Karimov's Daughter To Release New Album

Gulnara Karimova, daughter of Uzbek President Islam Karimov

The daughter of Uzbekistan's authoritarian President Islam Karimov says she will soon release a new music album.

Gulnara Karimova wrote on Twitter that the songs on the album are "an experiment from trip-hop to soft rock and even pop" and are based on her own life experiences.

The 39-year-old Karimova, who performs under the name GooGoosha, is often criticized for her opulent lifestyle in a country where the bulk of the population lives in poverty.
