Because Tatu had a piss poor producer. Both before and after 2004.Has the producer changed?! :eek:

Used to be lesbian but now heterosexual Russian chick kisses a man in her first music video. BANG! :eek: :D Haha, hm, I wonder if they'll release her album and singles under T.A. Music. :bum: Dam Dam, let's drink some tea and wait for new updates.

The way I understood Lena or rather Renski had no concrete visions for an image before the first songs were written and recorded. Maybe they know more already.

Maybe she'll go for the dominatrix look. I've always wanted to see Lena in a leather g-string with a whip in her hand. Meanwhile, Sven and Troy can be gagged and handcuffed together somewhere in the corner.

From Troy's Twitter:

mmmmmmmm where are we going to tour first? :eek:

Latin america sounds good to me Troy!

I doubt they'd be able to decide that now... no? I mean, I don't think they just say "Hey, I feel like touring [some country]! Let's do it!" :p

Endri
16-07-2009, 02:11
Well, you think about touring when you have songs to sing in the tour. So, that's a good sign, isn't it? :p

FiorE
16-07-2009, 02:11
yes, he´s doing this to make us dream! :o but I hope they think about it seriously in the future when everything is done

Promo tours and showcases in different countries are always good. England and many European countries would be a good place to start.

Already with a tour? Wow all this progress so soon with updates actually telling us what they're doing...definitely not used to this.

Sorry, but that's not very original. She wouldn't be the first to do this among Russian acts, and she wouldn't be the second or third either...too late, others were faster, better and more credible in this image.

Doesn't Lena speak Spanish? In that case, a song in Spanish isn't so unrealistic :p
She should do one with Shakira :laugh:

16-07-2009, 18:50
and sing about her "Small and humbles"? ;)

16-07-2009, 19:35
Troy is the sexiest guy from Tatu band ;) and I want his (with Lena) both shirtless photo in Lena's new album cover / booklet :lalala:

Lena should make a cover of Madonna's "Spanish Lesson". That would be HOT.

AshMcAuliffe

Lena should sing something in Japanese and appeal to that market

They were forced to sing "Gomen Nasai" back in the Tatu days if that counts anything. :gigi: They are fairly popular in Asia and the weeaboo crowd. At least, I always got that impression anyway. I never saw their videos over there but my cousins said they see them... When Tatu had decent promotion.

AshMcAuliffe
16-07-2009, 20:05
The Japanese are a very powerful force. I will never underestimate their power... of buying things and making things REALLY big! :lol:

QueenBee
16-07-2009, 20:17
That's because the Japanese are AWESOME :)

16-07-2009, 20:27
Lena should totally try pulling a Leah Dizon and formulate this "KAWAII cute~" image. And then take a gravure photobook. Her music will range from cheap Japanese porno music to cheap Japanese pop fluff. And then BAAAM. Asia will loooove her!

Hey, if it worked for Leah then it could work for Lena. :gigi: The difference is Leah is Asian, and started her career as a half naked Race queen in the US, and Lena would probably come across as "Random Russian girl desperately wishing she was Japanese". But then again, some crowds do love it's half nude culture loving foreigners. Leah Dizons Japanese is funky but she sells anyway.

And yes, this is another one of my joke posts.

Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Japan, Russia, France, England, USA would be a great place to start!! Lena recording vocals right now!

Yes Canada, Columbia would be awesome too!

And again... updated: :D

No news on what song or songs would be singles. Still writing & coming up with ideas . Lots more songs to record. We might release something for all u guys to hear. Not sure when this would happen. We are talking about ideas . Need to start building fan clubs all over the world.

*tired of copy/pasting*

We want to build the support & fan clubs around the world for this new project. New project, new songs, new everything. Lena, Domen, Sven, Steve & Troy. Getting ready to Rick!

Ooops Rock!! Don't know a Rick? Sorry . Hehehe

EDIT: From Facebook: Lots of great brainstorming in the studio. Maybe something for the fans soon. ;)

17-07-2009, 01:33
I honestly don't want them to choose an "image". They're so overrated and fake. They just need to work together, do a few shows and let fate show them where they are image wise.

Endri
17-07-2009, 01:33
I don't know what's up with him but...

