Discography
- 2003 – “Factory Girls”
- 2008 – “We are so different”
- 2008 – “Best and Favorite”
The bright soloist of “Factory” Irina Toneva recently greatly surprised her fans by dyeing her hair pink and purple. In her new image, Toneva feels confident. Ira spoke about why such changes occurred in an exclusive interview with ProZvezd.
“The producer’s opinion is above all” - Irina, psychologists say that girls usually decide to suddenly change their hair color because of a desire for changes in life or depression. Do you agree? - Nope! In fact, everything happened spontaneously. I came to my hairdresser, and in honor of the beautiful tan after the vacation, we decided to go completely cold.
This is what came out of it. I like. Most likely this won’t last long – don’t be alarmed. – Doesn’t your producer Igor Matvienko scold you for such changes? - No, he doesn’t scold. There was only one time when I was strictly told not to experiment. But, by the way, I absolutely agreed with him then. Because she appeared in public with many finely braided braids, while wearing a classic glamorous and rather revealing dress.
According to Matvienko, it was not so hot. I haven't braided my hair since then. First of all, because for me the producer’s opinion is above all. – It is believed that Matvienko is one of the most decent producers in Russian show business. Do you agree? - Certainly. He is noble and very gallant. He is easy to work with.
- But at the same time, he has a lot of performers, in addition to “Factory”. And “Lyube” and “Ivanushki”... Aren’t you jealous of them? – No, we’re definitely not jealous of “Lyube” and “Ivanushki”. If the hairs of what you said appear, it is on some very thin layer of the ego-mind. It coexists very easily with another thick layer called “understanding.”
Group "Factory"
“The head of the family should be a man” - Your group is famous for its fans. What do they write to you on social networks? - They write different things. It's mostly positive. By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to my fans and ask them not to send fruit to our office. The fact is that we visit the production center very rarely, only at meetings.
I don’t have time to pick up the fruit, and it spoils. It’s better to bring pine nuts: they can lie there for a long time and wait for me (laughs). – Why suddenly fruits? - Because I'm a vegetarian. They are trying to feed me vitamins. Of course, I am extremely pleased with such care! - Is your name to get married? - I will not say! (Laughs.
) Fans on social networks sometimes propose marriage, but I correctly hush up this issue. How do I see my chosen one? I like tall men (laughs). – Is the financial condition of your future husband important to you? – Of course, I wanted him to be wealthier than me... or mega-super talented!
– And who will be in charge: you or your husband? - Of course he is. A woman controls the mood in the family; she is the emotional background. But all important decisions must be made by a man. – Irina, and the last question. In the midst of summer, many artists went on vacation. Where are you going? – We had a vacation for the May holidays.
I was on holiday in Sri Lanka, surfing. I agree that this is an extreme form of recreation, but we tried to ride carefully (laughs). I haven’t gone anywhere in the summer yet. I really like Moscow now: our capital this year is different, not hot. But we periodically go to the sea for concerts. In a few days, for example, we will have a concert in Anapa, we’ll sunbathe there for a day. This is beyond me.
