About Com’ma
TEMA was created by Maugly Jr., a former rapper turned musical producer, in May 2004. The two members were Sasha Anohina and Nastia Kotova. Their debut album, released on July 27, 2005, on "Nikitin Records" was titled "Просто Я Фанатка" (Prosto Ya Fanatka), meaning "I’m Just A Fan." Two official music videos were released for the album, for the song titled "Это Тема!" (Eto Tema!, or What An Idea!), and "Lyubov Vnutrivenno" (Love Introvenously) which shows Sasha and Nastia being rejected by their idols.

In the video for "Это Тема!", Ivan Shapovalov (t.A.T.u.’s former producer) acts with Sasha, and the two appear to be having sex. A third video was made, but never commercially released, due to the fact that Sasha Anohina, and Nastia Kotova were kicked out of TEMA.Their first song "Kto Esli Ne Ya?" caused many t.A.T.u. fans to think it was them, due to the fact that TEMA’s vocals sounded almost identicle to t.A.T.u.’s. This rumor was later confirmed by t.A.T.u.’s management that the song was not by t.A.T.u. TEMA’s management quickly capatalized by this PR move, which landed the TEMA girls (Anohina and Kotova) on MUZ-TV, talking about their song.

In all truth, TEMA quite often gets a lot of criticism for being "too much" like t.A.T.u., due to the fact that both groups were an all girl duet, both sang about powerful themes, and both released cutting edge pop music throughout Russia. Nastia and Sasha During the year of 2005, tension grew between the ТЕМА girls, their producer (Maugly Jr.) and the company. On an unknown date, Sasha and Nastia decided to leave the studio, and went along with their PR manager, Natalia Kulesh.

They attempted to negotiate contracts behind Maugly Jr.’s back, which forced him to take action. He denied them allowance to the name "ТЕМА", and restricted them from singing any of the songs that were produced under his name. This was a devastating blow, due mainly to the fact that almost all of TEMA’s music was created by Maugly Jr. After this, the former TEMA girls (Anohina and Kotova) struggled to regain their fame. They changed their name too many times to count... OXI, DNK, TE MA, TE MY, and more were created, but never trademarked, or even used for that matter.

The ex TEMA girls (still under Natalia Kulesh at this time) recorded one song. They were also going to release an English Variant of the song by english song writer Steven Blake. The music was done by the late Alexander Kuroedov (the musician behind TEMA’s hits "Eto TEMA, and Radiatsia) though this song was never released, because Natalia Kulesh realized she did not have the resources to be the producer of the project. The girls then went to Alexander Bondarev... A relatively unknown Russian PR man. He promised the girls that he could once again get them on the radio, and more. He released a statement on Russian news sources that TEMA would be back in the fall with a new song "Devochka Problema," though this song was never even recorded.

The girls (Anohina and Kotova) soon realized that all of their "so-called" producers did not have the resources, or the know how to produce them. For a long time, it was silence for these girls. Although, in 2007, it was definite that the old TEMA girls would not be back in TEMA. Now, they plan to record new songs under a new group name "COM’MA " and are gathering material for a new album. ..

Holy cow! Pineapple hair has long hair now.

They look more professional, and a lot more mature too. I hope they make it. Ya know, I think if t.A.T.u. never existed (god forbid), they would have been more famous.

Kewl friends they got on their Myspace. Their voices sound more professional too. They wouldn't be confused with t.A.T.u. this time.

[Damned Waste]

Snezhana?? why?? she is a little ugly

[Tatu Style]

Well, I first off they look prettier much, the third one is a bit more questionable. But you know. It's cool. I still think both of them are better, but adding a third one is better because it doesnt give them the type of image that says we wanna be like tatu.

[torsten]

haha,but adding a third one makes people compare them with other girls bands.there are not only tatu in russia)))and number 3 in bands-is most popular over there

well,anyway i'm indifferent how many people they have ,cuase i'm no longer interesetd in this group, i used to like some of song,but it was long before