Sorry guys, my typing sucks. Yes it's me. Go to www.facebook.com/troymaccubbin And say hello. I'll get more stuff to post.

We need to starting collecting e-mails from fans all over the world. So we can keep everyone up to date. Build a big data base.

latin american market is a good one, and they can get rich with it only!

that`s a HUG! :p

Endri
17-07-2009, 01:56
latin american market is a good one, and they can get rich with it only!because they have absolutely no connection with any Spanish speaking country and they are making art, no business. They do want an international career, thus they will sing in english. Spanish is too much. At least, this is what I think. :none:

FiorE
17-07-2009, 02:04
because they have absolutely no connection with any Spanish speaking country

if t.A.T.u was really BIG even when the flops starting to come with D&M Latin america was the only place where they sold many albums and they were received with big crows at their airports and all that stuff a huge band has when they are successful (they werent in other place except for latin america) and I`m not trying to sound mean but from what I`m seeing on different forums, lena`s popularity among latin fans is way bigger than yulia`s that`s a fact, add to this Lena singing in spanish, she would have not only our support but also she could get new fans, look nelly furtado. and when lena made public she wanted and started to learn spanish people went happier than ever, I guess she`s trying to have some connection with us in general terms.

nd they are making art, no business. They do want an international career, thus they will sing in english. Spanish is too much. At least, this is what I think. :none:

a song in spanish isnt much, she wont record a whole album as dima bilan (now that`s exagerate things he`s nobody here) but lena is known here.

Endri
17-07-2009, 02:10
a song in spanish isnt muchI agree with this. They could make only a song in spanish for their fans, sth like t.A.T.u. did with Japanese fans with Gomenasai (obviously singing a whole song in spanish would be easier than in Japanese). But just for this reason, not for commercial reasons.

He's updating on such strange things, haha. "Lena is laying down on the couch". It's like "We're in the studio. I am sitting down, writing this. Sven is leaning up against the wall. Lena is now walking towards the bathroom. Still walking. Still walking. She just entered the bathroom."

Is there a rule that you shouldn't wear the same clothes in a week?I think she can wear what she wants to,unless it's not dirty:)

FiorE
22-07-2009, 01:36
I also think that it all was in the same day, ok let`s say two!, I remember Troy said on twitter that sven was preparing some cocktails and lena was lying on the couch(guess it was the same day he took the pics )
tank you for the pics!

Talyubittu
22-07-2009, 05:54
Of course she's wearing the same clothes. She only has one outfit other than her endless supply of sweatpants and PJ's.

Endri
24-07-2009, 10:09
He mentioned "another project im part of" therefore the video may not be Lena's.

QueenBee
24-07-2009, 11:27
He is soooo addicted to twitter. :D

MalchikGeiBrand
24-07-2009, 20:08
He is. XD He's not as obnoxious as my facebook though. I status message like 5 times a day and they're usually paragraphs long.

And obviously that outfit of Lena's that she keeps wearing in Troy's updates is her new stage costume, because they're on some new one-costume-per-concept budget. Some music industries do that when they don't want to afford more wardrobes! :gigi:

More likely he just uploads pics of the same events on different days but anyway - I wonder if he'll try converting Lena to use the internet a little more. It seems amusing seeing Lena use twitter and reading how confused she is. Imagine just how different Lena would be if she actually casually used the interwebz like we did. Ah...
Either way, this project feels a little more interactive with us more than Tatu did, in my opinion.

And his little burger here? http://twitpic.com/bannq How the butt is he going to eat that?

Update:

Hey Guys, Going really well in the studio. We already have about 5-6 tracks that we have recorded. Some are at demo stage some are a lot closer. But lots of great ideas and everyone really coming together as a team. Every new song idea becomes a favourite. I think each one getting better and better. Can't for guys to hear the music. Also for anyone in LA I'll be playing some acoustic shows coming up soon!

fanoff
25-07-2009, 14:35
It becomes clear with each info Troy gives us.I hope they don't release all those demos one at a time.

