Thread: Russian Pop Music

For people who look for russian pop music for a nice way to get acquainted to the russian language here are some of the artists I like.

• Братья Грим (try the song Стерва)
• Юлиа Савичева (try Я так тебя жду (on youtube, real tears )
• Ёлка (try Бросай live)
• Слава
• Нюша
• IOWA (try Улыбайся)
• Ирина Билык
• Ирина Дубцова
• Ночные снайперы
• Полина Гагарина
• Ани Лорак (some songs in ukrainian)
• Город 312
• Макс Фадеев (try Беги по небу)
• МумиЙ Тролль
• Quest Pistols
• Светлана Лобода
• Cerebro (a lot of songs are in english)
• KEiPA (try На юг)

It's usually quite easy to find lyrics for the songs of these artists.
Their music is easily found on rutracker.org too but that's another story

I wonder, could you listen on Yandex Music or the resource is only for users residing in Russia?

For example, does this link open?
https://music.yandex.ru/artist/717399

"Бесплатное прослушивание доступно только пользователям
из России, Украины, Беларуси и Казахстана." huh =/

Damn it!

Hi Maxmixiv,

The link opens but I'm not allowed to play the songs.

Бесплатное прослушивание доступно только пользователям из России, Украины, Беларуси и Казахстана.
Free audition is available only to users From Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

But I have a good source from ELLO etc. on Youtube and I also have a VK account.
I can get almost any music from rutracker.org though.
I have all 3 of Нюша's albums.

zhubajie,
So you are an advanced listener
For a moment I thought that anybody could listen on music.yandex.ru but alas...

VK also has a lot of music but I'm old school and I prefer to download stuff so I can put it on my players
Streaming is not for me.

Absolutely! I use both my ears!

Tips for good music are very welcome b.t.w.

Most Russian pop music has a nice beat to it and is great for speedwalking.

I also like progressive rock but for now I mostly look at Poland for that because they have many excellent bands in that genre (Millennium, Riverside, Quidam,...).
If anyone knows good Russian progrock bands I'd be very interested.

The music that Макс Фадеев has made in the past I like a lot too. Too bad he mostly stopped making it. I guess he has his hands full with producing etc.

KEiPA is great '80's music (think of New Order, The Cure, etc.)
