t.A.T.u’s Lena Katina Releases Dual Language Single Cry Baby

Three years after her last English release, Lena Katina is back with a dual language single ‘Cry Baby’. The song which is sang in both Russian and English is noticeably different from her earlier work with a mature and relaxed sound.

It has been three years since former t.A.T.u member Lena Katina released a song in English. She had been teasing about her new single Cry Baby for some time and unexpectedly it was not an English track but rather a dual language track. The song starts off in English with the chorus “Cry baby cry, on my mind, our paper airplane, can’t fly” before shifting into the Russian verses where Katina describes how she had lied to herself and how little she knew of her lover.

Lena Katina – “Cry Baby”
Russia’s Lena Katina believes “our autumn should be warmed with good music”, and she hopes to do so with her new single “Cry Baby”. It’s a bilingual track, with the chorus in English and the verses in Russian. The Eurovision 2003 contestant and former t.A.T.u member discusses how, much like aeroplanes, love needs to be built out of sturdy materials: “Cry baby, cry / So love is blind / A paper aeroplane can’t fly”. Sonically, the song is a slow burner and steadily flows along with a mixture of violin and percussion instrumentation.
