Zemfira is the favorite of several generations of listeners, an outstanding musician, songwriter, and performer. From “the girl with a player” to “Joseph,” from “goodbye, my beloved city” to “it’s time to burn bridges and change burnt-out light bulbs,” from “I was looking for you” to “London sky”—her songs are the soundtrack of our lives. Fans of Zemfira who grew up in the 1990s–2000s picked chords on guitar, fell in love to her music without restraint, and parted forever, trying to decipher her codes and saving themselves with her songs. They discussed, criticized, admired. And then— with a new young generation—everything repeated from the start. Zemfira leaves no one indifferent.
This book is about the phenomenal musician of the domestic rock scene and about the context we create around her work. It is for everyone who considers themselves Generation Z—a Zemfira generation.