FiorE
26-07-2009, 19:10
5-6 tracks so I guess he`s counting the last time lena was in LA in april or may(dont remeber) in these one ,he said they recorded like 3 - 4 songs, so in all this period they did 2 new ones, interesting, I just wonder what kind of sound they are developing.

ghixide_2136

3 brazilian fans had an interview with Troy and talked about Lena`s solo project thanks to mah_insane



This interview was made yesterday by a Brazilian t.A.T.u. Fansite Team. Troy answered some questions that our guys made at our Community! It was pretty good and fun.

The guys who are talking with Troy are Ivan (twitter.com/ivandepalma), Jade (twitter.com/zhademcgill), Dunniasha (twitter.com/Dunni_) and me (twitter.com/marylazarini) Smile

Hope you like it!



Mary Lazarini : First at all, thank you so much, Troy.
Troy MacCubbin : No problems.
Mary Lazarini : We're from a Brazilian community named t.A.T.u. Brazil, and from troymaccubbinBR too.
Troy MacCubbin : You guys ROCK!! I love Brazil!!!
Mary Lazarini : And we love you too!
Ivan : Let's start?
Troy MacCubbin : Lets do it, I hope I can answer them well.
Ivan : So, there are three different parts. The first one is about Troy, the second one is about t.A.T.u., and the third about Lena's new project, OK?
Troy MacCubbin : Cool.

Ivan : So... Let's start! When and how did you start playing the electric guitar?
Troy MacCubbin : My dad played guitar and I just grew up around music all the time. I started with my dad teaching around the age of 10, then started lessons at around 17.
Mary Lazarini : You're a very good player!
Troy MacCubbin : Oh thank you.

Jade : Do you play any other instruments?
Troy MacCubbin : I play a little Piano, good enough to write and play a song, and bass guitar. A little didderidoo. Dam I can't spell that.
Ivan : We all can't.

('Didgeridoo' is a wind instrument developed by indigenous Australians.)


Mary Lazarini : What's the most popular kind of music in Australia?
Troy MacCubbin : Mmm all types really. A lot of rock, pub rock but all types.

Dunniasha : So... Next one is : Tell us about your experience playing with very famous singers, such as Kelly Clarkson and Enrique Iglesias.
Troy MacCubbin : Mmm Kelly I was with only for some rehearsals. But she seemed really cool. Enrique I spent a week with in Miami then I went to t.A.T.u.. Didn't really get to know Enrique. I had lots of fun but... It was my first big gig I scored and I was staying in this awesome hotel on the beach in Miami. I was in Heaven. Really fun guys in the band.
Ivan : Seems to be really cool being a musician
Troy MacCubbin : Its has its moments. Sometimes are the best on the world and other time you want to do something else because your making no money, and your depressed because you feel like you're not good enough or you suck. Then you have a great show and you feel awesome again. It's a drug!

Ivan : What's your favorite band or singer?
Troy MacCubbin : Mmm I love so much different music its hard to say one favorite. Love U2, love Muse. Love a lot of different music.

Jade : Ok, next one then. What's your solo career favorite song? And why?
Troy MacCubbin : Mmm I'm still writing it. I wrote some ideas today that I really loved.
Ivan : Can you tell us a little about them?
Troy MacCubbin : Everytime I come up with a new idea I love it. So it changes. This idea I have had for a few years, but I just played it today and it started to really come together. I also wrote an idea for the Lena project which they didn't use and I got a great song out of that. So you never know when you write something how it's going to come out or where it's going to end up. I just started getting out and playing some acoustic shows here in LA so I can work up my songs and get back into my solo stuff.

Mary Lazarini : How did you first met Sven?
Troy MacCubbin : We met in our band Life Death & Giants many years ago. He was here visiting from Germany and answered an ad we had in the paper looking for a keyboard player. He's my German brother. It's like we come from the same family.

Dunniasha : Are we gonna have some news about Core 202 anytime soon?
Troy MacCubbin : Yes Sven and I have been working on it. We are waiting for a remix to be finished to release our video and the ballad version of No Enemy. I can't wait to to get the songs out to you guys. Also we are changing the name to Martin & MacCubbin. Core 202 wasn't working for us so we are just going with Martin & MacCubbin. Ooops I'm not sure Sven wanted me to leak that!

