Today, May 19, along with the “ballerina”, which is already available on the network , the “sea” is released - the duet Dasha Schulz and the leader of Therr Maitz Anton Belyaev. You can listen to him first and right now:

Dasha Schulz about changes in life, "ballerina", acquaintance with Anton Belyaev and cover versions

My life has changed dramatically recently. I deducted from the university, moved to Moscow and entered the new university. Now I am studying clinical psychology, as always I wanted. But the main reason for moving is music. She is in the first place for me. The musicians with whom I play live in Moscow. It was impossible to combine our musical life. And now I can study, work and engage in music for nothing.

After the first Moloko album , many listeners mistakenly thought that I was a nice little girl: love, soap bubbles, plush bears ... But I am not like that. It seems to me that the “ballerina” shows the other side of Dasha Schulz. Not so bright.

My new song period began with the "ballerina". I began to play on the synthesizer - all new songs on it were written. The “ballerina” came the very first and determined both sound and concept, and in general the whole album, setting a certain coordinate system. At that moment, when we found our new approach, our technology, songs began to be born quite easily and quickly.

I am not a nice little girl.

When I write songs, the process is not remembered for me, these are some very strong emotions. It so often happens that I write in some kind of trance and only then I understand that I wrote something. This comes from some events in my life. Quarrel, meeting with a new person. The photo seen or the movie. Or I just looked out the window, thought about something. I don't even really understand how much time has passed.

I met Anton Belyaev in the studio of Igor Matvienko, where he recorded his album. Then I was a special guest at his concert at Crocus City Hall. I did not offer him to record a duet. I don’t even know how it happened. Most likely, it was the idea of ​​Oleg Nesterov, and everything somehow spun. The song "Sea" was not written for the duet, but Anton Belyaev's voice fit perfectly there. I respect what Anton does. I have the music of Therr Maitz in the player, and I went to a couple of his concerts as a spectator and dancing rampant.

Caves, I don't record anymore. Sometimes I play something for myself or develop vocals on other people's songs-for example, I sing “Wuthering Heights” Kate Bush. But this is the maximum. Recently, I don't like someone else's music. Does not climb into me. Maybe this is due to the fact that we recorded the album. My head was completely busy with my own music.
