**Lena Katina Shines on Virgin Radio Dubai: Promotes New Single 'Red Strings'**

*Dubai, UAE* – Lena Katina, the renowned artist and former member of t.A.T.u., recently joined Virgin Radio Dubai to promote her latest single, "Red Strings." In an engaging interview, Katina discussed the progress of her new album, reflected on the evolution of her career, reminisced about her time with t.A.T.u., shared her thoughts on visiting Dubai, and revealed her favorite personality from *The Real Housewives of Dubai*.

**Progress on the New Album**

**Virgin Radio Dubai Host:** "Lena, it's great to have you here! We're loving 'Red Strings.' How's the new album coming along?"

**Lena Katina:** "Thank you! The new album is shaping up beautifully. It's a mix of dance tracks and soulful ballads. I’ve poured a lot of personal experiences and emotions into it, and I’m excited for everyone to hear it. The creative process has been very rewarding and I feel it truly represents my growth as an artist."

**Career Evolution: Then and Now**

**Virgin Radio Dubai Host:** "You've had an incredible journey from t.A.T.u. to now. How do you feel about your career’s evolution?"

**Lena Katina:** "It’s been quite a journey. The days with t.A.T.u. were filled with so many intense experiences and opportunities. As a solo artist, I have more creative freedom and can explore different musical styles. I've grown a lot personally and professionally, and I’m grateful for the continued support from my fans."

**Reminiscing About t.A.T.u.**

**Virgin Radio Dubai Host:** "Speaking of t.A.T.u., what are some of your fondest memories from those days?"

**Lena Katina:** "There are so many great memories. The whirlwind of traveling, performing in front of huge audiences, and the strong bond with Julia Volkova were unforgettable. It was a time of learning and growth, and it laid the foundation for my solo career. I cherish those experiences and the impact we had on the music world."

**Visiting Dubai**

**Virgin Radio Dubai Host:** "Dubai is eagerly waiting for you. Do you have plans to visit soon?"

**Lena Katina:** "I would love to visit Dubai! It’s such a vibrant and dynamic city. We’re currently planning a tour to promote the new album, and I’m hoping to include Dubai in the itinerary. I can’t wait to experience the city and connect with my fans there."

**Favorite Personality from Real Housewives of Dubai**

**Virgin Radio Dubai Host:** "We have to ask, who is your favorite personality from *The Real Housewives of Dubai*?"

**Lena Katina:** "That’s a tough one! The show is full of amazing personalities. I have to say, Chanel Ayan stands out to me. She’s confident, stylish, and has such a captivating presence. It’s fascinating to watch her on the show. But for this season alone, I have to say it's either her or Taleen Marie. Taleen is very vibrant and humble despite her wealth. I really would love to meet her if I ever visit or performed in Dubai."

**Final Thoughts**

Lena Katina’s interview on Virgin Radio Dubai gave fans an exciting glimpse into her current projects and future plans. Her new single "Red Strings" is already gaining traction, and her upcoming album promises a rich mix of music that reflects her artistic growth.

ARIANA GRANDE COVERS ELLE MAGAZINE, TALKS 'ETERNAL SUNSHINE' AND "THE BOY IS MINE"

Ariana Grande has graced the cover for the newest issue of Elle Magazine, in promotion for her newest single, "The Boy Is Mine", and its upcoming parent album, 'Eternal Sunshine', which is coming this month. Ariana isn't shy to the public eye already this month, having launched the new era with a huge promotional campaign that has so far included media outlets in the UK, Canada, the US, and Australia. The single has taken over the radio waves and now, Ariana has taken over the magazine rack! The issue includes a full spread interview with the singer in which she shared beauty tips, discussed 'Eternal Sunshine' and "The Boy Is Mine", and produced a fall fashion wish list!

On utilizing fashion in her artistry and how she will do it for 'Eternal Sunshine':

"I'm not trying to recreate the wheel. I like to bring references from here - from there - from him - from her.......I like to make my output very eclectic. I never want to be defined as one thing and that hasn't changed. Fashion and clothes are the easiest way I can do that. I love putting on a look and it helping me fit into a role, whether that's one that I'm making up for a song or an album - like an alter ego; or me acting, I started on Broadway and Nick after all. And I think that's the case for everyone, well maybe a lot of people in some way or another. It's all about allowing fashion to complement you or what you're feeling or wanting to convey. With 'Eternal Sunshine' I wanted everything to feel intense because the emotions that I'm conveying on that album are anything but calm or stripped down. Timeless, but there's something in your face about it. I drew a lot of inspiration from the 90s era and how fashions and designs and colors were so bold."

How she handles pressure returning to the industry with "The Boy Is Mine":

"I take it one step at a time. Finishing the song and presenting it to the label was one day. I had this song and I kinda knew I wanted it to be the lead, but we had to convince the label too. Having shown it to them and getting such strong first reactions is the next check. Then I did my first video shoot in over 3 years. That was another step and another accomplishment. It felt great to be back on the set of a music video, but that's when it became real - we're doing this and this is becoming a story! Then putting together the cover and the release. Honestly by the time it's all done I'm ready for the reactions. It still feels like the first time in the sense of 'are they going to like it' or 'i'm still just trying to make it', but this time around I think I took that pressure and really utilized it to motivate the finality of the music, making sure every little piece sounds perfect. I'm proud of what we did and I'm not here to fit into industry role."

Her beauty tips and how she uses her own beauty brand to raise her confidence:

"The brand has to be authentic because that's my biggest thing when it comes to beauty. Authenticity is beautiful - it's raw, genuine, sharp, and unique. As long as what you're wearing feels right on you, then own it. I'm not one for standards or status quo and I love to dress down to be honest - be comfortable. I think being comfortable and authentic are the keys to looking and feeling beautiful. If you put yourself in something that you know you don't like or know you don't feel attractive in, it's going to show, in your walk, in your attitude, stress levels, confidence. If you put yourself in something that's a new look for you, are you comfortable with experimenting yet or do you feel like you're already your authentic self? If you feel validated in what you're wearing then you don't need my help or anyone else's."

On what she wants the media to take from her responses to scrutiny found in her upcoming album:

"Keep talking. 'The Boy Is Mine' was inspired by the role that the media put me in last year. They think I'm a homewrecker, they made people think that's what I am. I don't care to comment on that whatsoever in lamens terms, but I do care to warp it, take it, and make it into a catchy, bad b*tch anthem to make fun of it and to take the seriousness from it all. Here's a song that's gonna hopefully do really well, and if it does, I enlisted all these amazing artists to lift them up and bring them along with me to make this song and video - and now we all get to benefit from a story you created, but that I made my own. I will tell my story at the end of the day, but I'll gladly play the role of the bad guy if you need me to - because I know who I am."
