200 Km/H in the Wrong Lane

Two comely teenage lesbian lovers from Russia who happen to sing? That seems more like marketing masterstroke than pop music likelihood, so it's fair to question the authenticity of t.A.T.u.'s English language debut. It's impossible to know where t.A.T.u.'s talent begins and ends and just how much influence their various handlers and producer Trevor Horn had over 200 Km/h in the Wrong Lane, but it's probably a moot point to the intended demographic. Horn's background working with electro-pop dandies Pet Shop Boys and Frankie Goes to Hollywood is evident in the crisp, driving synth cushioning singers Lena Katina and Julia Volkova's gossamer vocals. Wink-nudge lyrical references to girls loving girls--presented in serviceable if phonetic English--are in evidence, though they're more coy than graphic. "All the Things She Said," a sparkly, chorus-driven rave-up, seems to make the case for sexual equality, while "Show Me Love"--which appears in regular and extended versions--is a dance floor missive aimed straight at the clubs. Best, though, is an unintentionally ironic cover of the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now." The song, a benchmark of loneliness and hopelessness, is utterly transformed into a chirpy duet which, all things considered, may be the best gimmick of all! --Kim Hughes  more

Some of the best electronic pop music that I've ever heard.

I still am having a hard time thinking why t.a.t.u.'s music is looked down upon by many fans of pop music. This IS pop music, plain and simple. And some of the greatest pop music that I've heard in a LONG time. I bought this cd after...

Awesome Beats, Horrible singing.

I highly respect the producers for making such nice songs. Unfortunately it's ruined by two Russian "lesbian" couples. The singing is horrible; they use their "good enough" voice and edit it on music software. I have no idea why people...

tATu Gimmick!

You thought Britney Spears was scandalous in a schoolgirl uniform? Then you're in for a ride. How about two Russian girls in school uniforms making out in the rain, which happens to wet their shirts to transparency? Well, that is what...
