Olga Seryabkina about leaving the group SEREBRO: “Everything comes to an end someday”

Olga Seryabkina - singer, dancer, poetess, songwriter of Lolita Milyavskaya, Nargiz, Emin Agalarov and, of course, hits of the group SEREBRO, many of which became business card team. Olga has been in the group for more than 10 years, and it’s hard to imagine SEREBRO without her. It is not surprising that when a couple of years ago Olga began to develop her own solo project, in which she performs under the pseudonym Molly, fans of the band became worried: is she planning to leave SEREBRO? This year Olga released new song“If you don’t love me,” which she performed in a duet with Yegor Creed, and in June she presented the English-language single Fire, which successfully launched on iTunes. Having decided what it means to concentrate on solo career may still mean Seryabkina's departure to solo sailing, HELLO.RU asked Olga a question that interests her fans directly.

Olya, tell us about your plans. Are you planning to leave SEREBRO?

A question that is quite popular now. I can say for sure that one day this will happen - one hundred percent, because everything comes to an end. But I don't know when exactly. I can say that I am not one of those people who is in a hurry. I like not to think ahead now. And I don’t have the feeling that I want to be alone. On the contrary, I really value the time I spend in the group - despite all the talk and rumors that something is wrong with us, that we have hazing... In fact, all this is nonsense. For me SEREBRO is not work, it is life. SEREBRO is a living organism and most of my heart. Therefore, I don’t know when my departure will happen, when I will deal exclusively solo career, and I don’t want to think about it. IN this moment I don’t tour fully as a solo artist. But I’m thinking about starting to combine them after some time. I'm interested in trying to perform both as Molly and as the lead singer of the group.

Once Maxim Fadeev noted on his Instagram that a group of three soloists is the most unstable, in such groups the composition certainly changes. How do you feel about such changes?

A team of three people is really difficult. When there are three of you, you need to take into account the opinions of all three, compromises are necessary. But everything depends on the human factor: in one version of the composition it is unstable, not strong, but in another the group can exist for quite a long time. I love our team. And it's incredibly interesting. Being a musician is absolutely creative profession, life is inevitably oversaturated with events. For me everyone new round life in SEREBRO is always an adventure, and I really love these adventures. Now we have a very well-coordinated team. The girls and I understand each other perfectly, and this is exactly the state of stability that I was talking about. The three of us are comfortable and, I hope, this state will last long enough.

It seems that in Maxim Fadeev’s music label all the artists are friends. Here at the MUZ-TV awards SEREBRO soloists you were noticeably happy for Nargiz, who received the award, and she for you. Is it corporate consciousness, or are you so close to each other?

This is not happening on purpose - we really are friends. We are friends simply because we are all united by our love for Max’s music, love for our team, and we always treat each other with warmth. Max often gathers us together for some joint barbecues or picnics when he has free time from touring. And this is for real. When Nargiz won, I was incredibly happy for her, because I know how important it is for her, because I feel like this is my victory, because we are one team. Moreover, our company is now expanding, there are more and more artists, and I have already become friends with many. For example, Yura Semenyak is the lead singer of the group KET MORSI. I love him, talented musician! And Tumar from the CARTEL group. In general, we are all a great force and practically one family.

In February you released a collection of poems. What was the impetus for their publication?

I periodically published my poems on Instagram, read comments from people who wrote: they like what I do, it’s close to them. I wanted to share this further, and at some point I decided that it was time to release a book. I admit, I’m incredibly pleased that I even had to print additional circulation, because the first one sold out quickly. This suggests that the book needed to be released. In general, poetry for me is such a subtle art, my favorite. I like to find an exact definition for something barely noticeable. internal state. At this moment, you feel as if you couldn’t take a deep breath for a long time, but suddenly you did it. When I write, I definitely need to be alone so that no one disturbs me, and this is an amazing state.

Let's get back to your solo career. The song "If you don't love me" can also be performed by the group SEREBRO. But Fire is something completely new, more reminiscent of the music of Ayo, Asa or Imany. What key will the first one be in? solo album, if it is planned?

