Silver group members. Group "Silver": composition, origin and development of the team

Quite a lot of time has passed since Lena Temnikova left the popular SEREBRO group. During this period, the singer managed to get married, become the mother of a charming girl Sashenka, launch a solo project and her own business. In a word, the star does not stand still. The team from which she once left is also actively developing. Despite the fact that both the group and Lena herself have been living their own lives for a long time, some details from the past sometimes still emerge. Only two years later Temnikova found the strength to tell the truth about her departure and reveal the details of cooperation with the production center of Maxim Fadeev.

Recall that the previously famous producer said that his former ward simply set the team up when, unexpectedly for everyone, she decided to leave the group, having found personal happiness. At the same time, everything happened six months before the expiration of the contract, and therefore Fadeev had financial claims against the singer. After a while, Lena Temnikova found the necessary funds in order to "redeem her freedom."

Remembering the time when she was still singing with SEREBRO, the artist is horrified by the things she had to go through. So, for example, Temnikova cannot forgive the producer for the fact that she, like other soloists of the group, was gradually “undressed” for filming and performances. In the end, the group gained crazy popularity, but was known as a very depraved and liberated. It was not easy for Lena to put up with this.

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

She cannot forget Temnikova and PR novels, to which Temnikova went at the request of the production center. So, for example, the alleged love story with Edgard Zapashny was replicated. No less noise was made by reports of Temnikova's relationship with Fadeev's brother. Lena claims that at first she refused to openly lie to the viewer, but the producer's threats and attempts to punish her did their job.

“He could not stand disobedience,” says the singer. - I wanted to decide everything for everyone: with whom to communicate, how to dress, what time to return home. I had to constantly report and not let go of the phone around the clock - suddenly it would call. She reported that she ate for breakfast, how much the scales show, and every time I heard from Max that I was fat and I needed to lose more weight.

The artist also noted that the producer was categorically against her real novels, explaining that this or that love story could adversely affect the reputation of the group. One way or another, she didn’t plan to build a serious relationship with one of Temnikov’s boyfriends - at that time she was completely immersed in work.

Only after meeting her future husband, the artist realized that she had to do everything to free herself from obligations to the producer. In this matter, the star was helped by her chosen one Dmitry, who not only paid the production center the very penalty that caused a real scandal at the end of 2014, but also supported his beloved.

Analyzing the events of recent years, the ex-soloist of the SEREBRO group concluded that she had greatly offended the team and, probably, therefore, after a long time, she still faces the consequences of her departure.

"Why? Don't know. Although 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 hit him with this? - Lena Temnikova reflects in an interview "Caravan of stories".

It happens like this: you come up with something, plan, take on the implementation, and then hop - and everything does not go according to plan, but it turns out even better than planned. This is exactly what happened to the composer and arranger with his production project - the Silver group.

Compound

The idea to create a female pop group that is different from other similar pop projects came to mind - a participant in the second "Star Factory", curated by Fadeev. As the producer himself admitted in an interview, it was originally planned that the group would be focused on the Asian music market.

The first composition of the Silver group: Elena Temnikova, Olga Seryabkina, Marina Lizorkina

The first line-up was formed in 2006. First, Temnikova invited a backing vocalist to the group, who at that time was working with another pupil of Fadeev. Max himself found the next participant via the Internet - she became a Moscow artist. In this composition, the girls recorded and performed until June 2009 - then Marina came to replace - a girl from Balakovo.

In 2010, there were rumors about the departure of its founder Elena Temnikova from the group. There was a rumor among the fans that the conflict with the producer, which arose because of the soloist's romance with Fadeev's brother, was to blame. But the rumor was not confirmed, and Elena remained to delight her fans with her vocals (and not only).

The next castling took place in September 2013: Karpova left the group, and a native of Nizhny Novgorod became the new soloist of "Silver".

A year later, Temnikova nevertheless left the group - the contract was nearing its end, and the girl did not want to renew it. Elena's place was taken by a girl born in Podolsk.

In March 2016, in the official public of the Silver group during "In contact with" there was information that the team was looking for a replacement for Daria Shashina. On April 13 of the same year, the surname and name of the new member of the group became known to the audience - Shashin was replaced. The last line-up changes took place in November 2017.

Music

Initially, the Silver team was planned as an English-speaking group for China, Japan and some other Asian countries. However, everything changed at the moment when a familiar producer from Channel One found out about Fadeev's work and asked him to nominate girls for a competition dedicated to the selection of Russian representatives at Eurovision 2007. Max agreed reluctantly.

The little-known singers from "Silver" beat even such favorites as "Band'Eros" and "Beasts" in the competition, and as a result flew to Helsinki (Finland) to represent their country at the international music competition. With their song "Song # 1" Seryabkina, Temnikova and Lizorkina took third place, losing the first two participants from Serbia (Maria Sherifovich) and Ukraine ().

When the girls returned home with an "honorary bronze", their track "Song # 1" was already on the radio. Also in the rotation was the Russian-language version of the song, which in a short time reached the top of the charts, and not only in Russian: "Song # 1" became popular in Switzerland, Denmark, Latvia and even in the UK.

On the wave of popularity, two more previously recorded songs were released - "Breathe" and "What's Your Problem". As a result, "Silver" becomes the best debut of 2007 according to the MTV Russia Music Awards, as well as the best-selling Russian group of the same year according to the World Music Awards.

