After three unsuccessful romances, the singer decided to remain silent about her personal life. The birth of her second daughter did not change her mind. How does Svetlana Loboda, who turns 39 today, live?
Svetlana Loboda has repeatedly regretted that at the beginning of her career she relied on sexuality. What once seemed the simplest and most obvious, ended up causing her a lot of problems.
Not made for the collective
Sveta Loboda from Kiev has been singing since childhood. Grandmother - a failed opera singer - in every possible way encouraged her granddaughter's passion, insisting that she graduate from a music school. At the age of 17, Sveta finally established herself in the idea that she wanted to become an artist.
From the very first year of study at the Variety and Circus Academy, Loboda began to work. The Cappuccino group, where she was taken as a soloist, toured nightclubs in Kyiv, Ukrainian villages and villages. The conditions are not the best, but Sveta appreciated the experience and for the time being did not complain. Thanks to "Cappuccino" she met her first serious love - presenter Gennady Popenko.
For a while, she even forgot about her dream of singing on stage: she wanted to marry her chosen one, have a baby. But Gennady did not rush things. After four years of marriage, they still had not been painted. And soon professional experiences were added to personal experiences: the very modest popularity of Cappuccino began to tend to zero.
Bound by a contract with a group that everyone forgot about, Loboda decided to take a bold step: she learned the repertoire of the little-known Austrian singer Alicia Gorn and began to portray her in nightclubs. When the producer of "Cappuccino" found out about this, Sveta was asked to leave - and she only achieved this. There was a lot of work, she rarely appeared at home. Gennady didn't like it. Hearing his conditions - either he or the scene - Sveta did not think for a moment, although the decision was hard for her. Long after their separation, she broke down and came to a familiar apartment. The next morning she left in tears - only to return again two days later.
This went on for several months, until Loboda found out about the casting of Konstantin Meladze.
VIA Gra
The singer was sure: the producer is looking for a soloist for his new project. When she was left alone out of a hundred applicants and Meladze announced: “Congratulations, you have been accepted into Viagra,” Loboda was shocked. She wanted to finally start a solo career, she even found a producer who was ready to take on her. Konstantin asked what his name was. “Alexander Gray,” Sveta replied. Then Meladze uttered a phrase, after which she temporarily abandoned her solo ambitions: “Svetlana, gray is not your color.”
Loboda recalls with pleasure about cooperation with Konstantin and the soloists of that composition of Viagra: Meladze was a true professional, and Vera Brezhneva and Nadezhda Granovskaya warmly received the 19-year-old newcomer. Problems arose only with Dmitry Kostyuk - another producer who accompanied the group on tour.
Despite the tight schedule, he forbade the soloists to somehow relax after the concerts: he didn’t let them go for a walk, forced them to sit in hotel rooms. Unable to withstand such an attitude, Loboda complained to Meladze. He let her go despite a five-year contract. She never betrayed her dream anymore: solo means solo.
Struggle for the name
While working at Viagra, Svetlana met businessman Alexander. Their personal relationship eventually developed into a working one: he agreed to finance the recording of her first songs and the shooting of the video. It turned out that it was a good investment: the song "Black and White Winter" quickly got into the rotation of radio stations, Loboda began to give many concerts and bring a good income to the businessman.
Then Alexander decided to pay her salary. Absorbed in recording new songs, she did not pay attention for a long time to the fact that there were more and more performances, and her income did not change. Their romance had come to naught by that time, but the businessman continued to treat Sveta as an owner: if it seemed to him that the customer wanted something from the singer, besides performing, he refused even the most profitable offers. In this state, Loboda approached the performance at Eurovision in Moscow. Tired of the showdown with Alexander, she happily responded to the advances of the leader of her corps de ballet, Andrei Tsar. The businessman, having learned about their romance, was completely furious and even tried to challenge the singer's rights to her songs and her own surname in court.
Victory went to Svetlana Loboda. In 2010, she officially renamed her musical project and registered the brand and trademark "LOBODA"
Finding love
Relations with Andrey were happy at first. In 2011, the couple had a daughter, Evangelina - the singer dedicated the song and video "Thank you" to this event. The child divided her life into “before” and “after”: Svetlana understood that she now bears personal responsibility for the little person. And worked like a damn, giving 300 concerts a year.
What could not be said about Andrey. Having once declared that for her sake he sacrificed his career as a dancer, he became interested in the ideas of yoga, raw food and spiritual enlightenment, urging his beloved to stop worrying about trifles. But having worked three concerts in an evening, she did not listen well to her beloved - and in the end they broke up. “I can say this: I have not yet met the ideal man for myself. But, like any normal woman, of course, she would very much like it. The main problem is that I'm not looking for it.
I don’t meet strangers, I don’t go out after concerts to rendezvous with customers … I’m quite a conservative person and I rely on fate,”Loboda admitted in an interview. Fate overtook her. After the ZHARA music festival in Azerbaijan, the press was full of headlines about the novel by Svetlana Loboda and the 55-year-old soloist of the German band Rammstein Till Lindemann. In the photos, the couple talked nicely, but neither he nor she commented on the rumors about their rapprochement.
In the spring of 2018, fans noticed the rounded tummy of the singer. At one of the concerts, Loboda confirmed that she was expecting a second child, but she did not say a word about her father. And only when she left for the USA to prepare for childbirth, she allowed herself a little hint: the paparazzi photographed Loboda in a T-shirt with the image of Till Lindemann.
24 May 2018 Svetlana gave birth to her second daughter. She is happy to share her maternity days, creative plans and even pictures of a newborn with fans. He is silent about only one thing - who is the father of the child? And we can only guess if the singer has found her true love.
