Sergey
Girlfriend [single]
“One
of the biggest artistes since Tatu
to emerge from Russia, singer and actor
Sergey has recently completed a UK
tour which took in London’s
legendary
Heaven Nightclub — and he has been
wowing audiences with his incredible
catchy music and amazing dance
routines...”
WITH A SEDUCTIVELY ATTRACTIVE VOICE and a funky, hi-energy track — Girlfriend
— this is one man who cannot fail to be noticed and it's no surprise
that he's tipped as Russia's answer to Mika.
Girlfriend is the next single to be released from Sergey's award-winning
album Tv Show, out on June 23 (2008), and it follows on from the hot
club track Everytime, which reached Number 10 in the UK Commercial Pop
Club Chart.
Girlfriend is a terrific, racy track with clear vocals. Great party and
club fodder. I got a blast of the big music sound of the 70s before it stole
from 80's funk and hit the spot that brings it right up to date. Cool!
Sergey
started his career in a band called Neposedi — along with Julia and Lena,
the duo who became Tatu — and in 2000 he entered Moscow's famous MKHAT
theatre school where he created a boy-duet 'Smash!!' with childhood friend Vlad
Topalov. They were immediately signed by Universal Music Russia and became one
of the brightest Russian pop-wonders in 2002-2003 with no less than five Number
One hits, numerous awards and millions of copies sold in Russia, CIS and South
East Asia.
Sergey went solo in 2005 alongside Grammy award-winning producer Brian Rawling,
and this collaboration added another edge to Sergey's music. The result was
his debut solo album Don't Be Fake, which was released in Russia and
instantly sold more than 300,000 copies — earning him the prestigious Russian
National Music TV Channel's MUZ TV Award as Best New Act in 2006. He then went
on to finish second in the Russian version of Dancing On Ice, which cemented
his place among the leading performers in his home country.
In the UK, Sergey has already made an impact in clubland with his first single
and title track from his album, FAKE, released via Eurosolution to UK
clubs and debuting on July 30 (2006) at number 28 in the Commercial Music Club
Chart in Music Week — where it spent seven weeks, reaching a high
at number 14.
• There's nothing fake about Sergey —
he's real, he's great, he's original and he's releasing his infectious new single
Girlfriend on June 16 (2008) on Style records. His album, TV Show,
will be released on 23 June (2008).
