The trio SEREBRO consists of Elena Temnikova, Olga
Seryabkina, and Anastasya Karpova. The band was founded by a well-known Russian
producer Maxim Fadeev in 2006. Success as a music group came in 2007 with the
girls participating in Eurovision Song Contest. SEREBRO showed Europe their
debut single “Song#1” performance which zoomed them to #3, and made the trio
well-known in Russia and beyond it. After “Song#1” release the group continued
with their spawning singles “Dishi”, “Opium”, “Skazhi – ne molchi”, which
topped the major Russian music charts. SEREBRO has already recorded their debut
album “OpiumROZ” which was called by Billboard magazine – one of the leading Russian
music editions - “the most expected release of 2008”. SEREBRO has developed its
conceptual and austere image. Still, the girls are always open for something
different: they’re in a constant search for new images, new forms of
self-expression, and new waves. That’s the catch of the trio which continues to
attract people to its fast-developing music work. The group already has a lot
of awards and prizes: “Zolotoy Grammofon”, “Kommersant-rating 2007” as the best
debut and many others. The collection of awards includes a deserved “Russian
Doll” prize in the “Best Debut” nomination, that was presented by MTV RMA 2007,
and already in 2008 SEREBRO was chosen as the BEST group of the year by MTV
Russia audience.Listen song here:YouTube
Exuberant, loud-mouthed, and regularly adorned with a
bejeweled pimp chalice at hand, Lil Jon was the charismatic figurehead of the
Dirty South crunk movement that arose from the Atlanta area around the turn of
the century. Born Jonathan Smith on January 27, 1971, in Atlanta, GA, the
producer/rapper began his rap industry ascension as part of Jermaine Dupri's So
So Def label, for which he worked from 1993 to 2000. In the mid-'90s Lil Jon
began making a name for himself as a producer with a knack for club remixes.
Before long he formed his own group, Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz,
comprised of Big Sam and Lil Bo, in addition to himself. "Get Low"
was a club phenomenon throughout 2003; Part II, a CD/DVD EP released toward the
end of the year, featured dancehall and merengue remixes of the song, along
with additional material. Lil Jon's production style became ubiquitous on urban
radio thereafter, as "Salt Shaker" (a production for the Ying Yang
Twins), "Goodies" (Ciara), "Yeah!" (Usher),
"Freek-a-Leek" (Petey Pablo), "Shorty Wanna Ride" (Young
Buck), "Damn!" (YoungBloodZ), "Let's Go" (Trick Daddy),
"Culo" (Pitbull), "Head Bussa" (Lil Scrappy), "Neva
Eva" (Trillville), and "Shake That Monkey" (Too Short) all
garnered significant airplay in 2003-2004. By this point, the celebrity of Lil
Jon was such that comedian Dave Chappelle was memorably satirizing him
(especially his signature "yeaaah!" and "whaaat!?"
expressions) on a couple episodes of The Chappelle Show.Listen song here:YouTube