Ivan : Could you explain us the name 'Core 202'? Does it have any special meaning?
Troy MacCubbin : Yes, it does now that we are ditching the name. It's where Sven, Domen and I use to live in Studio City. Our apartment was number 202 and we were the core of the group. Our old band.
Ivan : I think we're the first fans to understand the name... It's so cool.

Jade : Troy, do you know any Brazilian song, or some band maybe?
Troy MacCubbin : You know what I am sad to say, I don't, but when we were in São Paulo I seen some and I just loved the vibe, the energy. I really love Brazil I can't wait to come back. Well now it looks liek it will be Martin & MacCubbin.
_________________
Mary Lazarini : So, next one. When you came with t.A.T.u., was your first time in Brazil? What do you think about Brazilian fans?
Troy MacCubbin : I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!! Just a fantastic country, you guys have so much energy and passion. Love Latin America. The only one thing I hated I wasn't there long enough!!! I want to come back.

Mary Lazarini : So Troy, there is a VERY VERY good question: All of us want to know: How did you felt kissing the OLDEST Lady from Brazilian TV? Do you remember, Hebe?
Dunniasha : Hahaha... Ow man.
Mary Lazarini : Poor him!
Troy MacCubbin : Well I really wanted to stick the tongue in and give her a really passionate kiss.
Troy MacCubbin : No it was fun, she seems really cool and fun.
Mary Lazarini : Whoa! Troy is in love with Hebe, guys.
Troy MacCubbin : Oh shut up!!!
Troy MacCubbin : Next question?
Dunniasha : She is really a cute old lady... Who like to kiss young mans a LOT.
Troy MacCubbin : Coool next time I will kiss her again and again!
Mary Lazarini : There's a hot and brave man!
Dunniasha : Yeah, we will give her the message.

(Hebe is a 80 years old lady from Brazilian TV who Troy 'kissed' when t.A.T.u. came here. It was pretty funny. If you guys want to see her face, just google 'Hebe Camargo'.)

Dunniasha : Next one. How do you see yourself ten years from now? Working with Lena and the guys? Solo career? Tell us.
Troy MacCubbin : Mmm well I think all of us guys will always be friends and continue to work together. I hope so. I really would love to combine the two. When Lena wants to take a break I'll do my solo music and when shes ready to rock I'll be there. All of us are pretty tight now. Great bunch of people! Domen & Sven are like family as I've known them for over 10 years. Well us guys are really happy to be working all together.

Mary Lazarini : Does Lena still in LA now Troy? Or she went back to Russia?
Troy MacCubbin : Lena is here, I was just at the studio today with her. They are all there right now and I'm here at my studio recording some guitar parts for a song. I'm going to have to get back to it soon.

Jade : How did you first met Lena and Yulia?
Troy MacCubbin : We first met at the end of 2002 when Interscope introduced us. It was me and Sven then Roman.

Mary Lazarini : So Troy, how was your first impression when you played with t.A.T.u. for the first time in Russia?
Troy MacCubbin : It was crazy, really interesting to go to Russia for the first time. Lots of things to see and go investigate, lots of fun... Bloody cold.
Mary Lazarini : t.A.T.u. Fans in Russia are so crazy! Almost more than we are!
Troy MacCubbin : No, I would say you guys are more crazy!! In a great way.
Ivan : Thank you!
Mary Lazarini : Thanks I guess!
Dunniasha : Glad to know we are crazy in a good way!
Troy MacCubbin : When we played that one show in São Paulo it was really awesome. I wanted to keep playing. Didn't want to stop. you guys were the best! I want to tour Brazil big time.
Jade : Own, thanks Troy, it means a lot to us!
Mary Lazarini : You must come and play like 100 shows!

Ivan : So, what's your favorite t.A.T.u. song?
Troy MacCubbin : Well I really liked the first album. Loved playing How soon is now and Comos live. My favorite with anything always changes... Sometimes a fast song sometimes a slow song, depends on my mood.

Jade : Troy, which one was the best show ever with the girls?
Troy MacCubbin : Wow good question. We have had some great shows. Mmm trying to think of one that comes to mind. Well the one in Brazil was great, we had some great shows in Russia. They all start to become a blur.
Mary Lazarini : St Petersburg maybe? That one was epic!
Troy MacCubbin : Yeah that was pretty over whelming. We hadn't even done a big show like that and we turn up and theres all these camera there. I'm like: Oh shit, I really have no idea what I'm doing just yet.

