On December 12, 2025, singer Zhenya Lubich released her new composition “Gold leaf”, based on the famous poem by Osip Mandelstam. The song traces the link between the Christmas motif and reflections on the past and future, backed up by beautiful vocals, acoustic guitar, balalaika and light percussion, reflecting Russian culture.
Zhenya shared that Mandelstam was her father's favorite poet, and his poems had a significant impact on her work. “The lines of Mandelstam have become a part of my story, because in me he sounds his own, special music,” she said.
In honor of the release, a clip in the style of the film “The Irony of Fate” was released. The new track will be part of the concert programs of Zhenya Lubich: January 3, 2026 at the MT Music Bar in Moscow and January 6 at the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.
