S.O.S.

Waiting for a Russian pop song to be released in the UK is like waiting for a bus. You wait for ages then two come along at once! The 12th of June sees the release and flop of t.A.T.u.'s Gommenasia (see last entry). However, the week before, another RusskiPop song is set to be unleashed on the UK. At the end of last year I posted a song by the Russian group A'Studio called Uletayu. Remember? No? Anyway they're not releasing that song. The new single is called SOS and was originally released in Russia in 2001 as a slightly dull acoustic song. Since then it has been remixed and revamped into its current Euro dance form and will be out in shops up and down the country on the 5th of June. Between it's first re-release in 2004, A'Studio's front lady Polina has left the group and been replaced. Since the single features Polina's vocals, it is being released as "SOS by A-Studio featuring Polina". The group, originally from Kazakhstan, first hit the Soviet music scene in 1988, back in the days of Perestroika. They are a bit old now.