Dunniasha : Now...Tell us about the funniest moment you've had with Yulia and Lena...could you remember ?
Troy MacCubbin : As I knew the songs but I didn't know what pedals I was going to hit, I didn't have my amps, I had to use these really shitty amps, that was a tough kid and very wow... I nearly blew my head off with all those explosions going off. If you watch the video I didn't have a guitar tech, so when I broke a string i had to change it myself. Crazy.
You can see me in one song changing it on the side of the stage. F#*cking funny. It was great fun but so much pressure to because we didn't have a chance to work out the show at all. It was like 1 2 3 and go!!!

Mary Lazarini : All right Troy, don't kill me after this, but... What do you think about this 'time off' in t.A.T.u. Band?
Troy MacCubbin : Well hard to say. I think every project now and then needs to take a step back and work out what they really want. Its really up to Julia and Lena. Us guys are here in LA working on different things and different projects. So I don't really know. I'm kinda excited to get this project out there with Lena.

Ivan : Do you have any hopes about recording some new t.A.T.u. album, someday?
Troy MacCubbin : I haven't really thought about it because we have been concentrating on this new project. I think when its time for that I would be very excited to record more for t.A.T.u..

Jade : This new project has got a name as a band or it's gonna be called Lena Katina? And the CD, any ideas about a name?
Troy MacCubbin : No official name just yet. We have been throwing around some ideas but nothing set in stone. It's been really great because it's a band project with Lena out front, so everyone is doing there thing on it. I think Lena is excited to show us what she can do and we are all excited to try some new music together.
Mary Lazarini : It's gonna be amazing.
Troy MacCubbin : I really hope you guys like it!

Mary Lazarini : When will you guys let us listen some of the new songs? We can't wait!
Troy MacCubbin : Well I'm working on that guys right now. I am talking to all the guys in the band about us releasing something for you guys as a sneak peak. I came up with an idea today on my guitar that I thought might be a great song idea for me and Lena to sing together.
Jade : That would be great!
Troy MacCubbin : Maybe we'll just play it for you guys on video and put it on youtube, so we'll see.
Ivan : It sounds great!
Troy MacCubbin : Yeah it should be fun.
Ivan : Better if it's in the album!
Troy MacCubbin : Well if it turns out really great we'll have to wait until the album is released. But we'll give you guys something.

Ivan : Recently, what's the musical influences in the project?
Troy MacCubbin : Now thats a great question. We are all coming from such different musical backgrounds. Mmm... It's a mess of everything we love. Some fun stuff, some serious stuff. It's a bit of everything. Nothing like t.A.T.u., and thats not a bad thing. It's still going to have that Lena sound, which we all love.
Mary Lazarini : For me it sounds really great. I mean, to see you guys playing something different, you know?
Troy MacCubbin : Yeah I agree. It will be really nice and fun. We'll have a ballad and some rock stuff and dance stuff.

Jade : So who's working in the lyrics? And the musics?
Troy MacCubbin : It's all over the place right now. We are going to write as many tunes as we can and see which ones sound the best. Well, we are all working in all areas. Everyone is contributing. Lots of suggestions and ideas floating around. Steve has been working on a lot lyric ideas and he would bring them into the studio and we would go through them as a band. We say like that line, don't like that, love that , lets try this etc... I mean everyone has been giving something to the project. I came up with some chorus ideas, then Sven would add something, then Domen, and Lena, and Boris. Everyone is getting in there to help make this a great band project.

Ivan : Is Lena working on lyrics too?
Troy MacCubbin : Yes Lena is working with all of us ion everything. Lena will say I love that, or do that again, or why not try this. We are bouncing ideas around until we come up with something we all like. For example... I showed the guys this chord progression I have had for years that I really like. It was originally one of my songs but I do it in 6/8. Domen & Sven loved it. Then Domen said why not change this part. Then Sven added some ideas. Then Lena came up with this cool chorus melody, the song just kept growing.
Mary Lazarini : Got it, sounds really great!
Troy MacCubbin : It's sounding really nice, I think one of the best we have so far then Steve wrote some lyrics out... All of a sudden we had this really cool song, so it's really cool to be involved with something where everyone is adding their touch. This will be very much a group effort. All us guys are working well together. Steve, Domen, Sven Boris, Lena and me.

