RUSSIAN FEMALE DUO t.A.T.u. MAKES THEIR IMPRESSION ("Corky" - Sweden)Time of publication: 31.12.2002 |
Album: 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane
This Russian duo is already so talked about that almost everyone has heard plenty of their stories. Everyone likes to have an opinion about whether they're totally fake posers produced by Russian music company mafia or two genuinely capable and hard-working teenagers with dreams of becoming pop stars. I myself think that the truth can be found somewhere in the middle. It's obvious that Yulia and Lena have talent. They sing beautifully, and sometimes it makes you feel like your hair is standing on end. But very suddenly they'll sound "cutesy" (Malchik Gay), and you wonder what the heck they're doing. And some of that feeling characterizes the entire CD. That also includes English- as well as Russian-language versions of certain songs, a video, and a "Behind the Scenes" segment with the singers. The hit single from Lilja 4-ever, "All the Things She Said", is in a class of its own, and after three or four more songs it still has the same high quality. The rest is, as said, history.
