, noting:

"ADAM's music always celebrated 'love, Ukrainian-style.' Misha knew how to find precisely the right word, the right note—and you immediately felt that song was about you." - Tina Karol

Thus, the season premiere served not only as a musical event but also as a heartfelt homage to Mykhailo Klymenko, who left a profound mark on Ukrainian music.

The legacy of Mykhailo Klymenko, a key figure in modern Ukrainian music, continues through his songs and projects. Honoring his work in this format underscores the importance of cultural heritage and its influence on contemporary artists who strive to preserve traditions while interpreting them with new sounds. 'The Recording House' has the potential to become a significant platform for the further development of the Ukrainian music scene, highlighting the power of collective memory and artistic identity.
