In December 2001, the Voice of Russia launched a new program “Song of the Year” which features the most popular songs of the year on the Voice of Russia World Service, Russian pop stars, and young performers – discoveries of the season. VOR invited listeners to get to choose the ones they fancied most. When the votes were tallied it was clear that a new singing sensation had arrived on the Russian music scene.  She came in at #2 and hasn’t stopped making hits since. Introducing, (Жасмин) Jamine!
Только Tы means “Only You” in Russian.  It’s also a very beautiful love ballad which Jasmin performs with popular Russian classical opera singer Nikolai Baskov.  Baskov is quite successful in his own style but enjoys performing pop music also, and as you will hear, a very special sound is created when the talent of these two voices are blended.

Жасмин (Jasmine) sings Ты далеко (You’re Far Away)
