Recently you presented the track “Pochutya”, where you told a story about the feelings of a girl who is getting married and the emotions of parents who are giving their daughter in marriage. What are the first associations you have when you think of a wedding?

Each new musical work is a reflection of a particular mood and emotion. The song “Pochutya” was written in collaboration with my husband Alexei. We put our hearts and memories of that special day into it. After all, it was the happiest not only for me as a bride, but also for my man, to whom I said: “Yes,” but also for my parents. There are many sensual phrases in this composition that will resonate with absolutely everyone who hears it. So many girls have written to me about how their loved one proposed to them. And some even made cool engagement ring videos. This is very cool! I am insanely happy that this song brought listeners back to that romantic moment and gave someone the determination to make the long-awaited proposal.

How do you think, how not to lose feelings after years of life together?

All feelings live in our heart. And only your personal desire to love and be loved will fuel these emotions and make them even stronger and brighter over the years.

What kind of wife are you? Name five associations.

It’s going to be hard to do it in five, because I’m a very versatile girl. Like any real girl, I can be different. She can be a passionate Pantera Negra (Catwoman), a tender and loving wife, a creative and bright artist, or a breakaway girl. And therein lies our feminine zest, which men like so much.

You have a new album launch coming up. What songs will be included? Should we expect more Spanish-language premieres?

Yes, you’ll be able to hear my new album very soon. And it was important to me to release it this spring. After all, I associate this time of year with a girl. So different, changeable and interesting. Such a girl delights others and mesmerizes with her beauty. That’s exactly what the album will be. It will include the familiar “Vibe” song, “Pochutya” and the new song, which I’m going to present on March 5, and the music video will be released on March 18. It will be a real manifesto for all breakaway girls-independent, happy, yet loving and loved. I’m sure the album will be insanely sensual and vivid. Just like a real girl – different and unpredictable with her own stories and spice. There won’t be any Spanish-speaking tracks, but I’ll bring you some hot new stuff soon, so stay tuned.

Do you have your most favorite song? Which one is it and why?

As I said before, I like to be different. This applies to my art as well. I have many facets that show up in my art. That’s why all the songs are special to me. In one I’m romantic, talking about feelings, and in the other I reveal myself in a completely different way. And it pleases me that each such facet of mine resonates in the hearts of listeners. Some people like bolder motifs, some like funny and groovy, and some like more lyrical motifs. And I can give a cool musical product for everyone. It’s hard for me to single out one, because each one has an important message and meaning that reveals my soul to the listener.

You are active in TikTok. Were there thoughts of creating your own musical house for the development of this direction?

As soon as this platform came to Ukraine, I liked it. There’s a lot of interesting and fun stuff out there. You can show off your dancing skills, humorous ones. Create cool content and be new. You can show all your facets.

I even managed to hold my first online concert in TikTok in Mexico, drawing over 35,000 spectators. As for musical house, I haven’t thought about it yet. But things can change at any minute, so I’m not going to make any predictions. I can tell you that all the most important events can be found on my pages, where I share news from life and work.

How do you feel about the opinion that TikTok is primitive social eating?

I don’t think so. It’s a fun and very groovy playground. I am glad that people from all over the world, including Latin America and India, like my art. My song “Elefante” interested the users so much that they made up a dance to it, which I later learned. This is how the #elefantechallenge was launched, which has garnered more than 2.5 million videos and more than 24 million views.

Do you have nervous breakdowns because of your work schedule? How do you deal with them? Do you work with a psychologist?

I grew up in a creative family. My parents worked in the Rope Choir, toured the world and taught me music. That’s why such a busy schedule is the usual mode for me. And if you’re doing something you like, it can’t annoy you. I can get tired physically, but not emotionally, because music for me is a way of life. I love creating new tracks and giving cool music to my fans, who really inspire me and motivate me to do cool projects.

Spring is a great excuse to step up your athletic regimen. How do you manage to stay energized all year round? Do you allow yourself cheat meals?

Sports and proper nutrition are an integral part of my life. Many people know how disciplined I am in this matter. I even did some sports intensives where I did daily online sports together with Ukrainian women. We instilled new healthy habits, thereby doing good. One of these intensives was for charity. So we not only supported each other and motivated each other to new results, but also helped the foundation “Tabletochki” to raise the amount of 250,000 hryvnia to help children with cancer. And now we’ve organized a charity sale where I put my stuff on display. And we raised another 70,000. So I am glad that I motivate my fans not only for sports and healthy lifestyles, but also for good deeds.

As for cheat meals, I’ve gotten into a mode where sometimes I can afford to eat something tasty. If you approach small cheat meals rarely and wisely, they won’t ruin your figure. And you can always work off everything you eat at the gym. The main thing is to keep it all under control according to a schedule and within the limits of the foods that are right for you.

Do you have any bad habits that you struggle with?

Perhaps, like any other person, sometimes the familiar laziness awakens in me. But I work with it and eradicate it quickly. It helps me to have a clear plan, a schedule, a lot of tasks that keep me active. Yes, sometimes you have to take a break and take a little pause. Like, just recently, I allowed myself a little day off after shooting a new music video, which lasted more than 20 hours. But after that, I was immediately back on my usual schedule.

Five important rules of home care that everyone needs to know about?

Sports, going to bed before 10 p.m. and getting up early, proper nutrition, quality body and facial skin care, and once a week, time for yourself to go for a massage or a relaxing bath.

What perfume best describes your character?

I have a lot of favorite fragrances. Each of them may reflect my inner state differently. I like sweeter notes, but I can wear a different perfume every day to suit my mood. If, for example, today I want to be a nice girl, it will be a nice cheerful note. If I’m in a more serious mood, it will be something bold and spectacular.

Do we need to be able to thank ourselves? What ways of self-motivation do you use?

The best motivation is a clear goal. If it’s really important to you, it’s the best way to start acting and motivating yourself. Of course, it is not insignificant to notice intermediate achievements. It makes it easier for you to know that you’re moving in the right direction and that you’re on the right track. I think you have to be able to thank the universe for opportunities. And you can encourage yourself for results.

By the way, I learned quite recently to praise myself even for some small achievements. Since I am a very goal-oriented person, I always want to achieve everything quickly and immediately. I can do it, but I never looked at this path with intermediate results, but saw the final point right away. And now I have learned to see even the smallest achievements and thank myself for it. It helps to accept the fact that every small step on the way to your goal is very important and meaningful.

Let’s put together the puzzle of your ideal country: favorite cuisine, style of music, climate, character of the region and its inhabitants, traditions.

If you put together the puzzle of my preferences in food, music and other components, it would be a mixture of Ukraine, Mexico, Italy and America. These countries have good people, delicious food with its own characteristics, interesting colorful traditions and have their own charms in the climate.
