Palina Yuryewna Palanyeychyk (Belarusian: Паліна Юр’еўна Паланейчык; Russian: Полина Юрьевна Полонейчик;[a] born 8 April 1994), known mononymously as Palina (previously Palina Respublika), is a Belarusian singer.[1] Repertoire mainly consists of her own works, and she performs songs in Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, and French.

Biography

She studied at gymnasium (high school) №15 of the city of Minsk, from which she graduated in 2011. She has been engaged in the field of women's football.[2][3]

The first song was written at the age of 14 years in Crimea which prompted her to learn how to play guitar.[4]

The first solo concert was held in Minsk on 24 December 2011 at the opening of the Art-Siadziba.[5] In 2011, she won at the 18th author songs festival "Ballad Fall" (Belarusian: Бардаўская восень) (Bielsk Podlaski, Poland), after which gave dozens of concerts in Belarus and abroad.[6]

According to Tuzin.fm, she is "The opening of the Year" (2011).[7][8] Also she is the winner in the nomination of “The opening of the Year” at the Ultra-Music Awards (2012).[9][10][11][12][13]

In 2012 Palina Respublika recorded several joint-singles with the Hasta La Fillsta band ("Yak Ty"[14] and "Gadzinnik"[15]). In the spring of 2015, the debut album "Byaskoncy Krasavik" was being presented to the public. “The high-quality new album” per Experty.by’s Źmicier Biezkaravajny[16] became the second best domestic CD of that year based on the results of a survey of foreign music experts carried out by the Experty.by music portal,[17] after the presentation of which on 15 May 2015 at the creative space Studio 67, she announced the suspension of live performances due family reasons.[18]

In February 2017 the singer was a guest of Siarhei Budkin’s program "Belsat Music Live", where she acted in a new stage format without a guitar and her musical band.[19] In that year she performed the back vocal part on the Helaiv's song "Anxiety" from the "Too Easy" EP.[20]

In 2018 she stripped the "Palina Respublika" pseudonym to just "Palina". She took part in the 9th season of the Ukrainian edition of the "X-Factor" talent show with the author's song "Pinki".[21] On the New Year 2019 she acted and signed in the musical show "We will be not understood in Moscow" (Belarusian: "Нас у Маскве не зразумеюць") by Tuzin.fm, "Belsat Music Live", and Lavon Volski.[22][23]

At the beginning of 2019 she recorded a joint clip for the song "Wada" with Intelligency.[24] On 15 April Palina released the second album called "Grustnye Pesni" combined her works for past three years.[25][26]

Criticism

Editor of the Ultra-Music music portal Alexandr Chernuha called lyrics of the singer quite mediocre.[27] The bulk of the staff of the experty.by music portal appreciated album "Byaskoncy Krasavik": "quiet, warm, lyrical music",[27] "pleasant and enough catchy melodies and soft vocals",[27] "naive and pure music",[27] "it can not be said that the Palina's band found its sound, but the fact is that it is on the right path – that is for sure".[7]

Appraisal

Lesley Knife, vocalist of the Gods Tower band, compared the works of the Belarusian singer with Enya’s ones in 2014.[28]

Bans

After the interviews of Belsat TV and Narodnaya Volya with the singer in 2012, her concert, which was supposed to be held in Vitebsk the next day, was canceled.[29][30]

Recognition

In 2018 the music portal Tuzin.fm together with Letapis.by selected the song "Yak Ty" in the top of "60 today's hits in the Belarusian language", a list of best songs released since 1988.[31]

In the retrospect of 2010-2019 in 2019, Lesha Gorbash from 34mag called the singer “a significant Belarusian artist of the decade, without which it is difficult to imagine the today's local scene.”[32]
