Unique style
Sharon does not strive to meet the standards
This manifests itself in her appearance: she has short hair and wears piercings, while wearing feminine makeup and dresses, and a long fur hat with ears has become an almost invariable attribute.
Or rather, hats— she has a whole collection of them
It's always interesting to wait for what she will come on stage and how she will sing. Any of her performances is unique

One of the most open, honest and inspired future soul albums of the decade, named after her the last group to fame and, like its debut, seeking to find the positive in the most difficult turns of life
Acute topics were touched upon: a relationship with a guy addicted to cocaine, which ended in a breakup; love on the verge of insanity; an unsuccessful meeting with his father, a radical evangelist…
«Cheap Smell» is as dark as it is delicious, but with a twinkle in its eyes

The singer simply conquered Russia with her charm and personality, her performances were warmly received by the public
Один из самых открытых, честных и вдохновенных будущих соул-альбомов десятилетия, названный в честь ее последней группы до известности и, как и ее дебют, стремящийся находить позитив в самых сложных поворотах жизни
«Cheap Smell» настолько же мрачен, насколько и восхитителен, но с огоньком в глазах