"If You Don't Love Me" Max and I wrote a few years ago. I remember I was flying to Chita and it was then that I wrote one verse and chorus - “If you don’t love me, then I don’t either, if you forget me, then I will too.” I showed the lines to Max, and for a long time we didn’t understand what to do with this song. I don't agree that this song is in the SEREBRO style - in my opinion, it's just the opposite. We didn't think it was right for the band, so we didn't release it. The song just lay there and waited in the wings. The text of the chorus is similar to a children's rhyme. That’s what Maxim told me: “You wrote a children’s song.” And this song was lying “on the shelf”, and then we somehow met on tour with Yegor Creed, I intuitively gave him a demo, and, apparently, Yegor realized that he should not miss this song.

I can say one more thing about the Fire track: it’s a confession to a man. I really like the song, I like to confess to people how I feel. At this moment some kind of magic happens, I call this state deep sea - deep sea. I like to confess my feelings to a person, I like to talk about everything openly. Even though there have been situations in my life where I have been hurt because I have an open heart, I still believe that this is the best and most indescribable state - when you can talk about what you feel.

Returning to the topic of the solo album, I won’t hide: I’m really working on it and on songs - both for the SEREBRO group and for the MOLLY project. At the same time, a solo album is not an end in itself for me. You can have 155 albums, but they will be just a number that will mean nothing to anyone, or you can write one, but people will listen to each song separately and all the songs together for at least another 100 years. So, this is exactly the kind of album I want. That's why I need more time. I already have a lot of songs that are ready for an album, but I’m in no hurry. I want something whole to come out, and it shouldn’t be thoughtless. I am against empty, empty songs. I am against action for the sake of action, without meaning.

The most popular question, but it’s impossible without it: what’s going on in your personal life?

I had very different periods in personal life. Now is the time when I like someone, but he doesn’t know about it. Usually I take the initiative myself: if I like someone, I go forward, and the man, as a rule, is the first to know about it. I'm not arrogant, but active. And now I like the person, but he doesn’t know about it, maybe he doesn’t even know, and I don’t want him to know. This is very different from how I behaved before. In general, this is my kind of game. She inspires me and let it be that way for now. I want this person to notice me and take the first step, if it is mutual. Maxim Fadeev and Olga Seryabkina

You are surrounded by fans and fellow musicians, but you have said more than once that Maxim Fadeev is for you special person, more than a producer. What did you mean?

He is my best friend. At the same time, I separate friendship and work. When Maxim makes a remark to me or voices some request, I always make sure that he does not repeat it twice. Max is an absolute authority for me, and I don’t see anything wrong with that. It’s just great love, respect for the person who did everything for me. There were situations when I acted differently - not as he told me, but then every time I regretted it, thinking that I should have done as he advised. Max can always count on me in any situation - this applies to both work and human communication. We are friends, we have been working for more than 10 years, and, so to speak, we live our great creative family, and that means a lot.

I hope that I will never let Max down. And what I say now, I also openly say to him. He changed my life. Every time I write a song with him as a co-writer, I approach it with the same reverence as the first time. It still seems incredible to me, and I am very grateful for the opportunity he gave, for what we create together and for the fact that he always hears me. I am very grateful to him for raising me to be a person who thinks and feels music.

Seryabkina occasionally performs separately from the team under the creative pseudonym Molly, thus realizing her ambitions. However, the artist does not plan to leave her native Serebro in the near future, no matter how fans and sharks of the pen send her on a solo voyage after Temnikova.

“I can say for sure that one day this will happen - one hundred percent, because everything comes to an end. But I don’t know when exactly. I can say that I’m not one of those people who is in a hurry. I like not to think ahead now. And I don’t have the feeling that I want to be alone,” Olga admitted.

At this point life stage she is comfortable working in alliance with Polina Favorskaya and Katya Kishchuk. “I really value the time I spend in the group, despite all the conversations and rumors that something is wrong with us, that we have hazing in the group. In fact, all this is nonsense,” Seryabkina assured.

According to the singer, she perceives her activities in the group not as work, for her it is something more. “Serebro is a living organism and a big part of my heart. Therefore, I don’t know when my departure will happen, when I will pursue an exclusively solo career, and I don’t want to think about it,” the trio’s website quotes the lead singer as Hello! .

Seryabkina does not go on tour as a solo artist. “But I’m thinking about starting to combine it after some time. I’m interested in trying to perform both as Molly and as the lead singer of the group,” Olga noted.

