The interview begins by asking about a new song and its core message. The artist explains that the track embodies a dance floor moment where one person can overwhelm another, disappear into a crowd, and feel a powerful, singular connection. It describes a fleeting inspiration that defies precise words, a moment when two people meet and choose each other over everyone else. The artist notes that inspiration is elusive, not easily captured in language, and recalls a moment of intense eye contact with Katya that started with conversation and quickly drifted away from the rest of the room.
When asked about concert frequency and upcoming appearances, the artist responds that four performances occurred in the current week and mentions heading to a fifth. Schedules are difficult to predict, as live shows resemble mushrooms sprouting after rain—unpredictable and plentiful at times. The emphasis remains on staying aligned with the tour plan while recognizing the unpredictable nature of live performance schedules.
Regarding memorable tours in Russian cities, the response highlights a love for travel shared with Katya. Each city offers a unique story and hospitality, making every stop feel meaningful. The artist expresses fondness for every destination and appreciates the people hosting them, who contribute to the richness of the experiences encountered on tour.
On the shift away from releasing albums toward individual tracks, the explanation points to a broader industry trend. EPs and shorter formats have gained momentum as artists experiment and adapt to rapid changes in music consumption. The possibility of future mini-albums containing multiple title tracks and experimental pieces is acknowledged as a potential direction for the artist’s evolving catalog.
Fans inquire about the fate of a Caucasian wedding song that was promised after a dispute with Soso Pavliashvili. The artist shares that the song is nearly ready, with the creative hands set to begin recording shortly. A week’s delay was noted, with expectations that the track would be released in the summer. The discussion surrounding the idea sparked genuine interest, and the artist appreciates the inspiration provided by Soso while acknowledging that the final reception rests with the audience.
When the topic shifts to the differences between the current self and Dominic Joker from Star Factory 4, the artist notes increased age, greater restraint, and a calmer demeanor, balanced by continued adventurism. The memory of the early Star Factory era remains bright and cherished, with gratitude for the life that followed the project. The sentiment is positive, underscoring a sense of fulfillment rather than regret about the project’s evolution and its eventual pause.
The interviewer asks why the Star Factory era appears to have slowed down, with questions about the proliferation of stars. The artist explains that every project and artist has a lifespan, and pauses can be strategic. Western artists have long used deliberate rests to maintain momentum, and this approach is viewed as a normal part of sustained success rather than a sign of fatigue. The idea of reviving the project is discussed, with an emphasis on careful execution in today’s musical and public relations landscape. Changes would be necessary for a successful relaunch.
A question about energy and appearance notes the constant vitality observed in recent videos and comments on social media. The artist reflects on the energy needed to keep pace in a busy city like Moscow, stating that stepping away to quieter spaces is refreshing but eventually leads to a renewed urge to create and move forward.
March 8 is revisited, with details about how the celebrations unfolded. The couple marked the occasion on March 9 due to an away concert in the Emirates, and gifts were discreetly chosen from a large Moscow mall before the flight. The gesture was thoughtful, with an emphasis on finding items that held personal significance and resonance for Katya.
Questions about IVF plans for Ekaterina are treated with discretion, noting a preference not to discuss matters publicly for now, with the possibility of sharing updates in the future. The discussion then turns to Martin Breslavsky, the son who has pursued figure skating. At 17, Martin is preparing for the Russian championships, a significant milestone in his athletic career. The family expresses pride and encouragement, motivating Martin to aim high and dream of world-level success while acknowledging the challenges that come with competitive sports.
Concerns about professional sports for a child are addressed with honesty. Martin faced serious moments and injuries, but the family supported his choices without pressure. A pivotal coaching decision led him to opt for surgery to pursue his skating ambitions. Today, as an adult, he has demonstrated resilience and commitment, navigating the road from a young skater to a focused athlete with determination.
The closing note invites support for domestic athletes, with an emphasis on following and backing local talent as the conversation turns to broader sports interests and national pride. The overall tone emphasizes family, artistic evolution, and a steady dedication to personal and professional growth.
