Blestyashchiye

Originally Blestyashchiye consisted of three singers: Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis and Varvara Koroleva.

Featuring original arrangements, lovely lyrics, and artistic music videos, Blestyashchiye became quite popular.

In 1998, the group released their second album Prosto Mechty (Russian: Просто мечты, English: Only Dreams).

After the album was released, Polina Iodis left the group and the three remaining girls continued to work together.

Soon, the group released a new single "Za osen'yu pridet zima"[2] (Russian: За осенью придёт зима, English: After autumn comes winter).

The album featured ten new songs, one of which, "Ciao Bambino",[3] was named the most "provocative" clip of year.

Soon Olga Orlova (the front member and the songwriter of the songs that made Blestyashchiye famous) became pregnant and left the group.

On July 31, she received a call that she would need to be in Moscow on August 1(the next day), to start her new career as a member of the group Blestyashchiye.

Janna Friske is considered the leader of the group, publicity director, and oversees that girls communicate "daily".

In their 'free time' the four members wrote songs for their next album, Za Chetyre Morya[7] (Russian: За четыре моря, English: Beyond Four Seas) (2002).

Their fifth studio album Apel'sinoviy ray (Russian: Апельсиновый рай, English: Orange Paradise) (2003) was an extraordinary success and left its mark on the year.

In 2003, after the release of Apelcinovie Rai, Janna Friske left the group to embark on her solo career.

In 2005 the group released their 8th album, Vostochniye skazki (Russian: Восточные сказки, English: Oriental Fairytales) featuring a duet with the famous Iranian singer Arash.

In March 2007, Anna Semenovich left the group to pursue a solo career, and was soon replaced by Anastasia Osipova.
