Composer and keyboardist Polina Maiboroda has released her debut solo track

‘Playground’, a melodic UK garage track, marks the composer’s debut as a music producer. Polina is a keyboardist for Hyphen Dash, Kazhanna, YUVI, Anton Kramer, Renie Cares, and Freedom Jazz

According to the description, the new single marks a departure from everything the artist has created before. Maiboroda spent ‘a lot of time’ working on ‘Playground’, creating the track ‘at home in the kitchen’, on Ukrzaliznytsia trains, and in Spain.

‘I’ve spent so much time making music for others that I felt a huge urge to do something uncompromisingly mine, — Polina explains. — I don’t recall precisely when the track began, but I remember it was an emotionally heavy period for me. Remarkably, the resulting music turned out to be the total opposite of my state of mind’.

The keyboard player notes that referencing a playground signifies ‘an escape to a space where all is still well’.

The release’s cover was created by OHS founder and Kyiv-based multidisciplinary artist Ivanko Masliuk, who works at the intersection of naive figuration and abstraction.

The work is dedicated to the playground where Polina used to play as a child.

Other releases featuring the musician

Back in May 2026, Hyphen Dash — featuring Polina on keyboards — released their album ‘I Was Afraid Of Stone Rooms’.

The idea for the release emerged from a period of creative stagnation the band members experienced after the release of ‘LATE’. The album was recorded during a two-day improvisation session at Duma Studio. Read more about it in our article.