Mary Lazarini : Troy, we're almost finishing here, just a couple of questions now.
Troy MacCubbin : Ok.
Dunniasha : Next one... Any plans about a new tour for the new project? Would Brazil be on it, hopefully?
Troy MacCubbin : Well first we have to finish writing these songs, then we are going to pick out the ones that really stand out. Then we'll talk some people and then we'll record it properly, then we'll start thinking about a tour. I'm pushing for it big time guys, especially Brazil. See just by you guys doing this interview and showing your support thats going to show the record labels, hey we need to get the band down to Brazil because there are so many fans. So keep up the support it will make the tour happen.
Ivan : Oh, thank you Troy.

Mary Lazarini : The last one: What's the main difference between Lena's songs and t.A.T.u.'s songs?
Troy MacCubbin : Mmm. Well its Lena singing on her own... Talking to Sven hang on
Mary Lazarini : Ok.
Troy MacCubbin : Lena says hello!
Mary Lazarini : Say hello to her!
Dunniasha : Say hello to her too!

Mary Lazarini : Well, finishing. We're doing a fansite for ya, named troymaccubbinBR and we want you to tell us if you do this troymaccubbinBR your official Brazilian fansite. Do we have your agreement?
Troy MacCubbin : Guys I really have to say no. Sorry.
Troy MacCubbin : Joking.
Jade : Oh Gosh... You almost killed us here, Troy!
Troy MacCubbin : Of course I would be so proud and happy that guys support me this much.
Dunniasha : Gosh I had a heart attack!
Mary Lazarini : I'm dead, kisses.
Troy MacCubbin : Sorry I'm a meany! I love what you guys are doing. It's really awesome that we have this connection. You guys ROCK!! Well I love you guys and all the support you give. Fantastic! If we could get more of you guys set up in different countries that would be fantastic. Maybe you guys can start spreading the world to the other fans around the world. The more we do together the bigger this will become.

Ivan : Thank you very much for this Troy. For all this.
Mary Lazarini : Yep, thanks.
Dunniasha : Yeah, thank you for the amazing opportunity !
Jade : Yeah, thanks for all! You're awesome, dude; talking to you and getting this interview was just great! Thank you, very very much.
Troy MacCubbin : Guys anytime. I'm working hard on trying to do more for the fans. Get you guys more involved and be apart of our projects. Guys rock on and lets do this again in the future! Really great talking to you. Ok I better get back to this song and record some Guitars. You guys are awesome!
Ivan : Good luck Troy
Mary Lazarini : Good luck! And thanks, again!
Troy MacCubbin : Thank you for everything and all your support! Bye guys!!!!

From the source of the "Holy Truth" about all tatu-related things...
The Name Of The First Single Of Lena Katina Became Known (ex-TATU)

The name of the 1st single of Lena Katina (ex-TATU) became known. Trustworthy sources from the closest people around Lena Katina let out the secret that the debute single will be called "IT NO COLL". It became also known that it will be a slow, gothic song. And the main point is - this song is already around the net for some years under the name "YOU", which Lena performed solo, according to the people around her, the fans like this song very much, and it has been decided to make it a single, to tell the truth they changed it a bit, as the sources also tell, so that the fans wouldn't decide "that this is trash". Therefore we all wait for the new song of Lena, and for the time being enjoy the song "YOU", judging by this demo the song will become a hit.

I like "I Know" so much better.

I don't think they use "You" demo, cause it's Valeria song now (composed by Galoyan).

13-08-2009, 19:45
I don't think they will use an old demo for a new song. Wasn't "You" used by another russian singer?

