Yulia with the braids

It wasn't until the second listen of Ukrainian girl group XS's song Yulia, that I realised what, or more precisely, who the sound is about. The line "Yulia with the braids" gave it away, and the video confirmed my suspicions. Yes! It's about our friend Yulia Tymoshenko, former prime minister and now opposition leader of Ukraine. In the video we see one of the girls from XS sporting Ms. Tymoshenko's trademark blonde rap-around braid, dancing in front of a red heart, the symbol of the former PM's party, the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc. There are also some nice looking Ukrainian men in Cossack dress, if you like that sort of thing. XS's music is much like that of their fellow countryslags VIA Gra, except that they actually sing in Ukrainian. In fact, Yulia sounds more than a bit like VIA Gra's song Stop! Stop! Stop!

Is it just me (or the Ukrainian), or do they say "Юла" and not "Юля"? That is, a hard-a ending and not a soft -ya?

Also, I think they ALL have Yulya hair in different styles, not just blondie.

Hello! Welcome to RusskiPop - From Russia with Pop, a guide to the mysterious world of Russian popular music. Not unlike the motherland herself, the Russian pop scene is vast, multicultural, and a bit rubbish. Prepare to be bombarded with fake lesbians, questionable singing, and haircuts you thought went out of fashion in 1988. Davay!
