Bright news, songs about love and patriotism
Islam Malsuygenov и Zulfiya Chotchaeva Not for the first year the listeners are pleased with their solo songs, as well joint duets. Two months ago in the music catalog of the publishing house “Zvuk-M”, which already included the tracks of these artists, bright new items appeared in their performance.
Our correspondent met with performers in Cherkessk to find out what Islam and Zulfiya had prepared for their fans for the near future.
— To begin with, please tell us how your cooperation with Zvuk-M began?
Islam:
“At first it happened in absentia. About four years ago we performed at a concert, where we signed an agreement with the organizers of the event, transferring the rights to our tracks to this publishing house. The company has a good reputation and a big name, so there were no doubts.
Zulfiya:
— Now, when our repertoires began to expand, we decided to transfer other compositions to Zvuk-M, because the company has been promoting and promoting tracks on the digital market for many years.
— How do you select songs for your repertoire?
Islam:
— For me, the first criterion is, of course, the topic. I have a lot of love songs not only for my lovers, but also for my homeland, patriotic ones. I always try to diversify styles, so the track list consists of Caucasian songs, popular and ethnic compositions.
Zulfiya:
— It is important that the songs are not similar to one another. Especially for this, I often change recording studios and specialists so that each track sounds new, without the “recognizable handwriting” of the arranger.
— How long have you been involved in vocal activities?
Islam:
— I have been singing since 2013. It also happens that I write songs myself and perform them.
Zulfiya:
“I’ve been going towards this since school.” Even then she recorded her first song and began working on her own projects. Now I am both an author and a performer. Almost all of our duets with Islam were written by myself.
— What goal do you pursue primarily in your work?
Islam:
“We want our songs to sound in every heart.” This does not mean that people should go crazy about them, the main thing is that our music inspires them, warms them, gives birth to love for their native land and for each other.
There are no successful or unsuccessful tracks. All people are different and everyone on the big list will be able to find something for himself. It is necessary that, having heard one of the compositions, the audience became interested and listened to the others too.
— What are your plans for the near future?
— Each of us is working on recording our own new material. In addition, we are planning to shoot our first joint video.
“I wish these plans to come true as soon as possible and bring you new successes!” Thanks for the interview!
