Lena Katina Solo Project - part 2

[MalchikGeiBrand]

Boris has brainwashed the poor girl. Goodness. :| I just want to know what is it about him that makes Lena want to stick with him.

It's like he's trying to fulfil his dreams through Lena, like an angry Pageant Mom... only instead he is a russian man that tries to make music that not even Russian speakers understand...

[fanoff]

I wonder what they wrote with the brocoli guys and how they made them go nuts

1. He pays her bills.
2. He is a substitute daddy.

Oh dear, I have never thought about this, but since she's been spending so many months in Los Angeles and also with his family (they all more or less live there - there are some facebook pix...), this is maybe even more of a moral reason for her to stick with him in the first place and since she's living with her mom and sister (if not boyfriend) when she's in Moscow - bingo! Very important!

[fanoff]

Ah she had a song called Wish On A Star. I wonder when we'll hear it :O)

Will this do?

OMG this is great news!!!!

[MalchikGeiBrand]

It appears so far her twitter will most likely just be facebook updates copy and pasted. I wonder why she couldn't have gotten one earlier.
At least the English typed is comprehensible to read. Sorry, Yulia.
Lena's English is actually quite good now. It's just her accent makes her enthusiasm sound kind of fake/forced sometimes, like in her last video blog at the parade. I think it's because her accent is slightly mixed now. I can only partially remember how funny I sounded when I first began mixing my parents Asian accent with American as a kiddo...

Nonetheless, good news alas!

Here's the link to the song(from House13))

That was what got my attention during the video. Her accent is very nice but she speaks like another person

[fanoff]

No doubt that I will say that I loove the song!

[MalchikGeiBrand]

She might have naturally picked up her "new accent", or she might just be trying to fit in haha. If there's that slight chance in a blue moon that an American media wants to interact with her, her accent won't be too strong or something.

Thank you for sharing the song!
I'm quite impressed with the song. It's not what I normally voluntarily listen to but it sounds nice and radio friendly.

I'm a little worried her voice doesn't really match the songs style, but I dunno. There's a couple of nice higher notes she hits. I generally feel positive about it.
I really like her little background voice. The one that goes "never forget never forget" and her little voice before the chorus. It's a cool little melody.

[AshMcAuliffe]

It is mint. I am very very impressed and has reinspired me to listen to some t.A.T.u. Her vocals are very good in the song and it is a very well constructed pop/rock song. Big thumbs up.

[regigigas1505]

Quite great! I know the lyrics are silly, but I'm in love!!!

Edit: Lyrics (from what I can hear)

We said that we were meant to be
That we were each other's destiny
And now we faded away
Maybe it's too late
Now it's time for us to get it straight

[Coming out, coming out... {?}]

I'll never forget you
But I'll be gone
I'll always respect you
And life goes on
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you

[Never forget you, never forget you...]

I'll hold on to the memory
Now that you and I are history
And why? We will never know
Sometimes you let go
What you used to keep within your soul

[Coming out, coming out...{?}]

I'll never forget you
But I'll be gone
I'll always respect you
And life goes on
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you

[Never forget you, never forget you]

Our moments together...
I will keep them forever
Our hearts must surrender

CHORUS 2 x

[manatsu103]

The song in my opinion is "okay". Maybe it will grow on me...

[fanoff]

Her boyfriend is called Sasha

[regigigas1505]

Sorry for double posting; Lena just said in the radio interview that the song IS really about and FOR Yulia... TO thank her for their time together, etc. Something she uses to move on; they thought it would be just right. (someone will gather the information better at some point later, I'm sure)

- The lyrics were written in the winter with Baroli Music in Sweden (italic part thanks to allaboutus from the official Lena forum);

- She's happy with what she's doing right now; talked about how it's a new beginning, etc., just feels right;

- "Soy Lena, buenas noches, beunos dias" -- she says some things she knows in spanish;

- They are going to the city -- next month -- in which the song debuted;

- Craziest time with t.A.T.u. - when they went to Mexico to promote D&M. So many fans gathered blablablah;

- She has a boyfriend right now! A "very very talented guy"... His name is Sasha! And he is not russian. That's all the information she wants to give right now;

- Every song on the new album is very personal;

- She thanks everyone for listening and for requesting her song, it means a lot to her; she says hello to everyone; thanks the radio.

THE END

Yeah, I know, I suck at this, but there you have it! LOL

Edit: beaten.
pt. 2 - added information gathered around.

This is the first thing that I thought when I heard the song, but then again I thought it would be nonsense Anyway, it's a good thing after all. I'm sure that it's written after Yulia said that her career would disappear.

[regigigas1505]

I thought the same, so I'm glad she confirmed it!
Things seem clearer now, no more like it was with t.A.T.u., so I'm happy!

GO, Lena!
