Lyubov Uspenskaya performed the song "The guitar sings" as part of the tribute band "Lyube"

Singer Lyubov Uspenskaya took part in the recording of the tribute album "Lube 35. It's starting again...", for which she recorded her version of the song "The Guitar Sings". As the creators of the collection told Izvestia on August 15, the Uspenskaya composition turned out to be very colorful.

The slightly exaggerated retro sound makes it seem like a lost soundtrack to the films "Office Romance" or "Train Station for Two". The experiment turned out to be a success for the singer — the song added drama and nostalgia to the golden standard of the sound of Uspenskaya's vocals.

Initially, "Guitar Sings" was included in the album "Come on" in 2002, which became more cheerful than other collections of "Lube", even though the songs for it were written with a bias towards "hard retro". As composer Igor Matvienko noted, even then he sounded like a very fashionable and more advanced than all the new developments in club culture.

"Moreover, the album is conditionally divided into two parts: urban and rural. The first begins with a video about two fellow student friends walking slowly through the city. The other half will open with the song "Mowing", celebrating the joy of rural creative work. It's even a kind of kitsch, although I think many people will perceive it as good rural folklore," said the author of the music to the Lyube songs.

As the author of the text, poet Alexander Shaganov, added, the song "The Guitar Sings" causes positive vibrations in the listener's soul, and will be relevant many years after its premiere.

"If you listen to this song, you will get such a warm, emotional state, a little sad. But this is our Russian code. It is not for nothing that they say that we have the spirit of the people, but the soul of the people. Our soul is experiencing, confessional. And that's why you need to come up with such songs. It's not like it is now — whatever the song is, it's a disease. I just want to ask: can you sing these songs to your children later? You can't. Write songs so that they survive at least two or three years after they were written," he remarked.

Singer and composer Leonid Agutin in the framework of the tribute album "Lube 35. It's starting again..." performed the song "For a long Time". In a conversation with Izvestia on July 25, he noted that he immediately agreed to participate in the recording of the collection, but it was not easy for him to choose a musical composition. The new arrangement, stylized as a retro sound of a jazz ballad, combined the musician's unique vocal style with the music of the ensemble into one whole.
