In a candid conversation, producer Yevgeny Prigozhin spoke to HABER.ru about his stance on Alla Pugacheva’s latest release. He disclosed that he had no plans to listen to either the new song or the accompanying album and clarified that he has never been a fan of the iconic performer. While he grew up hearing various tracks, his musical curiosity spans a broad spectrum beyond Pugacheva, with favorites including Michael Jackson, Sting, and even the people closest to him. He acknowledged that there are true enthusiasts who eagerly await each new drop from Pugacheva, Valeria, and Kirkorov, and he respects the energy that such anticipation brings to the industry. This recognition underscores a common reality in popular music: devoted fan bases drive conversation, media attention, and cultural momentum, even for artists who may not personally captivate every listener (citation: HABER.ru).
Prigozhin went on to note that Pugacheva has a talent for commanding attention and maintaining relevance across generations. He praised the diva as an outstanding public relations figure, while also stressing that he has never tailored his listening to fit a particular artist or trend. He described himself as a casual listener who discovers new music more often by happenstance—usually while flipping through radio stations or stumbling upon a track in a playlist rather than by deliberate exploration (citation: HABER.ru).
Just a day before, Pugacheva released her first song in five years, a track titled Dont worry about me. In the piece, she reassures a loved one not to worry, asserting that she feels calmer with her partner than ever before. The interview also touched on recent public moments in the entertainment world, including remarks by Okhlobystin about the controversial trips of participants at a controversial event, which had sparked debate about artistic expression and politics. Prigozhin’s reflections illuminate how industry insiders balance personal taste, public perception, and the ever-shifting currents of fame in a global music market (citation: HABER.ru).
