Hit of the day
Удалил наш чат Andrey Gromov
Andrey Gromov is tagged hip-hop on the storefront and sounds like Russian-language pop about how she got tired. There is no passport, city, school or family in open sources: the name is too ordinary to invent a biography from it. There is no need to fabricate a yard in Kharkiv or a job before the stage — behind this name on the card sits a 2026 singles mill, not interviews. The alias is not even an alias: “Andrey Gromov” reads like a man from a registry office, and that is the twist — search immediately spills an actor, a DJ and the rapper Gromъ. Country by language and storefront: Russia.
The storefront hit is «Ты просто устала», an April single on SONASTY and the track most listeners open first. Then almost every Friday: «Сам виноват», «Слишком поздно», «Лучше меня», «Так и надо», «Самое страшное», «Не улыбаешься», «Был слепой», «Спасала одна», «Без измен и вранья», «Я не услышал», «Ты больше не плачешь», «Поздно домой» and the sequel «Ты просто устала 2». From August the copyright moves to REAL ENOUGH: «Гордость», «Я за тебя рад», «Я опоздал», «Удалил наш чат», «Некому сказать», «Ты устала быть первой», «Я научился», «Мы не враги». Genre on the sleeves is already pop; on the artist card it is still hip-hop: no manifesto album, no features, only three-minute monologues.

There is no private life behind the lyrics — and that is the project’s character. He speaks as a man who deleted the chat, showed up late, failed to hear, is happy for her and swears “we are not enemies,” yet no wife, children or move from a real courtyard sits behind those lines: it is a breakup role, not a biography. Do not confuse him with Andrey Yuryevich Gromov, born 1959 — the boy from The Adventures of the Yellow Suitcase and Officers, later a diplomat. Do not confuse him with Minsk house DJ Andrey Gromov (chicken EDM, «I Love You One Two Three»), with the metal vocalist from Krest and Front, with rapper Gromъ Andrey Pogrebitsky, or with silent-era cinema. Pirate dumps also mix in «Уже не моя» and other people’s covers — they are not on this storefront.
Hear him as a dense stream of “he is to blame, she is tired,” without a promise that a living man with a birth certificate and a courtyard stands behind the surname. There is no birth date: breakup lyrics and the late “home too late” nights point to Cancer. Genre on the card is hip-hop, in fact pop; country Russia; front door «Ты просто устала».

Hit of the week
Простите нас, дети Mihael Gudovskih
Michael Gudovskikh is a Russian singer-songwriter working at the intersection of pop, chanson, and estrada. His music is often released under the “Pravilnaya Pop Muzyka” (“Proper Pop Music”) banner — a project built on live lyrics, memorable melodies, and a direct, human conversation with the listener rather than short-lived hype.
His songs explore love and pain, family, growing up, childhood memories, fatherhood, and feminine strength. Gudovskikh writes both music and lyrics himself, so each track feels like a personal story — emotional, meaningful, and free of empty formulas. He releases music regularly and quickly finds an audience on streaming platforms and digital music services.

Notable releases include “Ona s kharakterom,” “Krugovorot zhizni,” “Poslushay, syn,” “Vzroslaya doch,” “Detstvo, detstvo,” “Polyubila Nastoyashchego,” “Ona spasla menya molcha,” “Granitsa rodnykh,” and “Skazhi, tsyganka.” This is music for listeners who value sincere vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and “proper” pop with a chanson sensibility. Private life here is material, not décor. In his open copy, divorce is a turning point: after it — a father who “didn’t stop being a dad,” a father’s mistakes, men who cry too, women’s strength, and childhood memory. Karmiel is not an Olympic Stadium stage, but a town from which you write into a phone and post to the feed. The listener meets daily life: a daughter grown up, a son hearing advice, love after 40 said without shame, family and pain in one verse.
Michael Gudovskikh continues to expand his catalog, release new singles, and strengthen his image as an independent artist who speaks about life simply, honestly, and from the heart.