The beginning and middle of 2008 are associated with two songs and videos - "Opium" and "Why". Toward the end of the year, the group released a new single - "Say, do not be silent", which already in December took first place in the charts. Also in 2008, "Silver" received an award from the MTV Russia Music Awards in the category "Best Group". In honor of such an event, the girls presented their new track “Sound sleep” right at the ceremony.

The debut album of the girls was released only at the end of April 2009. It was called "Opium Roz" and included 11 songs. The authoritative edition of Billboard dubbed "Opium Roz" the most anticipated release of 2009.

Toward the end of the year, with a renewed line-up, the group recorded the song "Sweet", which a little later topped the hit parade "100 Most Rotated Songs". At the same time, the Silver group was involved in major musical events in the country: Song of the Year, Golden Gramophone and New Wave.

In November 2010, in honor of the release of the new song Let's Hold Hands, Temnikova, Seryabkina and Karpova were featured on the cover of Billboard. Also, several photos were inside the magazine.

2011 was marked by the hit "Mama Lover", as well as its Russian version "Mama Lyuba". In addition to the video on YouTube and performance at concerts, this composition was also performed in the domestic comedy tape (“Bitter”, “”) “The Best Day”. In the film, in addition to Olga Seryabkina, they starred, and a number of equally well-known artists.

The girls spent 2012 in Mexico, participating in the El Gran Concierto festival and in the filming of the Vacation in Mexico program. Inspired by the color of the country, the group wrote the song "Gun", as well as its Russian version "Boy". Returning home, "Silver" presented a new composition at the show "Evening Urgant". A little later, the second album was released, named after last year's hit "Mama Lover".

In honor of Valentine's Day 2013, the group released the track "Sexy ass". It did not become such a hit as many of the group's previous songs, so another composition was soon released - "Not enough of you."

The fate of this song was more successful - "Not enough of you" took the honorable first place in the charts of Russia, Ukraine and even Poland.

In 2013, the singers visited China, where they presented the song "Mi Mi Mi". The composition with uncomplicated text simply captivated the listeners, and not only in China. According to statistics, the largest number of song downloads is from citizens of Japan, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, and Ireland.

The hit of 2014 was the song "I won't give you up." After Temnikova left the group and Favorskaya appeared, another interesting composition was recorded - “No More Needed”. The following year gave the fans of the group "Silver" two more songs - "Let me go" and "Confused". Clips were filmed for both compositions and aired on music TV channels.

On May 27, 2016, the girls released their third album, The Power of Three. Unlike the previous two, this one had tracks created with the participation of other musicians and performers - DJ M.E.G. and Yellow Claw. Critics and fans have noted that the album is actually a release of previous singles under one cover.

Toward the end of the year, the girls delighted their fans with two new tracks and videos - “Chocolate” and “Broken”. The last composition was inspired by the emerging problem of the so-called "death groups" (communities in social networks that persuade children and adolescents to commit suicide).

At the beginning of 2017, the group "Silver" released the video "Pass", based on the composition of the same name. A little later, the girls became the face of the Sephora perfume and cosmetics chain (owned by Louis Vuitton), whose products appeared in the following video works of the group.

Group "Silver" now

The year 2017 was marked for the group by appearing on the Big Russian Boss Show, a popular satirical show that airs on YouTube video hosting. Also this year, such hits as “Love Between Us” and “In Space” were released.

Among the latest news is another replacement of the performer. On November 17, the casting ended, as a result of which a young (born in 1998) resident of St. Petersburg became the new soloist. According to the information specified in the group, Morgunova will replace Polina Favorskaya, whose contract expires in 2017.

After soloist Daria Shashina left the Serebro group, an urgent casting was announced. Casting was carried out directly on the network. About 60 thousand participants applied for the place of the soloist in the popular group. Of these, 10 applicants were selected. Everyone could take part in the voting. As a result, 50 thousand people cast their votes, of which 27 thousand were cast specifically for Kateryna Kishchuk. “This is a clear victory, one hundred percent.

In the very near future Olga Seryabkina, Polina Favorskaya and Katya Kishchuk will start recording a new single called Chocolate.

Daria Shashina, now a former soloist of the Silver group, left the band at the end of March. The reason for leaving was the congenital dysplasia of the knee joints discovered in the singer.

For this reason, she had to leave the group, but Maxim Fadeev said that if Daria Shashina decides to return, he will gladly accept the singer back.

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

At this stage in her life, she is comfortable working in alliance with Polina Favorskaya and Katya Kishchuk. “I really appreciate the time I spend in the group, despite all the talk 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,” Hello! .

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

According to the performer, producer Maxim Fadeev is not only her boss, but also her best friend. “At the same time, I share friendship and work. When Maxim makes a remark to me or voices some kind of request, I always make sure that he does not repeat twice. Max is an absolute authority for me, and I don’t see anything wrong with that,” she said. singer - It's just a lot of love, respect for a person who means a lot to me, who has done 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 as reverently as the first time. It still seems incredible to me, and I am very grateful for the opportunity given to them, for the fact that we create together and for the fact that he always hears me. I am very grateful to him for raising a person who thinks and feels music in me, "Olga, who has been successfully collaborating with Maxim for more than ten years, summed up emotionally.

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

"Serebro is one of the most complex human configurations that one could imagine... creating a team of three people, you knowingly doom yourself to incessant 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 team. “Each one brought something different to Serebro. And I don’t regret that I once invited this or that soloist to become part of the team. Someone was stronger, someone was weaker. But the “triangle” effect worked without failure .) 😩 Therefore, my nervous system has been crucified for these 10 years," the producer complained. "Recently, the situation has begun to change. Girls are trying to behave more carefully towards me."
