Review: t.A.T.u. - All About Us
SENSES WORKING OVERTIME
By Kyle Gorman - 9/22/2005
t.A.T.u. - All About Us
Genre: Euro-Teen
Available: The forthcoming album.
Call me fickle, but when t.A.T.u.'s Julia Volkova (the dark-haired one) turned up pregnant with a married man's child, I thought the band was done. The duo, a collaboration between super-producer Trevor Horn (Yes, Frankie Goes To Hollywood) and a Russian psychologist, seemed doomed. After all, their trendsbian gimmick was faked. All About Us manages to grab all the stylistic tags of their previous singles and amp it up while remaining completely pure to their stated sound. The girls walk up a creepy scale, belting "If. You. Hurt. Her. You. Hurt. Me. Too." under orchestral samples only to nail the harmonized chorus. It feels like being hit in the back of the head with a medium-rare cut of Serge Gainsbourg's id. The vaguely domestic-violence lyrics are played out in the music video, where Julia is rescued from her abusive boyfriend by her bandmate. Horn and co. got it right - it really is all about t.A.T.u., and you can't get in on the action.
VERDICT: Hot.

*GASP*
An XTC reference, and a nod to Serge Gainsbourg .... in a TATU INTERVIEW? This guy is amazing. I've emailed him to express my thanks for a well-written American interview (finally).

"Euro-Teen"? Sure... I thought that is a categorisation more familiar from another sector of the entertainment industry?  |
