After immersing herself in complex synthesizer compositions for her sophomore album, 2018’s для FOR, the experimental pop artist Kate Shilonosova (aka Kate NV) felt compelled to return to a more corporeal mode of creating music. “I spent almost a year and half sitting, at best, or bending over the table,” the Moscow producer said. “My body rebelled, on some kind of physical level.” For the follow-up to для FOR, her forthcoming LP Room for the Moon, she has reassessed the capabilities of her own voice, a careening and playful tool that previously fueled the Japanese city pop-inspired arrangements on her debut with heady dopamine rushes.

将自己沉浸于第二张专辑（2018年的《для FOR》）中复杂的合成器编曲后，实验流行乐歌手Kate Shilonosova（又名Kate NV）觉得必须要回到一种更具形态的音乐创作模式。这位莫斯科制作人说：“我花了将近一年半的时间，但最多只能坐下或俯于桌前。” “我的肢体在行动上发出抗议。”在即将推出的《для FOR》 续篇《LP Room for the Moon（月光屋）》中，她重新审视了自己的声音潜能：这是一种莽撞却又令人愉悦的手段，在其初次亮相时就以令人兴奋的多巴胺加速了日本城市流行风格的形成。

While the chattering, spliced voices that bubbled up on для FOR between stretches of Buchla arrangements were more adornments than focal points, on “Sayonara,” the first single from her latest album, Shilonosova’s voice radiates brightly and takes surprising, sharp leaps that resemble a swooning Kate Bush. “Sayonara” is still cut through with Shilonosova’s precise touch, meticulously unfolding over angular guitar, tapping drums, and an imposing bassline. The mood is shadowy and slinky, building to a chorus where her vocals arc up as though they’re ascending a ladder. Shilonosova recenters her vocals and molds bold new shapes around them, crafting a languorous, dreamy take on synth-pop that’s her most hypnotic work yet.

虽然在专辑《для FOR》的歌曲中，电子合成乐片段间偶然出现的零碎细语更多地是作为装饰而不是歌曲核心，但在她最新专辑的首支单曲“ Sayonara（再见）”中，Shilonosova的声音散发出明亮光芒并完成了类似于Kate Bush（凯特·布什）般令人晕厥的惊喜转变。Shilonosova的精准乐感贯穿“ Sayonara”全曲，并在有角吉他、敲击鼓和雄伟的贝斯琴伴奏中精心展现。整首歌的情感阴郁而柔弱，在和伴奏组成的合唱团中，她的人声仿佛登梯般逐渐上扬；Shilonosova重新将其声音置于歌曲核心，并在伴奏大胆创新，制作出一种沉郁而梦幻的合成器流行乐，这是她迄今为止催眠效果最好的作品。
