Tatu producer thinks British society has wrong attitude toward sex (Interfax)Time of publication: 06.02.2003 |
MOSCOW. Feb 6 (Interfax) - Ivan Shapovalov, producer of the Russian lesbian duo Tatu, has accused British society of having the wrong attitude toward sex. This comment came after British television banned the airing of Tatu's concerts and their debut single All the Things She Said.
"British society is sick with the wrong attitude toward sex. The more bans are imposed, the more it drives itself into a corner," Shapovalov said. "The fact that the British people saw only pedophilia in the teen duo is a sure sign that this illness is real there," he told Interfax on Thursday.
The duo (Yulia Volkova, 17, and Lena Katina, 18) is not only the first Russian pop group to get into the top ten on the British pop chart, it also topped it.
Shapovalov said the duo may sing at Wembly Stadium. "Nothing has been decided yet, especially considering the fact that five sites in Great Britain have already refused to host the group's concerts," he said.
Shapovalov said that the duo's short-term plans include performances in the Czech Republic and the recording of a second album. "We don't know yet what the title will be. Some songs have already been recorded. They were first written in Russian and then translated into English, like with the first album," Shapovalov said.
Shapovalov said that the reason for the duo's sensational success abroad and in Russia is "its sense of timing." "The main thing is to guess what people need and what tendencies are present in the world and in Russia, to know precisely what you want to tell people," Shapovalov said. |
