No Boundaries is the second studio album by the Belarusian-Norwegian artist Alexander Rybak, released on 14 June 2010. Background It was recorded in Yla Studios in Malmö. The album include three songs dedicated to his workmates: "Oah", "Why Not Me" and "First Kiss". It also has a tribute to Finland, "Suomi". "5000 Letters" seemingly reflects the letters Rybak received from fans. Another spoken track, "Kaja's Letter" is a letter Rybak found special and was voice by a small Norwegian girl named Kaja. Due to the album's crossover nature, Rybak was sure that the album would be slaughtered by music critics upon its release. Critical reception The album was met with mixed reviews. A Slowak music critic gave the album overall a favourable review, but noted that the chaos that surrounded Rybak and his organisational management could hinder the album's performances. VG gave the album a "die throw" of 3, stating that although "it might be fun to showcase solid qualities in different genres, but it is not always fun to listen to.". Eurovisionary stated Rybak seemingly suffered from the commercial success of his previous album and this album was a "messy affair". A Dutch reviewer suggested that Rybak could have done better by spreading his music over multiple albums. Critics generally named "Dare I Say" and "Why Not Me" the best songs on the albums. Plagiarism accusations RIA Novosti accused Alexander of plagiarizing Konstantin Meladze's music (which has already been used in Valery Meladze's song ) and using it in his song "5000 Letters". Some other sources, as RIA Novosti says, have already revealed that the music was not written by Alexander Rybak himself and there was no act of plagiarism.
