Young groups appear suddenly, like mushrooms after rain. But, unfortunately, they are also rapidly disappearing from the horizon. In part, we can say that such a fate befell the "Ascent". The group is promising, but with a very narrow focus. In the center of creativity - the experiences of young girls, the smiles of beautiful boys. How much can this sphere be developed? Maybe the group will be able to survive the second wave of popularity?
And the Ascent began ...
The group appeared completely by accident, but it was a hit in the vein. The soloist grew up in the southern town of Yeysk, which is located on the coast of the Sea of Azov. He was in the capital by accident when he appeared at the wedding of his elder sister in 2001. Ironically, a joint toast brought him together with composer Sergei Sorokin. Then there were karaoke songs that Alexey Morev sang with enthusiasm. The Uplift group at that time was almost recruited, and Alexey approached the role of vocalist. Prior to this, the young man worked as a driver of the Gazelle and sang only in the evening with a guitar. Songs of the new group liked Morev. Themes revolved around sports, girls and cars.
Structure
Dmitry Rzhevsky from the city of Krasnoyarsk is also responsible for the keys and vocals. From childhood, he was fond of guitar, composed songs and attracted the negative attention of neighbors. Dima met the producer at a nightclub, and his career began.
Dmitry Gol, a Muscovite with a love of computers and cars, is responsible for the bass. He did live next to Sorokin, so the acquaintance took place quickly. He got into the group as a sound engineer, grew into a musician and arranger.
Voronezh girl Katya is responsible for dancing and backing vocals.
And finally, Karina M. - that compassionate girl with pigtails from the clip "Ships". In truth, it was she who glorified The Ascension. The group took the girl from her native Rostov, where she very successfully mastered the piano, “hung up” on the Internet and nursed homeless animals.
When a hit is born
Popularity only after the song "Ships" received "Ascent". The group quickly got into chats and charts, as well as radio stations in 809 cities. This is a real record. Spectators warmly welcomed the work and dance steps. A tour of the country soon matured. The topic is relevant, although successfully operated at that time by the "Paint" group. The little girl escorts her older brother to the army and talks in advance about how much she will miss. In a fit of longing, she sings a favorite song from childhood about boats and asks him to return soon. The image of the girl with pigtails and golf has become deeply controversial since the time of the film adaptation of Lolita by Nabokov, which suggests the strange relationship of brother and sister. Is it weird? Of course, but that is more interesting for discussion.
The brother, performed by Morev, does not cause thoughts of high intellectual development and a standard of behavior. Colleagues in the group look ridiculous and generally seem redundant. So the hit has no recipe for success at all. Rather, it is a living confirmation that folk love is not born for some reason, but appears suddenly. A plain text, a simple motive, and the memory at the same time remained for years.
Soloist about creativity
I really liked working with Karina Morev, and he is grateful to the girl for the attention and care shown. They went on tour together, but so far they do not plan to connect their career paths. The Uplift group, whose composition has not changed, performs separately and writes new songs. The producer does not exclude further collaboration with Karina. The soloist explains the success of the songs with the vitality of the lyrics and the simplicity of the motives. You can not move away from the people, you need to attract him to yourself. Fantastic stories do not checkout. For Alexei Morev, the army theme was close and understandable. The guy himself adheres to the position that it is necessary to serve, and that it is right.
Change
The soloist of the group "Rise" with optimism speaks about his prospects in creativity. He is pleased when people recognize him and ask for a joint photo. He himself considers himself the same guy with simple tastes and love of sleep. I haven’t made any friends among young groups yet, so in a party I’m not quite comfortable. There is not even enough time for personal life, and I do not want to expose my beloved to constant partings. Fans of the group are adequate, communicate kindly and do not become impudent. As the musicians note, there are pluses in popularity - a free table in the restaurant is quickly located.
Acquaintance with the "younger sister"
Karina appeared in tandem by chance - thanks to the dog Saxophone, whom Morev walked early in the morning. The dog broke loose and fled, traveled around the city for a long time, after which he appeared at Karina’s parental home. The girl while eating an ice cream at the store and noticed a hefty dog. Of course, she treated him to ice cream and grabbed the collar. The calmed down dog made contact, and Karina took him to the address indicated on the collar. The story is primitive, but, as it turned out, life. Now the group is exploiting it with might and main.
Later, a teddy bear appeared in the videos, which Karina constantly loses and finds Alexey. So it turns out a utopianly pleasant picture of the brother-sister relationship, which many families throughout the country aspire to. Groups appear new, but the texts of "Ascent" do not change. Maybe it's fidelity to the image or it's all much easier - the guys do not want to grow up.
Girl's biography
What is Karina M. from the Ascension group doing now? The photo of the little and cute girl has long been outdated, and the singer herself went to study in Switzerland, where she learns manners, the art of home economics and etiquette. The school has a large surrounding area. Here is a park, and gazebos, and courts. Karina is studying with the children of oil workers, diplomats and show business leaders. She missed her usual life, recalls concerts, rehearsals and filming with nostalgia. The girl has a meal by the clock, learns to dress in the classical style, rarely meets with boys. Violation of each rule is punishable by sanctions. All lessons are taught in English, and the menu here is specific. Karina misses borsch and soup.
In the dry residue
The Rise group has almost disappeared from memory. The discography of the band ended just after a joint album with Karina, which was released in 2006 and was called "Girl". Before that, there was the “Little Mouse” in 2003 and the “Ascent” in 2002. Now there are rumors that the team is determined to come together again and continue to work. Not enough zest, that is, an unusual soloist. With Karina, further work cannot continue, so, firstly, the girl so beloved by the audience has her own interesting life. Secondly, the team is looking for a sexual soloist with whom it will be possible to sing several other songs. The plans, of course, are grandiose, but it is still far from implementation. The group will grow older, the lyrics deeper, and the soloists wiser.
When can you wait for new tracks? Perhaps the result will appear very soon, but is it worth continuing this work? The best times of the collective are in the past, and that time cannot be returned. And the themes have really outlived themselves.
Many people are revising that old clip with irony. The scenery seems ridiculous, and the characters seem far-fetched. Why talk with excessive bravado about the need for military service? Why is the sister and not the girl left behind? There are a lot of questions, and therefore you can even call the clip viral. So much he has caused discussion and criticism!
