The course

The celebrity of this group is partly due to the setting in scene of the Homosexualité supposed of the two singers in the videos clip and scenic services, in particular for the song Ya shosla S uma (literally I lost the spirit - the English title is All the things she said , that is to say All that she said ), of their first album. The appearance of the two young singers was conceived to give the impression of two high-school girls in an institution: white shirts and soquettes, dark tie, pleated short skirt… At the time of their services scenic or their Vidéoclip S, all is not pretext to show erotism as think it the majority of people but to go up that the love does not occur only between one man and a woman. The group t.A.T.u. was the subject of a promotion strongly centered on the search for a provocation considered to be very commercial by a great number of people, which could result in the censure in their video clip of the scene where they are embraced (case of the chain M6 in France during certain diffusions). In spite of this approach strongly directed by choices inspired by the Marketing, the group ended up drawing the attention thanks to the quality of its music produced by the British Trevor Horn (ex- Buggles, also episodical producer of the Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Erasure, the Lightning Seeds, etc)

In spring 2004, Lena and Yulia separated to manage Ivan Shapovalov to them. Yulia Volkova had a girl. In recent interviews, they really affirm being fallen in love one with the other, being young, but the idea to show it explicitly came from their former manager.
