RU (no, not tATu)

Advertising is the very essence of democracy.
- Anton Chekhov

Clever chap that Chekhov. So I am thinking I should move to Russia and produce a girl/girl pop act. I am still missing tATu and nothing will replace Romania's Cheeky Girls in my artistic firmament but RU are just fine to be getting on with. This is my exact creative vision. Lots of videos get the idea across. "Heat of the Night" is entirely representative but "Play Like That" is a tour de force. I mean, pardon my French but it is the new Flea anthem. It neatly summarizes my entire political-philosophy. So much better than communism. I am going to play it over and over until they tack an eviction notice to my door.

As if stunning good looks, sensuality, and talent weren't enough, Katia Jones and Ksenia Linkova who make up the duo known as “RU” are also endowed with an astounding team including internationally renowned producer Damon Elliott (Beyonce, Pink, Mya) and hit songs which are going to inspire to dance ‘til dawn.

Enlisting Mike Tyson and the Fedorov Brothers may demonstrate a profound marketing logic but it escapes me. I cannot even begin to process RU's "highly political" track Egomaniacs. It is quite danceable though I have the impression it is supposed to be a protest song. The corsets are a dead give-away.