According to the performer, producer Maxim Fadeev is not only her boss, but also best friend. “At the same time, I separate friendship and work. When Maxim makes a remark to me or voices a request, I always make sure that he doesn’t repeat it twice. Max for me is an absolute authority, and I don’t see anything wrong with that,” said singer. “It’s just great love, respect for a person who means a lot to me, who did everything for me.”

Seryabkina hopes that she will never let Fadeev down. "He changed my life. Every time I write a song with him as a co-writer, I approach it with the same reverence as the first time. It still seems incredible to me, and I am very grateful for the opportunity he gave, "for the fact that we create together and for the fact that he always hears me. I am very grateful to him for the fact that he raised me as a person who thinks and feels music," Olga, who has been successfully collaborating with Maxim for more than ten years, emotionally summed up.

By the way, the producer previously admitted on Instagram that this group was very, very difficult for him. Fadeev was ready to close Serebro 10,000 times due to the unbearable atmosphere inside, but still found the strength to continue writing music for the group.

"Serebro is one of the most complex human configurations that one could imagine... by creating a team of three people, you obviously doom yourself to continuous conflict situations in it. Because two will always unite against one,” Fadeev complained.

According to Max, he is grateful to all the artists who have ever sung in the group. “Each brought something different to Serebro. And I don’t regret that I once invited this or that soloist to become part of the team. Some were stronger, some were weaker. But the “triangle” effect worked without failures .) 😩Therefore my nervous system was crucified for these 10 years,” the producer complained. – Lately the situation began to change. The girls are trying to behave more carefully towards me."

Not long ago it became known that one of the lead singers of the popular girl group SEREBRO, Daria Shashina, has health problems. The 25-year-old blonde told her fans that she was diagnosed with “congenital dysplasia of the knee joints,” a pathology of tissue formation. Considering that the girls work on stage with full dedication to the audience, the disease began to progress due to constant stress. Well, two weeks ago Daria suffered a torn meniscus in her right knee.

But then both the bandmates and producer Maxim Fadeev really hoped that the disease could be overcome, and they would not have to look for a replacement for Daria. However, today fans of the girl pop group were very upset by the news that Shashina would still have to leave the group.

“We really hoped that a miracle would happen, Dasha would get better and there would be no need to leave SEREBRO. But doctors categorically insist on operations. I can't help but say that this is terrible news for all of us. We love her very much, she is our child. If she has the desire and strength later, I am always waiting for her, our doors are always open. On May 1, Dasha must leave the team at the insistence of doctors. Therefore, now I am forced to announce an urgent casting,” Maxim Fadeev said on his microblog page.

It is worth saying that because of such haste, it was decided to select girls for Shashina’s place online. Moreover, within a week all fans will know the name new soloist groups.

I must say that fans were upset when they learned that Daria would have to undergo several operations, which caused her to leave her beloved team. "What a nightmare. What a pity that Dashulya is leaving. I wish her a speedy recovery,” “Everything won’t be the same without Dasha,” “It’s a pity for Dasha, let him recover and return to the group,” wrote fans of the group.

IN currently Daria is concerned about the upcoming treatment. “I just now got from the doctor, out of all the five clinics I visited - this is the only one that put everything in order and the worst thing - the doctor said that I should stop my performances and urgently undergo surgery on both legs, without touching on the issue of dysplasia. Now I’m discussing this issue with my loved ones,” Daria told StarHit.

But, despite the sad occasion, many are trying to use the chance to become part of the group. The production center's requirements for singers are quite simple. The girl's age should be 22-26 years old, weight up to 55 kilograms, but what surprised fans most was that the soloist cannot be taller than 164 centimeters. And, of course, future star must have brilliant vocal and choreographic abilities.

In the spring of 2014, Elena Temnikova suddenly left the Serebro group, being the most popular of the trio and at the peak of fan love. For many, this departure looked strange - no one understood the reason for the change of the public's favorite soloist.

Neither the singer herself, nor the producer, nor the group members commented on the situation other than “she left for health reasons.” Later for a long time Elena finally decided to reveal the true motives for her departure.

It is unknown why Temnikova decided to reveal the truth only now, but in a recent interview with the magazine “Caravan of Stories” she laid out everything that she had to face as the lead singer of a shocking trio.

When the group was just created, the emphasis was on tenderness and sensuality - there was not even a thought about any shocking sexuality or provocations. Those fans who have been with the Serebro group from the very beginning remember what chaste outfits the girls wore on stage, how they moved and what they sang. However, after some time, the concept of the group and the vision of producer Maxim Fadeev regarding appearance, manners and presentation of material by the group have changed significantly.

