Cream Soda is a Russian band that originated in Moscow back in 2012. Musicians delight fans of electronic music with their views on electronic music.
During the history of the existence of the musical group, the guys have experimented more than once with the sound, the directions of the old and new schools. However, they fell in love with music lovers for the style of ethno-house.
Ethno-house is an extraordinary and little-known style in wide circles. Cream Soda, on the other hand, does its best to introduce music lovers to this style of presentation of musical compositions.
The history of the creation and composition of the Cream Soda group
The "fathers" of the musical group are Dima Nova and Ilya Gadaev. Dima from Yaroslavl, Ilya from Orekhovo-Zuevo.
When the guys still lived outside the musical group, they were enthusiastically engaged in creating high-quality electronic music, which was uploaded to one of the Internet sites.
When they realized that their musical tastes were the same, they decided to join forces.
The acquaintance of young people also began due to a common passion for dubstep, drum and bass.
The beginning of the creative path of the group
The guys began to write music together, which was later played in clubs and local discos. The guys did not last long.
They had seen enough of the marginalized public, and decided to "go the other way." No, of course they didn't leave the scene, they just moved away from heavy, aggressive music towards a lighter style.
Later, one of the band members stated: “Many of us did not understand. We do not divide music into: bad and evil. However, what we have been living for the past six months frankly strained us.
Wherever you go, that's what you'll run into. We are for goodness, for bright energy from listeners, for development, not degradation.”
Debut song by Cream Soda
The debut song, which the musicians themselves called “okolodubstep” with elements of disco, was liked by both them and the critics. But for that period of time, the musicians did not think about any kind of commerce.
They just enjoyed what they were doing. And after the soloists of the musical group began to professionally approach the recording of tracks, the Cream Soda group was formed. The date of birth of the musical group falls on 2012.
Initially, the musical group consisted of some guys. Later, the charming Anna Romanovskaya joined the musicians.
The guys themselves admit that with the advent of Annie, their music has acquired lyricism and melody. Yes, and fans among men have increased too.
The peak of the musical career of the Krem Soda group
Musical group Krem Soda actively begin to climb to the top of the musical Olympus.
Thanks to the capabilities of Internet sites, they receive the first portion of recognition and popularity. But it turns out that this is not enough for them.
Luck smiled on the musicians in 2013. The group's songs are included in the rotation of the Megapolis FM radio station.
Music lovers and music critics quite warmly accept the work of amateurs, which only adds confidence to the Creme Soda musical group.
The artists release their first mini-disc (EP) in 2014. Anna comments that the first mini-LP is a kind of warm-up before something new.
Musicians manage to increase the number of their fans. And all of them are waiting for a full disc.
Debut album of Krem Soda
And here comes 2016. The musicians dare to make a serious statement about their work by releasing their debut album "Fire" on the label "Electronic Records".
The record, or rather those 19 tracks that were collected on the album, scatter all over Russia, and fall into the heart of house fans.
This album has been on the top of iTunes for a long time. But besides this, the disc became the best-selling in electronic music stores.
"The house of the group Cream Soda smells a little of shoe polish. It comes from the 90s, but it is made very well and lacks the gloss of Moscow's glamorous discos: a sharp beat, deep bass, looped, sure-fire keyboard chords..." - this is how one of the promoted sites described the studio album of the musical group Cream Soda.
Famous stars who fell into the hands of the songs of a young musical group confessed their love to the tracks. In particular, such artists left positive feedback on their social pages: Jimmy Edgar, Wase & Odissey, TEED, Detroit Swindle and others.
Collaboration with Ivan Dorn
But the soloists of the group themselves express special recognition to Ivan Dorn, who appreciated their work and offered cooperation on his own label "Masterskaya".
The soloists of Cream Soda were literally inspired by the positive feedback about their work. The guys are preparing another album for the fans, and for this they leave the city to find the very inspiration.
Later, the soloists of the musical group will present their fans and just music lovers with a disc, which consists of 11 tracks. She was called "Beautiful".
Presentation of the album "Beautiful"
The soloists of the musical group officially presented the album "Beautiful" in 2018. It is important to note here that although the songs are sustained in the so-called house style, the tracks contain elements of funk, R&B, pop and hip-hop.
And the musicians also made sure that music lovers enjoy the Russian-speaking house.
Not only Krem Soda soloists worked on this disc. You can also listen to other artists on this disc.
For example, the musical composition "On the Takeoff" was "born" thanks to such musicians as Laud and Thomas Mraz. The vocals of the soloist of the musical group were revealed in the album in a completely new way: from the gently lyrical in the song "Go away, but stay" to the boldly provocative in the composition "Headshot".
By the way, the guys recorded a very high-quality video clip for the last track with an interesting, and maybe not entirely clear plot for someone.
The main character of the clip was a guy and his other half - a disco ball. The presented video clip is one of the first works of the Krem Soda group, in which they decided to revive the plot.
Simultaneously with the presentation of the album "Beautiful", the guys also release a video clip for the title track of the disc.
The video itself looks a little gloomy and even scary. It takes place in winter. Against the backdrop of white snow, a girl in red clothes is walking, accompanied by a funeral procession. Thus, the soloists of the musical group wanted to show the funeral of a past love.
Cream Soda touring
In support of the album "Beautifully", the singers went on a tour called "Beautifully Live Tour".
The main points on the route were St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl, Moscow, Kyiv, Odessa, Tallinn and other locations. In every city where the guys organized concerts, they sang live. The phonogram is not acceptable for them.
Last summer, the guys will present the single "Volga". In support of the single, they record a very original video clip, where you can see Russian nature in all its glory. In the winter of the same year, the guys will present the no less top video "Go away, but stay."
Collaboration with Alexander Gudkov
The main role in the video was played by the popular Alexander Gudkov. The video turned out to be very ugly. It reveals the theme of love, romance and the complexity of relationships.
“It happens like this ... you love a person, you love. Then you endure all his whims and "cockroaches".
At one point, something clicks in your head, and you understand that this can't go on any longer. You break up. This is what the video "Go Away, But Stay" is about, the soloists of Cream Soda commented.
