Tatu, T.A.T.U, taty, whatever. A new, to us in the west, pop duo whose video has caused more than a few people to be confused if they have not heard of these two before. Yes, they are indeed kissing each other.
This alone, will, and I'm being cynical here, cause the single to sell to many a male teenager, for obvious reasons.
Me ? I like the music because it sounds different to the pop stuff we have over here, and I think they will do well, if not necessarily in a long term way. In Russia they have had success for some time, and judging by the demand for items on Ebay, that success could be mirrored here also.
With the single, All The Things She Said, available to buy on the 27th Jan, time will soon tell. I'm just wondering who their target audience is ? Lets face it, to succeed most pop artists have to be likeable in some way to their fans. No one says their favourie artist is ugly but sings well do they ? I think any attempt to aim the music at the Britney Spears/Boy band kids market is doomed by the obvious questions their relationship will provoke from our blood hound media. Or will it be ignored by them, another issue sidestepped because it makes uncomfartable reading for those easily outraged by anything that veers from their "normal" view.
Still, maybe controversy is a good way to sell albums and singles ? Am I being too cynical about British attitudes towards a lesbian pop duo ? You did know, didn't you ? See, I told you our press might sidestep that one...