The further we went, the more revealing stage and everyday outfits became, the dances became more provocative, and the lyrics were sometimes downright obscene (just remember latest clips or the so popular “Mama Lyuba” with its show-off and frank video).

I felt terrible and could hardly restrain myself from bursting into tears. She was a homely, complex girl - not at all about sex. And Fadeev began to mold us into some kind of sexy “terrorists”, because erotica and scandals sell best. I complained: this is not mine, I’m ashamed. He didn't listen, he said he knew better. On the other hand, a contract is a contract.

Temnikova also cannot forgive the producer for the PR novels that were attributed to her to attract attention. There was a lot of noise then around the singer’s relationship with Fadeev’s brother. The star admitted that she refused to deceive her fans, but threats from management forced her to follow their lead.

Maxim Fadeev appointed me as the head of them; he did not involve other girls. Ostensibly due to the lower rating. First there was the story with Edgard Zapashny, quite harmless. I wish I knew what awaits next! One day, 10-15 minutes before the performance, Maxim called: “Len, my brother Artem has a musical coming out soon, he needs promotion. We figured out that you were having an affair. Give an interview to a popular publication, tell them that you are dating, that you are thinking about marriage

Maxim Fadeev tried to turn the group members into real “sex bombs”, since this is what the public loves and such material sells well. That is, he really sold them as some kind of thing... The singer herself did not consider herself a sexual seductress and felt awkward from revealing outfits. The girl repeatedly complained to the producer about excessive “nudity,” which made her feel absolutely awkward and uncomfortable, but Fadeev stood his ground. At times, Temnikova admitted, she had to restrain herself so as not to cry on stage. Friendly relations with the soloists, in particular with Olga Seryabkina, were also just a game for the public. Elena was “helped” to finish her work in the group and escape “from bondage” by her poor health - stomach ulcers and serious knee problems, and by her husband, whom the singer met after one of the concerts in Sochi and who helped her find money to pay the penalty.

Now, trying to figure out how the situation with the Serebro group reached such intensity, the singer makes an assumption as to why the producer treated her that way:

There is one guess. Many years ago, Maxim invited me to dinner, where he made it clear that he was still young, full of strength and knew how to make me happy. I immediately closed this topic once and for all. Perhaps I offended him with this?

But all this is left behind, Elena is truly happy with her husband, whom she carefully hid from the press for a long time, protecting her fragile happiness. Only in 2015 did she begin to appear openly with her husband, 32-year-old Dmitry Sergeev, president of an it company (content provider Playmobile).

We have a very affectionate relationship. Romantic surprises are present in our lives every day. It is impossible to get used to them, they are different every day. Flowers, a note left on the table, a declaration of love made out of candy, an unexpected date. Love is a person’s willingness to do everything for his loved one: move mountains, pull a star from the sky, let him sleep. Anything to make your loved one feel good

On Instagram, she admitted that she was going to engage in self-knowledge and learn spiritual practices: “Having traveled to Cambodia and doing mediation there every day, my heart opened to me, and I understood everything. I want to know myself. Get to know your body and mind. Learn to listen to your heart always! Because the heart is the only true guide when you know how to use it! I want to go through various practices! I want to go to India, Tibet, Peru! But this is impossible to do in a group! For 10 days of vacation per year. With these thoughts I spent the remaining days of my vacation, thinking about how to tell Maxim Alexandrovich about this. Will he understand me? Will you feel it?

The group's producer Maxim Fadeev was sympathetic to Favorskaya's choice, posted a video message on his Instagram and called new clip group “In Space” with a symbolic farewell to Polina: “There will be changes in the SEREBRO group - Polina is leaving the group, but the date has not yet been set. I think this will happen in the coming months. She decided to try herself in different directions, I'm very happy for her. Polinka, I wish you all the best, you know. We all love you and are waiting for you at any time.”

Another lead singer of the group Serebro Olga Seryabkina, performing under the pseudonym Molly, commented on Polina’s decision very touchingly. The singer confessed her love for her friend. According to Olga, the departure of each participant from the Serebro group was a rather difficult moment for her. She stated that Polina Favorskaya is a very close person to her, so they will continue to communicate in the future.
