Featuring a completely new program with numerous surprises and unexpected musical solutions, the concert surpassed all expectations and unfolded seamlessly.

EMIN treated his fans to a true celebration, performing songs from his newly released Russian-language album "44" and offering a preview of the upcoming English-language album, "Now Or Never," set to be released on February 9. The mix included cherished hits like "Still," "Good Love," and "Let's Run Away to Baku."

Turning 44 this year, EMIN expressed his desire to mark this chapter of life with brightness through his new Russian-language album. The album boasts a variety of duet songs, featuring Sasha HammAli in the amazing song "Till You," Leonid Agutin's "My Friend" with warm guitar chords, and collaborations with talented Azerbaijani performers such as Jony, Jah Khalib, and HammAli & Navai.

The album is divided into two halves, with one comprising solo and new songs and the other filled with hit duets from recent years. The repertoire includes romantic and heartfelt duets, such as "Fireplace" with Jony and a Georgian folk ballad with the legendary Nani Bregvadze, along with solo singles ranging from the hit "MMM" to the new oriental song "Fairy Tale for the Night." Duets with popular Russian singers Jasmine and Alsu are also featured.

The concert featured a landmark premiere as EMIN, for the first time in Baku, performed the composition "Twelve Months of Hope" by the renowned composer Sevil Aliyeva, originally from the repertoire of the great Muslim Magomayev.

This Soviet-era super hit was revitalized by EMIN in an incredibly sensual and beautiful performance. EMIN shared the story of Sevil Aliyeva personally blessing him for this composition, written for Muslim Magomayev, and warmly thanked her, with the composer present in the hall.

EMIN's children - Ali, Mikail, and Amina Agalarovs - graced the concert with one of the most touching moments of the evening, appearing on stage with bouquets of flowers for their beloved father.

No EMIN concert is complete without the iconic "Blue Eternity," a cherished tradition that fills the hearts of every spectator with special gratitude for the People's Artist and his love for the legendary Muslim Magomaev. The evening concluded with the emotional rendition of "My Azerbaijan," with the artist performing in unison with the audience.

Additionally, the "Boomerang of Kindness" charity project was launched during the Baku concert, initiated by EMIN's fan club and actively supported by the artist and his team. All funds raised will be donated to the family of baby Jahrami Fateh, who is battling a severe genetic disease.

The concert was organised by Zhara Events.
