From the Label
After a 2 year break, t.A.T.u. the most controversial band in pop return with a new single "All About Us". The single is the first to be taken from their second studio album Dangerous & Moving, the follow up to the 5 million selling 200KM/hour In The Wrong Lane which spawned the massive hit "All The Things She Said".

Customer Reviews

The greatest Russian exports, fact.
'All About Us' is the first single to be lifted from 'Dangerous & Moving'. As you've probably heard, it's a track which expands on the sound of the debut album. It has the rhythmical feel of 'All The Things She Said' with a more immense sound. It is synths, strings and drums galore creating a perfect balance on the borders of pop and rock. The chorus is unbelievably infectious which does result in you singing along, even though the notes are impossible to reach. The orchestral sound which features heavily in this album is a prominent part of this songs appeal. The girls voices have definitely matured and aren't as harsh as some said they were on the first album. Expect big things from this single!

'Cosmos' calms your fears that this album may not be as perfect as the first single suggests. This album is even better than the first single suggests! 'Cosmos' is a raw, drum packed rock track. It is rock; it's dark and moving and burst into musical flames when the chorus starts. The lyrics are a bit wacky, but that just makes the song more interesting. The russian accents create a James Bond-esque feel. A potential single and future film soundtrack.

'Loves Me Not' grabs you in the first few seconds. Yulia's vocals are sweet and addictive and lure you into the dreamlike sounds of the first verses. But the chorus definitely packs a punch, a huge contrast with the delicate disposition of the verses. Another track which must be a single!

'Friend or Foe' features Sting on bass. It is quite 80s sounding and has definitely been influenced by Stings past work, only with one of the big catchy choruses that are now synonymous with the girls. The guitar solo, performed by the man himself, is the high point of this track.

'Gomenesai' means sorry in Japanese. It is rumoured that this track was made as an apology to Japan after t.A.T.u.'s behaviour during a promotional tour in 2003. However the song is metaphorical in that the lyrics speak about losing a friend and not being able to say you're sorry. The string arrangements are by Richard Carpenter and they are simply magnificent. The girls were very lucky to have such great collaborators because they really bring something special to the album.

The presence of Trevor Horn on 'Craving' is evident. The vocals are perfectly presented and the sound is rich and powerful. However, the lyrics do sound like they are written by one of the Russian cohorts. The intro for the track is perhaps the most unique sounding on the album. The use of wind pipes makes it sound like the opening sequence of a 1960s British film set on the Yorkshire Moors. Or something similar.

One of the things t.A.T.u. do best on this album are the instrumental breakdowns. When 'Craving' hits the two minute mark the music becomes pure heaven, in synth and strings form. This song touches on a new sound for the girls and further demonstrates their musical progression.

'Sacrifice' has a very Sting-esque guitar opening and might fool a few unknowing individuals to think this is the track he worked on. It is similar to 'All About Us' in that it's not quite rock, but it's definately not pop.

'We Shout' is an English version of a Russian track called 'Nichya'. It is an atmospheric ballad with lyrics which seem to hint at the troublesome relationship t.A.T.u. had with their former producer. It is very beautiful sounding with a dark, haunting chorus.

'Perfect Enemy' further builds on the sound from the debut album. It is enigmatic and yearning with its shimmering computer synths and monotone, robotic vocals.

Yes 'Obezyanka Nol' is a Russian track but don't let that put you off. The girls sing with such emotion that you get an understanding of the poetic nature of the Russian words even though you probably don't speak the language. The chorus is especially impressive, Yulia sings with a strength and passion that is completely mesmerising. A definite stand out track.

The title track 'Dangerous & Moving' has a superb opening, which is probably why it features twice on this album, once as the introduction and again in the closing track. 'Dangerous & Moving' is a fast paced, drum packed track in the style of 'Not Gonna Get Us' - it sounds like the musical forum of a rollercoaster. There is the despair and feather light vocals in the verses which plunge into a screeching chorus and later lead to a guitar breakdown which turns the tempo on its head.

These girls are serious about their music and their sound is unrivalled. Ignore your preconceptions and pay no attention to what parts of the media try to tell you. The music here is a one of a kind and you don't want to miss out.

If You Like Dangerous Then Start Moving...
"Dangerous and Moving is t.A.T.u.'s sophmore album. After not hearing anything from them for about 3 years, they strike again. "Dangerous and Moving" is an album that takes life by itself. It's very emotional. It might make you feel happy, sad, angry, screaming for hours, and even be crazy, just singing the songs. The production and the girls voices are much better. And even though the sound is not quite as "200 KM/H In The Wrong Lane" it still has t.A.T.u. in it. Im not saying that "200KM/H In The Wrong Lane" is better, is just t.A.T.u. in a different way. The album contains the Top-10 Hit "All About Us" and the next hit "Friend or Foe", if you like any of these two believe me that the album won't dissapoint you. It still has much more in it than that. The album is just perfect in the sense that it is t.A.T.u. and they are back.

Dangerous and Moving- Amazing album!
Firstly- yes, it's not released, but I've been lucky enough to hear all of the songs from the album.

The album is simply fantastic- even better than the debut album "200 Km/h in the wrong lane".

If you think "All about us" is good, then you're in for a treat!

The songs on the album are as follows:

All about us
Cosmos
We shout
Friend or Foe
Perfect Enemies
Obezyanka Nol
Loves me not
Craving
Gomenesai
Sacrifice
Dangerous and Moving

The "slower" songs are "We shout" and "Gomenesai". Gomenesai is actually in English, is basically just a piano with voice. It's a really nice song, and "We shout" really is simply fantastic. If anyone has heard the Russian song "Nichya", it is just a translation.

Everything else is more up-beat. Really, all of the songs (except for "Craving" which I really don't like at all...) are just as good as any t.A.T.u. single. All extremely catchy, with great choruses and excellent music. The lyrics are also rather intreguing.

The best song on the album, I think, is "Obezyanka Nol"- simply fantastic! A real masterpiece.

Overall, this album is absolutely brilliant, and I would encourage anybody to buy it. If you had your doubts after the debut album, this one will really make you want more. Simply, this is the best pop album I've heard... ever!

Enjoy! You definitely will. This really is great stuff from Lena and Yulia.
