The selection, again, turned out to be quite subjective, but such singers as Natalya Vetlitskaya, Lada Dance, Irina Saltykova were without a doubt sex symbols of the 90s.

Natalia Vetlitskaya

She was remembered for the song “Look into your eyes,” where Natalya demonstrates her dancing rather than vocal talents. But how much grace she had! Vetlitskaya's makeup from the video and her hairstyle became real hits. In 1996 he released the album “Slave of Love”. Natalia presented the ideal of youth and sexuality with her entire appearance: a short skirt showing off her flawless legs, a bustier, and huge hoop earrings. How teenagers loved this style! And in “MuzOboz” she appeared in almost every issue

Lada Dance

The most famous songs: “Girl of the night”, “You need to live high”, “Reggae in the night”, “I won’t be with you”. Lada on stage diligently justified her pseudonym with desperate dances. “Reggae in the Night” or “You Need to Live in a High” have all the attributes beautiful life of that time: a yacht, a convertible, and even a black actor.

The singer and her producer maintained the image of a shocking and in some ways even scandalous star. Lika Star became one of the first domestic artists to pose nude for the Russian version of the world famous Playboy magazine. In 1994, Lika made a very candid video for the song “Let It Rain,” filmed at that time by aspiring director Fyodor Bondarchuk.

To record her first album, the singer had to pawn jewelry and her own apartment in Moscow. With the money she received, she recorded her first album, “Gray Eyes,” and a video clip for the song of the same name. Saltykova relies on sexuality and therefore the video turns out to be quite provocative for that time. Irina herself says that “Gray eyes are my calling card.” Two weeks after the video goes on television, Irina begins to receive offers from record companies to buy the album. The singer gave preference to the Soyuz studio and in mid-1995 her first album was released, which became a bestseller, becoming the second best-selling album of 1995, second only to Alla Pugacheva’s album.
