South African Website Review of t.A.T.uTime of publication: 20.01.2003 |
t.A.T.u is about saying what you feel, not what others expect,' says Lena. 'Be in love. Be yourself. We are.'
Yulia and Lena - the two teenagers who make up t.A.T.u, are everything Britney Speares and Christina want to be -they're fearless and original - talented and - right now - they're the hottest duo on the charts. Having already known each other for 8 years while in different bands, the girls have both studied music, but there - the commonality ends. Yulia is the daughter of a fairly average family, while Lena is the youngest daughter of well-known Russian musician/songwriter. And yet - it's Yulia that's the major party animal. Lena prefers staying home reading.
They contrast each other wonderfully in their music, and with Yulia's acting experience, their videos are almost mini-movies - all with a touch of the dramatic - very light and dark as Yulia says: 'Russians are not dark but we are not light either. We have a different view, maybe deeper, because life is more difficult in Russia.'
Their next video 'Simple Motions' will probably raise an even louder outcry than 'All the Things she said' but the two teenagers are ready to upset any taboo they can think off. To them, it's all about being fearless.
Be fearless with them here!