MalchikGeiBrand
13-08-2009, 20:50
that the debute single will be called "IT NO COLL"

:lol:
If you're going to decrease your boredom by trying to make up your own rumor, at least try making it look legitimate, people. That post has too much funky engrish and also too much "Lena fanboys wet dream" all over it too.
But we obviously all know Lena's album will be titled "tap me, simply... I am SEXUAL BABY" and will debutte with the lead single featuring ex-serebro Marina Turkeyminovvlkghlfmj plus a recycled, unheard, but very deep song from Happy Smiles era "song about cow and orange waterfall". Cough.
I swear if someone copies and pastes that on tatu.ru and passes it off as a rumor, I will stuff their pillows with old watermelons.

Anyway, back to the real world, according to Troy's obviously real twitter, Lena has apparently performed her "best vocals yet". I can't wait to hear them!

Edit: Oh never mind, Endri beat me to the twitter update.

I've always loved I Know. Did they give that one to valeria too?

MalchikGeiBrand
15-08-2009, 00:39
I think they did. I remember listening to it on YouTube a while ago.

I always listened to "I Know" demos from Lena myself. But when it comes to this solo/band project, I doubt they'd want to recycle old material, especially since Troy's been talking so much about how they've been working so hard on new songs and ideas. It would be interesting if they made updated versions of those old demos for Lena's project as filler tracks on the album, but they probably won't do that.

Edit: Here's a live performance of Valeria singing "I Know". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKnpkCdlox8
I like the music arrangement but I'm too used to Lena's sweet and cutesy voice singing it. I suppose Valeria's more mature and rougher voice suits it though.

It wouldn't make much sense to 'cover' two Valeriya songs a year or two after her releases, although not so hard to do. The copyright restrictions are far less than in the west (hm, are there any? :laugh: ).
I like the music arrangement but I'm too used to Lena's sweet and cutesy voice singing it. I suppose Valeria's more mature and rougher voice suits it though.
Comparison between the two of them isn't fair. After all Valeriya can really sing, while Lena...well, I don't want to begin a discussion what she is able to do...:D

For those interested in having Valeriya's versions of the original tatu demos:

Pffft Lena can sing occasionally! :p Well, neither Lena or Yulia have a voice that exceeds 2 octaves and in some cases it sounds like they aren't even trying, but... Minus a select live performances they've sounded nice enough. :gigi: Any average person can sound good one moment and awful the next - especially me - but then that's where vocal coaching comes along. Which I think it was mentioned Lena has one now? Woo!

And over here "In the good ol' west~~" music is recovered all the time. Well, it's not an uncommon concept for a major record company to find a random "hit" song in Europe or Asia, and then have their product/artist "sing it" while trying to hide the fact that it's a cover as much as possible.

Well Lena has one advantage. These song were made for her and Yul. While Valerias voice doesn't suit them IMO. It does sound like tatu cover. And I like Lena's demo

Is it gonna be in English only? Why? Won't they consider to address any of their Russian fellows? Or is it also up to the band to create that page? Since they cannot speak a word of Russian, I wouldn't be surprised... :confused: :D
Well, only English would be very, very strange but then again it'd confirm that Renski is nuts.

I know that Lena will sing in English only and I see your point and... I know that Renski might have such an utopian approach. I don't know where you have that info from, but not to have a Russian version of her website seems just arrogant to me, therefore it makes sense again.

Lena will not be t.A.T.u.-similar project...
So she'll be dissimilar to herself? :confused:
Her "markets" are not world and Russia, it's world including Russia...
Her markets? Do we already talk about selling products? Musicians make music, then producers and record companies think about markets. Lena will have to be very lucky to sell what she makes in her home country, hoping for anything outside is still a beautiful wish.
There won't be Russian releases of the album, and most probably not even Russian songs...
Are we talking about Lena who thinks that everything in Russia is sh** or rather Yulya? Russian is her native language, Russia is the country she loves, Russia is all she has.
She'll probably be more active in Russia, since, yes, she lives there, but there's no *need* to open Russian version of the site too.
Yes, and every Russian will learn the English language just to understand, what the nonsense means, which the songwriters rhyme together, which they didn't even understand in Russian. I'm so eager to read the posts of some most dedicated Lena fans of the Russian off. site, who can't even write two sentences in Russian without making spelling mistakes. Hello, it's Lena, born and living in Russia with fans mostly from Russia, who don't have exactly the best English knowledge (besides some treasured members, who partly have been thrown out of the off. forum).

