The formalism for uniform description of Drell-Yan transverse-momentum spectrum is presented in a framework of High-Energy Factorization, which smoothly interpolates between Collins-Soper-Sterman formalism at $|{ \bf q}_T|\ll Q$ and usual Collinear Parton Model at $|{ \bf q}_T|\sim Q\ll \sqrt{ S}$. The new formula for deriving Unintegrated Parton Distribution Functions(UPDFs) from collinear ones is introduced, which leads to excellent description of the shape of $Z$-boson $|{ \bf q}_T|$-spectrum at high energies up to $|{ \bf q}_T|/\sqrt{ S}\simeq 0.02$. Description of normalized $|{ \bf q}_T|$-distributions at low energies is achieved via the fit of non-perturbative parameters of quark UPDFs. Reasonable description of angular distributions of leptons in the dilepton center-of-mass frame is also obtained with new UPDFs.
