Eternal Flame - The Bangles + WAV + MP3

1988 believe it or not. 

Different genre a bit but still the 80s. My fav looks like. 

I remember I heard this song on a radio when I was a kid and recorded it on my tape, just half of it. And listened in my player. Always wanted to add some sugar into this song. 

Thank you so much for your support!

Hope it plays in your country - YouTube told me it plays not in every country.

Wind Of Change - Scorpions + WAV + MP3

1990

This song was written about end of cold war. That was the end of USSR... 

We need to be very careful not talking about politics here in Patreon, because they can easily close the channel, like it was many times before with other creators. I just want to say that I believe in peace. And I believe that big change is coming very soon. I remember performing in Gorky Park one day, singing “Since I’ve been loving you” by Led Zeppeling, it has always been a rock place.. A...

Cryin' - Vixen + WAV + MP3

1988

Vixen is a girl's glam rock band. I don't know if it considered to be a "bubble gum rock" as well as some other similar bands of that times but I still loved singing their songs!!!

One more is coming in several weeks )))

I hope you are ok and I hope that we come to peace in the world soon.

I'll Be There For You - Bon Jovi + WAV + MP3

Again, the instrumental was too empty. So I supported it with Piano and Organ.

Bringin' On The Heartbreak - Def Leppard + WAV + MP3

1981 glam Def Leppard. So this one was a bit too dry having only 1 guitar and bass. So I had to interfere and recorded some 80s style keyboards and synthetic strings - the ones they used back then - to add some depth and fullness of the sound. 

This is my Def Leppard cover number 7! I think I can definitely go back and re-record my older covers of this band. Like Love Bites or Hysteria... I think I would make them a bit different now and also i film a bit different.

Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin + WAV + MP3

1971

If you go to my YouTube channel and scroll down to my very first video that was uploaded in 2008 - you will see me singing this song in Liverpool.

We had two shows, one inside a hall, and another was huge open air concert with international rock musicians there. And I was invited to sing several songs with these guys. I was singing Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to love, White Rabbit and this Bobby McGee.

I Want You Back - Jackson 5 + WAV + MP3

I Want You Back - Jackson 5 (Alyona cover)


1969! Was released in Motown. Love singing MJ, especially his early stuff. Because I often feel I sing like a boy ahahha. Would be fun to make this one with a band one day and sing it live )) Cool song and very disco. 

Thank you for your support!

Stargazer - Rainbow + WAV + MP3

1976

Back to the 70s. When I got to recording this one - and when I first heard the solo part - It reminded me of Kashmir of Led Zeppelin so much. And then I checked who was inspired by who! Looks like Rainbow was inspired by LZ, because Kashmir was released just one year before that - in 1975. To me many points are similar - desert theme, east, those strings passages going up, and that heavy rhythm... And the overall mood of the song. 

Did you also notice that?

Hero - Mariah Carey + WAV + MP3

1993

The song of my teenage years... I never was too much into this particular song, but I feel like  it's one of those that "have to be recorded" by a vocalist. Even though I don't consider myself a vocalist... And this song is harder to sing then Without You for example, or Vision of Love. Maybe because I never trained it long ago. 

I hope you are all doing all right. Today is Russian Christmas. So Merry Christmas once again. Thank you for your support! And thanks to e...

High Enough - Damn Yankees (Alyona cover)

1990!

Again, I found only one good quality instrumental and it has some male back vocals which is super loud and at times a bit out of tune. I was trying to dull them a bit with equalisation but it wasn't too successful. Hope after you read this your attention won't be on this ahahahaha. 

I wanted to THANK you ALL very much for being with me this year. It was one of the best years and one of the toughest in my life. You supported me so much and my music held me up despite of ...

Tomorrow!

Hello guys!

No video today, because I’m still working on it but tomorrow It will be ready!

One strange thing happened - Facebook deleted my fan page that had 117.000 subscribers and many millions views on my videos. No explanation or warning. I think I saw something like “someone reported”, but I didn’t understand who and why. They just deleted it permanently. I didn’t violate anything! 😢

I wrote to FB support several times but no answer unfortunately.. that...

No Ordinary Love - Sade + WAV + MP3

1992

I thought it would be 80s again. So the story is this, I never was into Sade. And I'm still not into her most songs, but I love this one, especially how she did it live recently. I saw it on YouTube and I loved that version. So I made the ending the way she did it live. 

Thank you for your support!

What About Love - Heart + WAV + MP3

1985!

Of course - singing Heart is one of my favourite things. I'm just a bit scared that their songs that i record will finish ahahahah ))

I "beautified" this instrumental a bit with additional 80s sounding piano. I was a bit pissed off about how loud they did their back vocals in this instrumental - it was impossible to remove them, so I had to deal with that... But overall the instrumental is good. 

Hope you all are safe! 

Thank you for your support!

I'll Be Alright Without You - Journey + WAV + MP3

1986

Still doing unpopuar songs. I'm curious if there are any of you who knew this song before? I didn't. YouTube recommends me different rare songs of the bands that I listen to - so sometimes I encounter those jams.

Woo - Hoo!!! 70s!!!! Finally. 

I thought it was also 80s... 

1977

Nice song. I'm not a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac, my fav song is Chains. However if we talk about singing - i love singing Fleetwood Mac songs )) And they go very good for small deck performances when people chill.

The Search Is Over - Survivor + WAV + MP3

1984

We were driving in Virginia one year ago when I first heard this song on the radio. Yes sometimes those hits hit my ear very late. So I decided I need to do it. Original is too low for me so I had to lift the instrumental several keys higher. So after I did - all the instruments started sounding too thin and no bass anymore. So I recorded some piano, strings, bass, snare drum and bass drum on top. Tried to mix it in so it would not so...

Answering your questions - PART 2

Ask me more underneath this video. I will answer them soon ))

Thank you very much for your support - that's a huge help for me.

Also I have some questions for you: 

1. Do you think cover with just piano and voice (like some Beatles or famous songs like that) would also work for my channel from time to time?

2. Maybe go a bit more metal? How about Iron Maiden? 

Thank you!

See ya Friday!

Glory Of Love - Peter Cetera + WAV + MP3

1986 Glory Of Love

I think my voice is very similar to Peter's, very straight and crisp like his. So I always enjoy singing some Chicago or Cetera's stuff. 

This song was in the Karate Kid Part 2 movie. I didn't watch it myself and just found out about it. Have you watched it? 


Hope all is well!

I loved this one - I heard it for the first time couple of weeks ago, decided to dive into Scorpions a bit more. 

How are you guys doing? 

We are fighting here... It has been tough... Thank you for your prayers and nice words - they help a lot! 

Each one of you means a lot to me.

I Am Changing - Dreamgirls + WAV + MP3

80s again, even though - so different to what I normally do. 

And yes - to me songs like that is very natural to sing, for some reason, even though I rarely sing "musicle" kid of music, because it's not all the songs I like. This one though was sang by my favorite singer Whitney Houston once - there's a great rare live video of her singing it when she was very young. And funny - looks like at that time she didn't quite find her own sound yet so she was kind of trying to ...

Queensrÿche - great band. Really want to make the Silent Lucidity, but need to have a band to record it - otherwise it's too low for me...
