Elena Temnikova Essentials

Since striking out as a solo artist in 2014, Elena Temnikova has cultivated tracks packed with bright synthesisers and stomping house beats. As part of the group Serebro, she produced playful, sensual pop; on her own, she takes the infectious beats the trio is famous for and adds a sleeker, darker sound. Her 2018 debut LP, TEMNIKOVA III: Не модные, shows off sumptuous house music for a packed, exclusive club—as icy cool as it is decadent, with thumping bass and fluid synths layered under her echoing, contemplative vocals.
