Миша Шуфутинский - Побег

Review by Richard Butler

Album Review: Миша Шуфутинский – Побег (1998) Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into Побег by Миша Шуфутинский—a gem of late '90s pop with a heavy dose of Chanson vibes and balladry that’ll either tug at your heartstrings or make you wonder if you accidentally walked into a Russian dive bar. Released in 1998 across Russia and Ukraine under labels like ZeKo Records (twice for some reason? Go figure), this album is a mixtape of emotions, storytelling, and just enough melancholy to keep things interesting. First off, let’s talk about the vibe here. If you’ve ever been stuck on a train somewhere between Moscow and Kyiv, staring out the window while nursing a bottle of cheap beer, this album will feel eerily familiar. It’s got that “I’m sad but also kinda romantic” energy down pat. And props to Миша himself—he didn’t just sing; he produced the thing too. Talk about wearing multiple hats! The backing vocals by Мая Розова add a nice touch, though I wouldn’t mind hearing more of her throughout. Meanwhile, Лео Гальперин on bass guitar keeps things grounded when things get too emotional—which, honestly, happens often. Now, onto the tracks. With fifteen songs packed in, it’s hard not to find something that sticks. But two tracks stood out to me like neon signs in a foggy street: "Побег" and "Так Вот Какая Ты." Let’s start with the title track, "Побег" (which translates to “Escape”). Right off the bat, it sets the tone for the whole album—melancholic yet hopeful, like running away from your problems but knowing deep down they’ll catch up eventually. The melody lingers, haunting you long after the last note fades. You can almost picture Миша standing alone in an empty room, looking wistfully out the window as rain drips down the glass. Or maybe that’s just me projecting my own life onto his music. Either way, it works. Then there’s "Так Вот Какая Ты" (“So This Is What You’re Like”), which hits different altogether. It’s one of those rare songs where the lyrics hit so close to home you swear the songwriter was spying on your ex. Without giving away spoilers, it’s basically a poetic takedown wrapped in a velvet glove. The delivery is smooth, almost conversational, making it feel less like a performance and more like Миша is sitting right next to you, sharing his woes over a pint of kvass. The rest of the album has its moments too—like "Море, Море" (Sea, Sea) for when you need a little maritime drama in your life, or "Прощальное Письмо" (Farewell Letter) for when you’re feeling particularly self-destructive. Honestly, every song feels like a chapter in a novel you didn’t know you needed to read. But here’s the kicker: listening to Побег isn’t just about enjoying good music—it’s about stepping into another world. A world where love hurts, vodka flows freely, and everyone seems to have a story worth telling. And sure, some tracks drag a bit (looking at you, "Пиво-Воды"), but hey, even the best albums have their filler tunes. In conclusion, Побег is the kind of album that makes you want to sit by a campfire, drink something strong, and pretend you understand life. Or maybe it’s just background noise while you cry softly into your pillow. Either way, it’s unforgettable. So grab a copy—or stream it, whatever floats your boat—and let Миша take you on a journey through heartbreak, longing, and questionable life choices. Because sometimes, all you need is a little Russian chanson to remind you that you’re not alone in your misery. Cheers to that.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Побег* by Миша Шуфутинский is like a time capsule of late '90s Russian pop. Released in 1998, it blends heartfelt ballads and classic *chanson* vibes, making it a standout in both Russia and Ukraine. What’s wild is how hands-on Шуфутинский was—he didn’t just sing; he played the keyboards, produced the whole thing, and even roped in talented friends like Мая Розова for backing vocals. Tracks like *Море, Море* and *Так Вот Какая Ты* feel like they’re telling stories straight from the heart. If you dig emotional lyrics and smooth melodies, this album's got that old-school charm locked down.
