Hit of the day
Заново ksushenka.
ksyushenka. is a Saint Petersburg artist whose songs have resonated far beyond her home city. She works at the crossroads of alternative music and modern pop: one track may sound soft and acoustic, the next dense with post-punk or synthwave energy and an unmistakably urban mood. Her music is not about polish — it is about feelings that are hard to say out loud.
Her lyrics often explore inner fatigue, longing, rebellion against routine, and the search for identity amid the noise of a big city. The songs rely on direct imagery and emotional honesty: little pretense, but many familiar states — boredom, emptiness, melancholy, sudden hope. That sincerity is a big part of why her tracks spread so quickly across social media and streaming platforms.

Hit of the week
Нормальный мужик Masha Murashkina
Masha Murashkina is a Russian entertainment pop project with ironic songs about everyday life, husbands, money, and “girl talk” situations. Apple Music lists the act under Pop; there’s little public bio — the focus is the persona and streaming singles.
Standouts include “Dengi muzha,” “Moy muzh,” “Khotet ne vredno,” “Normalnyy muzhik,” “Ya khochu,” and “Chtoby muzhiki bez nas delali.” There are also tracks about friends, family, and celebrations like “S Dnyom Rozhdeniya, muzh!”

A busy release run landed in 2026: short, light hooks and recognizable domestic stories for playlists and social feeds. The sound is simple radio-friendly pop without a heavy concept.
Don’t confuse her with Masha Rasputina or other stage “Mashas”: this is the streaming project Masha Murashkina known for “Dengi muzha” and “Moy muzh.”
