Tatu is coming back (Dni.Ru - Russia)

Time of publication: 10.06.2004
For the last 6 months the group Tatu has been going through a succession of ordeals. The second album which should have been ready on 14 March was not released. The reality show "Tatu in Podnebesnaya" turned out to be a complete failure, which caused dissension within the group. The girls refused to continue working with their producer Ivan Shapovalov and the future of the duo looked rather uncertain.

One more news that concerns directly the group Tatu has recently appeared. Elena Kiper, former producer of the duo and author of the hits "Nas Ne Dagoniat" and "Ya Soshla S Uma", has managed to seize the rights on these songs from the company Neformat. The goal of Elena Kiper was never to deprive the Tatugirls of the hits that brought them world fame though: "You won't hear from me that i have declared war to Tatu or something like that. Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina who are innocent bystanders in this legal dispute won't be affected by this. I like this project a lot, it was my first experience in show business, i invested myself totally in it, and i'm extremely glad that something i created is still wanted all over the world. This project is not only the best in Russian show business, but also in the world. I intend to win this trial to transfer the material to a large record company, to write with their support a song for Madonna and sing it with her as a duo, and use the money to shoot a film for which i hope to receive an Oscar."

Meanwhile, the singers of the group Tatu, Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova, are remaining quite optimistic. They intend to work on their second album which should be recorded in London later this year. It's planned for a release in the autumn/winter period. Apparently Yulia Volkova's pregnancy should not hinder the process.

It's still unclear who will become the producer of Tatu's second album. According to the newspaper "Izvestia", Elena Kiper has already been offered to produce Tatu's second album. Elena Kiper has not given her final answer yet.
