Somewhere - Barbra Streisand + WAV + MP3

1985

Funny - such a different song - and 80s again. What would you expect from me? 

I was requested to sing this song on the ship some months ago. I learned it and decided to do it for my channel too. 

I'm in love with this song! Such an atmosphere. 

Thank you for your support!!

Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson + WAV + MP3

Hello guys! Here's Michael Jackson song Dirty Diana. Intense, and straight just like I like. 

1988!

Interesting story, when he met Princess Diana before the show she came to him and asked if he is gonna sing Dirty Diana tonight. He said that they were not gonna do the song because of respect to her. She asked if they still can do it. They couldn't because they didn't rehearse.....

Nobody's Fool - Cinderella + WAV + MP3

Hello! Here's Cinderella! 1986

Those chords remind me of my childhood and I even never listened to glam rock in my early life! I met Tom Keifer in Moscow some years ago. He played with Mike Smith and Paul Taylor from Winger and these 2 guys are my friends so we met and showed them the Red Square. Then they introduced me to Tom after the show. Nice guy - so tall! And wet.

Crazy on you

1975

I want to present this one as a gift to our good friend and my patron Phil Schmaltz, he loves Heart, he knows this song and he even was able to hear it when I was learning it when he was on the phone with my husband ahahahaha. Not a surprise anymore.. Phil helped me not only with arranging Patreon and loads of other online things but also helped us with visas, find...

Amazing - Aerosmith + WAV + MP3

1993

Love singing Aerosmith! This one was recorded when I was still coughing, maybe it even helped. And for everyone who is interested - when I bark in the end - I didn't damage my voice. With this technique it's actually not a loud sound. I don't scream. I just make this sound with low volume. That's a Steven Tyler thing :))) 


Thank you for your support!

Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad - Def Leppard + WAV + MP3

1992, actually, just found out about it. 

On my sickness.. one month ago me and my husband both got symptoms on the same day, his sickness was like a mini version of mine, also 3 days loss of smell, some cough, but he recovered pretty fast. His lasted 1,5 weeks, mine almost 3 weeks. In the end of 3 weeks I still had some cough, he didn't have anything, we did PCR test and both was ne...

Rainy Days And Mondays - Carpenters + WAV + MP3

1971

I've been sick for the last 3 weeks, I didn't do the test, so don't know if it was covid or not, it was like a regular flu, but the one thing that was unusual was the lost of smell and taste. I could still taste salty and sweet and sour, but that's it, I couldn't sense any more taste in the products which was very weird aahahah, and also I didn't feel any smells for about 3 days in a...

Girl Can't Help It - Journey + WAV + MP3

1986

I loved this song as soon as I heard it couple of weeks ago! I love those complicated harmonies, I love singing them and listening to them! 

This song reminds me of the one Journey's song that I did some time ago - Who's crying now. Also loads of harmonies, and very beautiful melody. 

I don't know if I told you before - I am normally cold when everyone is ok. No...

Caught Up In You - 38 Special + WAV + MP3

Caught Up In You - 38 Special 

1982

In Wikipedia it said "Southern rock", interesting, so is there Northern rock? And if yes - how does it sound? Is there Western rock or Eastern rock? 

I'm very curious!

And then - if there's such a thing as Southern Rock - then can you recognise it's sound? And how?

Let me know if you know! 

And I heard this s...

Estranged - Guns N' Roses + WAV + MP3

Now this one is 1991... 

First I thought that as far as November Rain was so successful Axl decided to write something similar - like this power ballad - to "repeat the success". It even has similar melody+rhythm in some parts.. But now I found out that November Rain is 1992, so he wrote it after this one. Anyway it's very popular on YouTube as well, almost 200 million views, so I th...

Love Song - Tesla + WAV + MP3

1989

Don't know if you are familiar with this one, someone suggested that I record it. And I also found this on YouTube - it's pretty popular there. Tesla is one of those late glam rockers who were just on the border between 80s and 90s. Particularly this song is 1989! I was thinking what to wear for this one. And decided to wear my home cotton dress ahahaha. I just thought why not shouti...

Quicksand Jesus - Skid Row + WAV + MP3

1991. 

Beginning of the 90s is probably that era when they stopped making music that would touch my heart. Of course I'm generalising, and of course if I spend some time by my computer I will be able to find some amazing pieces that was created later. But just in general it's that time when that glam rock and classic rock stopped filling the venues, and more dry and aggressive rock a...

Hide Your Heart - KISS + WAV + MP3

1988. Steve Hughes, my patron, requested this one long time ago and voila!! Thank you Steve!

I HAD NO IDEA that Paul Stanley and couple of other guys wrote this song for Bonnie Tyler and I just heard her singing it. I love KISS version a bit more, maybe because I heard it first how they did it. I love Paul Stanley's voice and his straight manner of singing and I love how his voice is inse...

Don't Treat Me Bad - Firehouse + WAV + MP3

1990! Same year as my previous post Scorpions. 

I did one more of Firehouse's songs one year ago if some of you remember - "Love of a lifetime"! Very beautiful 80-90s rock. This one I found on YouTube about a week ago by accident and it sounded very familiar, and then I remembered that I had this song on a tape when I was a kid and I was listening to it on my player with headphones. ...

Miles Away - Winger + WAV + MP3

Winger as you know is one of my favorite bands. I made this song as a birthday present for Paul Taylor, the author of this song and the musician of the Winger band. 

Pre story: I made couple of Winger's covers before, you can find it on my channel. It was in 2015. Then I sent it to Kip Winger himself and Paul Taylor, the author and their keyboard player and guitar player. And they li...

Fool For Your Loving + WAV + MP3

1980 (of course)

Did you know that this song was originally written for blues legend B. B. King?

I didn't! Coverdale was inspired by his relationship in his marriage as he said - so he wrote this song. I looooooooove singing Coverdale. He is such a doll. Would love to meet him and sing something together. I love his pushy, "deep purplish" vocals, I have to sleep like 10 hours before...

EXCLUSIVE - Working process

Some raw footage of my working process while filming this song Sometimes She Cries by Warrant. The sound you hear is the sound in the room while we were filming. As some of you know - I film only with my Phone, so this is the sound from my phone. 

Later when I edit the video - I put the final good quality audio recording (with all the echos and reverbs and compressor) on top which wa...

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You - Bryan Adams + WAV + MP3

90s is that time when I have less and less music that I like. But I like Bryan Adams, I like how he sings - he is an amazing singer. His vocal technique is amazing. This song and some of his other ones was very often on our school dance parties, I didn't listen to Bryan Adams - his songs were never part of my playlist, but now later I respect him and his songs are very nice and pleas...

This is another childhood "Have-to-eventually-record-it-when-I'm-able-to-sing-it" song. I'm eventually able to sing it so I had to record it. It's 90s blues I think ahahahahah.

On the style - would you call Fleetwood Mac a rock band? To me it sounds like Country-rock a bit.

I wanted to upload this song one month ago. After I uploaded it on YouTube it was blocked in all the countries because of the royalties. Basically it happens when YouTube automatically finds too many similarities. As far as It had happened before, I decided to cut off the beginning...

Never thought I would cover Rush - they are very very very specific. And Geddy Lee's singing is very special. I love it. I started listening to more and more Rush songs and found it sounds very close to my dad's band. My dad some kind of progressive folk rock. He wrote songs himself and he also was doing arrangements of russian folk songs. Very complicated yet very melodic sound. Her...