I think it's great that Renski borrowed his new chance some of his socks, don't know what the hair is all about though - looks not appealing to me and I see it already - the femalish sweet font and BANG the website will of course look completely different because some people have nothing else to do in Moscow. In case they keep the font and this imagery I see the rule - combine the impossible - has re-entered Lena's life because I feel the boys are working on some rockish songs... I am just sad that I have already forgotten what I was talking about...

We're about to be introduced to Lena's style and this is a very important moment. With these two "pics" it looks sweet, classy, but a little bit too poppy and far from t.A.T.u. (exept for 220, maybe.)

I personally can't really get any "rock/non-rock" vibes from the teaser pictures. :p
Actually, the way she has little ribbons and curls (?) in her hair and the multicolored stripes she's wearing really reminds me of some of the styles of Emilie Autumn.

Everyone's saying the silhouette teaser is Lena anyway... XD They've caught my interest any way. The concept seems promising. I know the idea of concepts kind of sound fake, but most if not all artists have some kind of concept that helps them sell and branch out to audiences. Some are just more or less apparent than others.

I wonder if Lena had any personal say about it. Hopefully she'll get more credibility in this project generally, since it's her own, and can detach from the "product" reputation. So maybe it's obvious neither Lena or Yulia even have much of a reputation lately, but they should at least have a decent one.

Endri

Exactly, she needs to hit because she need a fanbase. This is her first record and if the project is a failure, it will be the end for her. :( I don't want to be too negative, let's wait for the whole site. Do you think there will be any info posted regarding the album?

What caught my attention when I first checked the site out was the string belt used in that Lena animation.It's the same thing she wore in NGGU Eurovision performance. See it here (http://www4.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Eurovision+Song+Contest+Moscow+2009+1st+Semi+-2z6jSO2xKTl.jpg)

wow...good eye!

Arnaudfrenchy, well... that photoshopped-bla-bla-something is a teaser of future-Lena-style. So, it means something I think. BUT like Aileen said yestarday it might be a strategy that we'll never understand ;) I'm too unwise or I'm just an ignorant to understand whole postmodern approach in this "huge" project. Sorry. I hope Boris & Co.'ll give us some tips at tatu's blog ;)

We have first "rumour"... First Lena's single is "Hopeless Hopes" and will be released... in nearest future.

Tatugirl Lena Katina prepares An Act Of Terrorism

She is already prepared for the comeback on stage. Her new scenic image and repertoire promises to seize millions of hearts.

The new musical project will be presented to us exactly like this, it's presentation is fixed on the memorable Nine-Eleven. Her first English language single "Hopeless Hopes", it's release will be in the nearest future, will be devoted to the victims of the terrorist act in the USA on Sept. 11, 2001. According to the administration of the project Lena not only proposed the idea to record such a song, she even advanced as an author of the composition. "The theme is close to us. We always stood up against violence, against lack of understanding. Exactly on that the group Tatu was based in it's time."

It's known that professional musicians from America will work together with Katina. Exactly there the work on the debut album of the new-born group is taking place now. The basic part of the compositions will be in English language. That's even understandable, as she has the fame of the soloist of Tatu behind her back, Lena has big chances to be acknowledged in the West. But they promise not to forget about the Russian audience too and record some songs in Russian language.

A year ago I would have believed that it's just another mistake caused by lack of professionality, but now I'm sure - it's intentional!

Just look for the biggest failure in showbiz and you'll automatically find - "produced by Boris B. Renskij" - Genius!

This is not fair.This is just to criticize Lena.Didn't we see Lena with make-up before?Did Yulia have a spesific make up style and Lena copied it?I don't really think so.

I can't speak for nfne, but to me the video looks kind of old. Like from around the Podnebesnaya era or something.. But I could be wrong.

I don't think the song Lena is singing along to is her own voice, though. The voice sounds more mature. The song has a nice sound though. :p Nonetheless her in-the-car-sing-along isn't bad. Well, it's more appealing to listen to than typical-teenagers-singing-along-in-a-car, anyway.

... The little song at the end though, kind of sounds like a version of Belochka. I'm not saying it is, or isn't, but it sounds alike. XD
