R&B group "23:45" gained popularity in 2009. Recall that it was then that the presentation of the composition “I will” took place. A year later, the guys already held two prestigious awards in their hands, namely, the Golden Gramophone and the God of the Air - 2010.
The guys managed to find their audience in a fairly short period of time. Interestingly, more than 10 years have passed since the presentation of the super-hit, but the composition “I will” remains just as popular, recognizable and painfully loved.
History of creation and composition of the group
The history of the creation of the team dates back to 2006. Talented musicians Georgy Yukhanov and Grigory Bogachev are at the origins of the creation of the team. The guys met at school. The guys caught themselves in common musical tastes, and later began to record tracks in the R&B style. At the beginning of their career, the musicians recorded songs on a cheap computer and microphone.
Naturally, Yukhanov and Bogachev wanted recognition for their work. They uploaded their debut compositions to various music platforms, and they were waiting for a miracle. One day, luck smiled at them. The team was invited to perform at the Adrenaline skate park.
The offer to perform on the site was a big surprise for the duet. The organizers of the event set a condition for the guys - at least a 40-minute performance, while the duo's repertoire consisted of only 4 tracks.
This event attracted more than three thousand spectators. Yukhanov and Bogachev, who from their youthful years were distinguished by creative and innovative thinking, presented 4 compositions to the audience. Between singing, the musicians entertained the audience with amusing contests. They managed to stretch the show for 40 minutes. The guys did an excellent job.
This performance greatly expanded the horizons of the guys. They knew it was time to take things to the next level. The musicians signed up for several recording studios. For some time, they rotated in the R&B scene, and also held concerts in underground clubs. The first tracks of the duet cannot be called "easy". They came to "airiness" a little later.
The tipping point
There were no turning points either. One day George received an order for the layout of the cover of a LP for a singer who was produced by Oleg Mironov. The musician decided that it was foolish not to take advantage of the situation. He invited the producer to listen to the debut tracks "23:45".
The manager liked the duo's work. He saw a promising group in the musicians, and offered the artists to sign a contract. Realizing that they would not be able to swim alone, Grigory and Georgy agreed to work under the guidance of a producer.
In the same period of time, the producer of the band decided to dilute the male vocals with female ones. At different times, 3 Annas sang in the group: Kirillova, Boronina and Klimov. Cooperation with the girls was short-lived. Someone took up a solo career, and someone left the team for personal reasons.
In 2012, another girl named Anna joined the line-up. The brain (new soloist) is known to the public under the creative pseudonym Ashley. In this composition, the guys work to this day.
Creative way and music 23:45
The guys counted on the fact that after the presentation of the debut single “In the World of Women” they would gain popularity. However, the miracle did not happen. The track passed by music lovers. Only in 2009, the musicians gained popularity. It was then that "23:45" with the participation of the singer Loei and the group "5ivesta family" presented the song "I will". For three months, the presented song occupied the top line of the music charts.
In addition, the musical work “I will” took 4th place in the ranking of the most downloaded singles in the Russian Federation, and as a ringbackton it was awarded the so-called platinum status. Thus, the guys were at the top of the musical Olympus.
A year later, the musicians from "23:45" decided to work again with the "5ivesta family" team. Celebrities presented the video clip "Love without deceit." On this, the cooperation of "23:45" with "5ivesta family" ended. The fact is that in the circle of fans a real confusion began. Many perceived two completely different teams as a joint group.
In the same 2010, the musicians presented several more compositions. We are talking about the tracks "Years Fly" and "Without Each Other". The band members recorded video clips for the listed tracks.
In subsequent years, the musicians continued to work actively. Often, they entered into interesting collaborations with other representatives of Russian show business. In 2001, a video clip was recorded for the track "Empty Words" (with the participation of Sound Hackers).
A year later, a new vocalist joined the team. We are talking about Ana Ashley. Simultaneously with this event, the guys presented a new concert program to fans of their work. But it turned out that this was not the last news from the group. Finally, they announced the recording of a full length LP. Recall that until 2013 they were limited to the release of singles. The silence was broken by the premiere of the record "New Time".
Unusual performance
The next year was marked by a number of musical experiments. What is the presentation of a remake of the popular composition "Gems" - "Everything that I have in life" worth. Fans of the Russian team's creativity warmly welcomed the musical novelty, which cannot be said about the experts.
In 2015, the presentation of the new single of the band took place. We are talking about the composition "Antidepressants". The presented track is interesting primarily because the leading verses went to the vocalist Anya. Until 2015, her voice was heard only on the choruses. The presented song told music lovers about unhappy love. The lyrical track was greeted with a bang by the fans.
The presentation of this track was followed by the release of the composition "Marry Me". And then the members of the team tormented the fans with silence for three whole years. They were engaged in various projects, while their repertoire was silent.
