The lead singer of the band "Bond with a button" told about the fatigue of the song "Kitchen"

Ilya Zolotukhin, the lead singer of the band "Bond with a Button", in an interview Lenta.ru On July 2, he admitted that he was tired of constantly performing the song "Kitchens", which became the main hit of the band. At the same time, he expressed the hope that due to her success, listeners would pay attention to other compositions.

"Citizens and fellow citizens like her. And let them like it. It is wonderful. Very good. <...> I just don't want to play it so many times," said the soloist, stressing that he would still play it at every performance, realizing that it was loved by his audience.

Zolotukhin also shared his memories of his side jobs. According to the artist, in the past he actively sought additional income, including working in his father's companies. During his studies at the university, the musician worked for two weeks at the GBU "Ritual", and later was a tutor.

In addition, Zolotukhin explained the appearance of his collection of short stories "Damage from Beauty", which was hated on the Internet.

"I was 23 years old. I was frankly carried away. I can be carried for a very long time and not slow down. I can be in a state of fun and creative frenzy for a very long time," he said.

The performer vowed to continue writing books, admitting that he was not very good at it, and considered the writing experience far from ideal. He noted that he no longer remembers why he decided to write the book. According to him, his mother reacted to this with humor and positively assessed his passion for creativity.

Zolotukhin also said that he had not learned to take criticism calmly.

"It will always hurt. I look at some critical reviews of myself with great interest and with great pain. It hurts a lot because it hurts the ego. You think you're trying, you're doing something, and they tell you you're doing shit. This criticism is never painless," he concluded.
