It's #THROWBACKTHURSDAY - All about us─── 13:50 Thu, 26 Jun 2014
Playing you the songs that disappeared, the songs that will bring back memories you almost forgot about! It's #THROWBACKTHURSDAY.
The young Russian duo t.A.T.u. were very controversial with their debut album “200km/h in the wrong lane”. Yes you remember Julia Volkova and Lena Katina. Their Russian name is actually "Taty" (Tatu) which sounds like the English word "tattoo", it is also a shortening hint to the Russian phrase meaning "This girl loves that girl".
For the release of their first English-language album, they decided to go by t.A.T.u., using uppercase letters and periods to distinguish themselves from an already existing Australian band, Tatu.
They rose to fame in July 2002, when Blender magazine praised the group by saying "We have seen the future of rock & roll ... to say you've never seen or heard anything quite like it is a colossal understatement." t.A.T.u. were then heralded by The Face magazine as "The hottest popstars in the world right now."
In February 2014 the duo trended on social media sites with #tatucomeback but the duo have denied any reunion rumours.
A memory that stands out for me is the 1999 classic - 10 things I hate about you!
Take a listen to Kat's moving poem from the film!
