    the original is better

    The cgi in some scenes looks pretty weird, as avatar has elevated the way you record and do cgi underwater. The way they made the animals are so strange it seems that they have no life or emotions, as if it were all superfluous, the way the villain is not afraid, I tried to like it more it’s just another live action to get rid of sales and reversals of products, without anything very original and without any kind of Disney charm and magic that we were I’m used to seeing it, anyway the Ericks don’t have much charisma and it’s just Erick with nothing, at the end of it all it’s just another live action to be forgotten in a few months.

    Kis-kis: Biography of the band – Salve Music

    Modern bands are all propaganda and provocation. What will interest the youth? Right. Choose a catchy outfit and a creative pseudonym that is strange for many. A striking example is the Kis-kis group.

    Advertisements

    Well-bred girls don’t dye their hair all colors
    rainbows, they do not swear, and even more so they will not jump around the stage,
    singing top tracks that are practically meaningless. To a rock band
    “Kiss-kiss” does not apply.

    Stamps of decent behavior work with anyone, but still Alina Oleshova and Sofia Somuseva are an exception. Pleasant or unpleasant exception, listeners decide.

    But it’s hard to turn a blind eye to the fact that the girls’ video clips collect tens of millions of views. And this is despite the fact that the team began its creative path in 2018.

    For many, the tracks of the Kis-Kis group are a dense forest. Even the younger generation sometimes writes angry comments about how the girls decided to put it on the network.

    However, closing one’s eyes to the work of the duet will not work. Even the fact that most of the songs are absurd already makes you want to turn on the first track that comes across and listen to it.

    The history of the creation of the group Kis-kis

    The birthday of the team fell on November 2018.
    The main part of the group included Alina Olesheva and Sofya Somuseva. Performance style
    is an assortment that combines hip-hop, punk rock, mumble rock.

    In addition to charming soloists, the team included two men. Their names and any biographical data are carefully hidden from the prying eyes of fans.

    Many believe that this is another PR move that allows the team to keep the hype around them.

    Alina Olesheva was born on May 27, 1999 in
    the heart of the cultural capital of Russia – St. Petersburg. The girl has a special
    musical education. Alina graduated from the St. Petersburg Musical
    college. In the group, the girl took the role of a drummer.

    Kis-kis: Biography of the group

    Sofia Somuseva is also a native of St. Petersburg. The girl was born on April 11, 1996 years. She has a higher education behind her.

    She graduated from St. Petersburg State University. Sofia is the vocalist of the group. Both girls dreamed of creating a band. They are happy to share their hobbies with YouTube video hosting video bloggers.

    In fact, the love of music was the beginning of their strong friendship. The girls have a similar taste and look at how the tracks should sound.

    Many people are interested in the history of the band’s name. It would seem, well, what meaning can be hidden in a simple “kiss-kiss”? Sophia is a “fan” of the American group “Kis”, they originally planned to name the new group that way.

    Then Sonya thought that there was not enough creativity, so she duplicated this word again. In addition, Sofya added:

    “I was warmed and at the same time supported by the thought
    that Alina and I are the first girl rock band in Russia.
    For some reason, there was a certain confidence that we would not be left without
    attention.”

    Kis-kis: Biography of the group

    The creative path of the group Kis-kis

    The first compositions of the duet in the literal sense of the word “shot from a large-caliber weapon”, hitting the very heart of a young audience.

    The girls were not just on the verge of outrageousness and being in demand… for the youth they were simply celestials. Perfect, inaccessible and mega-talented.

    And if most of the pretty representatives of the weaker sex who use profanity lose their audience almost immediately, then this by some magic bypasses the members of the Kis-kis team.

    Girls don’t blush for their vocabulary. From them you often hear mats. This spectacle looks very harmonious. On the official page of the Vkontakte group there is this inscription: “Sofya sings like God, and Alina distributes it on boilers.”

    Provocation is the main highlight of the youth team. Everything that is forbidden and seems to be fire-fiery, arouses increased interest.

    The first singles overwhelmed the audience with one name.
    Debut tracks, which were called “Fuck” and “Farming”, liked
    young music lovers. The absolutely obscene chorus of the first track suddenly became
    the main hit of the summer and parties.

    In the repertoire of the Kis-Kis group there is also a little
    lyrics, if you can call it that. If you like the lyrics then it’s a must
    to listen to the track “Lichka”. Perhaps the clearest words of the song were: “This is
    what, one of ten bad ways to hit me up?

    Kis-kis: Biography of the group

    Alina and Sophia were inspired to work not only by the work of the American rock band. Both girls are fans of the work of the Vulgar Molly group.

    In particular, the leader of the group Kirill Bledny impresses the girls very much. The girls have already met Kirill, and they say that the rocker often sits at their drums.

    Music texts are written by both participants. Sometimes incognito men also join them. Their tracks are pure improvisation.

    “Sometimes we sit and don’t know where to start. Then we take any word, and begin to select rhymes. This is how the compositions “Kis-kiss” are born. ”

    Group albums

    activities, there are albums in the discography of the group “Kis-kis”:

    1. “Youth
      in punk style”;
    2. “Shop
      adult toys.

    There are many worthy cover versions in the repertoire of the Kis-Kis group. Not so long ago, the rock band also began touring in the cities of Russia.

    In one of the interviews, Sofya said that the song “Girlfriend” is an indispensable hit that the band plays several times at their concerts.

    This track is very popular. But alas, he
    never hit the radio or the general public. The point is that the songs have
    a subtle provocation and a hint of same-sex love.

    The creativity of the Kis-kis group has been repeatedly expressed
    harsh criticism. And all because of the presence of profanity and musical
    descriptions of how the youth of today live. One of the critics noted:

    “Girls do not promote drug use,
    alcohol or attend visits. The duet “describes” how your children live, and what
    invested in them, you parents.

    Interesting facts about the Kis-kis group
