Welcome to The Tatu Picture Sites! This site truly contains only high quality scans, so you can stop searching for Tatu pictures from now on! For those new to the site, my philosophy on exactly what constitutes 'high quality' is found here. Be sure to check out all three picture galleries to your left.This teenage dance pop duo became the biggest selling Russian act of the new millennium owing to a clever marketing strategy that played on the suggestive nature of the two singers barely legal lesbian love affair. The fact that Julia (b. Volkova Yulia Olegovna, 20 February 1985) and Lena (b. Katina Elena Sergeevna, 4 October 1984) both had boyfriends did not detract from the brilliance of the ploy. The project was the creation of Russian producer Ivan Shapovalov, who sifted through thousands of candidates for t.A.T.u. at open auditions before choosing Olegovna and Sergeevna. Enlisting various producers to help record the duo's debut album, Shapovalov fashioned a suitably sleazy electro pop musical backdrop to complement the duo's featherweight voices. Their debut single "Ya Soshla S Uma' (I Lost My Mind) became a massive hit in the girls' native Russia, owing in no small part to a video featuring titillating footage of Olegovna and Sergeevna acting out the song's Sapphic storyline. The video became an instant hit on MTV Europe, encouraging Shapovalov to hire noted UK producer Trevor Horn to oversee the recording of t.A.T.u."s English language debut. Featuring reworked versions of songs from the duo's Russian debut, the album was premiered by a new version of "Ya Soshla S Uma" retitled "All The Things She Said". The song duly topped the UK charts in February 2002 amid criticisms that Shapovalov was promoting "paedophiliac pop".Discography (Albums): 2001 200 по встречной 2002 200 по встречной (2nd Edition) 2002 200km/h in the Wrong Lane 2004 Remixes 2005 Dangerous and Moving 2005 Люди Инвалиды
