Many fans of Zemfira took the news with delight.

"Zemfira Talgatovna - sponsor of today's heart attack from incredible joy";

“What's going on!

What an incredible happiness! ”;

"Unreal.

As always, at the right time, ”they write in the comments to the artist's record.

“Life consists of happy moments.

The mini-album "Ah" is one of the happiest moments of this summer.

Thank you ”, - the Instagram user thanked the singer.

“Oh, Zemfira, oh, new album, oh good!”, - the owner of the Twitter account beat the name of the new album in her recording.

Another listener in a series of posts spoke in detail about her first impressions of the album.

She liked the lyrics (the author of the posts especially noted the order of the songs, which line up in an ambiguous love story), as well as the atmosphere inherent in the album.

“Indie pop sounds so warm and a little different.

Take the same "Mail", the full feeling that Zemfira is sitting in the country, playing the guitar and singing in person.

The atmosphere is so intimate, ”the network user noted.

Many people compare the release with the previous album "Borderline".

According to fans of Zemfira, in these two albums, the singer showed different facets of her talent.

“Zemfira suddenly released a new mini-album, it is the complete opposite of the full-length Borderline,” writes one of the bloggers on Twitter.

“Zemfira, of course, is cool.

Didn't like the previous album?

Do you want like the good old ones?

Nate, ”notes another.

Borderline is music, Ah is text.

Maybe that's why many people liked "Ah".

The good old Zemfira was returned to them, ”one of the authors of the platform suggested.

She also told how the release of the singer's new albums coincided with events in her personal life:

Borderline was released during the worst period of my life and literally reflected my condition.

Now "Ah" comes out at the happiest time for me and charges me with its warmth.

I don’t know anyone who would get into my mood the way Zemfira does, ”the blogger admitted.

Other users also compare "Ah" with the artist's early work.

"Summer" Ah "looks like one big song" Daisies "if Zemfira wrote it in 2021.

They came to me, ”one of the listeners writes on Instagram.

"Ah" will go well for 35-year-old girls who have not matured and are still hovering somewhere in the sky of London, "another blogger suggested in a detailed review of the album.

“Unexpectedly lyrical for her.

We've all just matured, ”said a Twitter user.

Among the abundance of positive reviews, there was still a place for criticism.

“Between the heavy bitterness of Borderline and the frivolity of Ah, I continue to choose the only thing from Zemfira of 2021 that could hook me seriously and deeply - the Austin track.

The rest of both releases, unfortunately, is not mine, "admits one of the commentators on Instagram.

“Something, to be honest, is passing Zemfira Ramazanova.

The new EP has only one interesting (and that old) song.

And, perhaps, she just should have remained the heroine of her time, ”one of the authors of Twitter shared his opinion.

We are talking about the composition "Goodbye" - Zemfira performed it at concerts since 2019, and at the end of June 2021 released a studio version of the composition in the form of a single.
