The pop group Plazma is a group that performs English-language songs for the Russian public. The group became the winner of almost all music awards and occupied the top of all charts.
Odnoklassniki from Volgograd
Plazma appeared on the pop sky in the late 1990s. The fundamental basis of the team was the Slow Motion group, which was created in Volgograd by several school friends, and Andrei Tresuchev led them. After some time, the group was finally completed in such a composition as: Roman Chernitsyn, Nikolai Romanov and Maxim Postelny.
In their native Volgograd, the team was very popular, but the guys wanted to be on the big stage. Falling in Love is the name given to the first album.
The first steps of the group to the heights of fame were marked by a scandal
And two years later, only two musicians remained in the group - M. Postelny and R. Chernitsyn, but the producer Dmitry Malikov A. Abolikhin drew attention to the guys.
A little later they were produced by Malikov, and in 2004 there was a conflict situation. The group decided to change its name to a more capacious and sonorous Plazma, as well as terminate the contract agreement with Malikov.
The guys could be understood - Dmitry was mainly engaged in receiving part of their fees, and the group did not see any significant help from him. The former producer wanted to impose a ban on the use of the Plazma brand and the performance of hits, but their authors were Bed and Chernitsyn.
The scandal turned into legal proceedings, but in the end, the opponents entered into a settlement agreement. Malikov “knocked out” the right to organize several performances by the Plazma group in order to return the money invested in the promotion of the group.
The main hits and video clips of the Plasma group
In 2003, Nikolai Trofimov (guitarist) from Volgograd and Alexander Luchkov (violinist and guitarist) joined Chernitsyn and Postelny. For some time, a dancer Natalya Grigorieva appeared in the group. But then it was decided to bring Plazma's style closer to ascetic, without the use of conspicuous effects.
The highest-rated hit of the Plazma group at the beginning of its development on the ladder of fame was Take My Love, which gave the name to both the debut album and the video clip, shot, by the way, by Philip Jankowski, the son of the famous actor. Later, Yankovsky shot another video of the group for the song The Sweetest Surrender.
The Plazma group is often asked to perform compositions in Russian, but the musicians always say a firm "no". The guys are fans of the European and American musical style, they are not going to change this.
Maxim Postelny believed that there was nothing wrong with the fact that the majority of viewers did not understand the lyrics of the song. But this gave them the opportunity to perceive the melody and the quality of performance more vividly, to more fully appreciate the voices of the vocalists.
The compositions of the Plazma group are very diverse, they do not adhere to any particular direction. There are in their repertoire songs such as "disco", club, as well as rock compositions. As Maxim Postelny says, it all depends on the mood.
The hits Take My Love and "607" had a circulation of more than 1 million copies.
In 2006, the third studio album Plazma was released. The composition One Life was awarded the fact that a beautiful video story was shot on it by director Kevin Jackson.
The personal life of the members of the Plazma group
In 2004, Roman Chernitsyn married a "manufacturer" Irina Dubtsova. Despite gossip that the wedding was just a publicity stunt, a son, Artem, was born in the family of Roman and Irina.
In 2008, the group for the first time broke their taboo on Russian-language songs, and this was done for the star of Dom-2 Alena Vodonaeva. The joint song "Paper Sky" was intended for the New Year's broadcast of the TNT channel. There were rumors that Alena behaved inappropriately on the set, which infuriated Dubtsova.
The family life of Dubtsova and Chernitsyn was not easy, the fans were constantly “disturbed” by rumors about the novels of Irina, who, having become the author of hits for “star” pop singers, began to earn much more than her husband, which hurt his pride. Roman began dating Diana Eunice. Now Roman is alone again, but communicates with his ex-wife and son.
As for Maxim Bed, he does not talk about his personal life. It is only known that Maxim gives preference to smart girls. At one time there were rumors about his relationship with Alena Vodonaeva, but they never received official confirmation.
Moreover, Maxim says that there can no longer be any connection between him and Alena, this is excluded, although they are friends to this day. Bedel is not going to marry anyone yet. He has a daughter from his first marriage.
Plazma group today
Plazma celebrated its 10th anniversary with the video clip The Power Within (Mystery). And in 2016, the group unexpectedly created a video for Tame Your Ghosts with bloody scenes of violence, which shocked the audience.
Today, the team has pages on social networks and sometimes publishes new photos. Information about the new studio album Indian Summer with 15 English compositions also appeared there.
During the World Cup, the Plazma group gave a number of concerts in their native Volgograd. Their fans hope that the guys will release many more such wonderful songs as their hits at the very beginning of their work.
