Alla Pugacheva has played a major role in some of Russian pop's greatest moments, and during her 50-year career, she's poured a sense of unforgettable drama into every musical approach she's attempted. Dream pop ballads such as “Song About Me” show her playful vulnerability as she finds musical kinship with French female contemporaries. Still going strong in the '80s, she roared in with high-energy tunes like “Hundred Friends”. In "Two Stars", her rocking duet with Vladimir Kuzmin, Pugacheva breaks into a full mezzo-soprano mode—a moment that proves she belongs at the top.
