When "Guests from the Future" reappeared on stage two years ago, 10 years after the group's disbandment, many of their fans hoped that the duo would reunite, but this never happened. Eva Polna is still pursuing a solo career, Yuri Usachev has her own projects, and sparks no longer fly between them, as was the case in the early 2000s. Only recently did the singer admit that they were actually connected then.
11 years of success for "Guests from the Future"
Since childhood, Eva Polna was fond of music and singing, and at the age of 19 she first appeared on the stage as a backing vocalist and a member of the dancer of the rap group "A-2". In parallel, she performed in St. Petersburg nightclubs, performing cover versions of world hits. There she was once noticed by Yuri Usachev, who was just looking for a vocalist for his new musical project. From the very first minutes, he realized that this was exactly the voice that could conquer thousands of listeners, and invited the girl to discuss the idea of the project. A few days later, they met in the studio and immediately began recording songs. This is how the "Guests from the Future" group appeared.
An important role in the promotion of the new group was played by DJ Groove, who aired on the radio their first song "Time is Sand", which took the first lines of the charts. The artists considered the official date of birth of the "Guests from the Future" group on March 8, 1998, when they gave their first concert in the Titanic nightclub.
They recorded their first album "In Hundreds of Years" in just one night at their home studio. The audience greeted him rather coolly, and the group started looking for a producer. It was Evgeny Orlov, who worked with the "Otpety swindlers". After that, "Guests from the Future" shot their first video, recorded a new album and went on a tour. Soon their hits were sung by the whole country: "You are somewhere", "Run from me", "Dislike", "Winter in the Heart" was called the beginning of a new direction in dance pop music.
In the early 2000s. "Guests from the Future" became one of the most popular groups in the domestic show business, their concerts were held in crowded halls, and songs sounded from everywhere. They released 2 more albums, and both of them enjoyed success with listeners. When in 2009 Eva Polna announced the breakup of the group, for many it came as a complete surprise.
Secret romance
Yuri Usachev and Eva Polna were an unusual tandem: at first glance, they had nothing in common, but on stage they looked very harmonious together. They complemented each other in many ways and easily found a common language in their work. Usachev was the ideologist of the group and its sound producer, Polna became not only a soloist, but also the author of most of the lyrics and co-author of music, as well as the director of the group's show and the creator of sketches of all the stage costumes of the collective.
All 11 years of the group's existence, the personal life of the artists attracted no less public attention than their work. The ambiguous lyrics of the songs gave rise to rumors that Eva Polna is interested not only in men, but also in female representatives. The singer only fueled these rumors, then confirming this information, then denying it. It seemed to many fans of the group that in this way she was simply trying to divert attention from their relationship with Yuri Usachev.
Since Eva Polna was the author of the lyrics for many of the "Guests from the Future" songs, many were sure of the autobiographical nature of the romantic repertoire and drew parallels between the singer's creative and personal life. But she herself repeated more than once: Usachev became a very close person for her, but at the same time they were united by extremely friendly relations. And only in 2020, the artist admitted that they really had an affair: "".
When the group "Guests from the Future" broke up, many were sure that this was due to the breakdown of relations between the artists. The singer herself spoke about it like this: "".
Parallel destinies
When in 2005 the singer's daughter Evelyn was born, there were rumors that Yuri Usachev became her father, and Eva Polna herself was silent about this. While the public was discussing their secret romance, each of them already had their own personal life, and their fates developed in parallel. The secret was revealed only many years later, when singer Denis Klyaver admitted that he was actually Evelyn's father, and that at that time he was married. Their romance was stormy, but short-lived, but at the same time the artists managed to maintain friendly relations, and he continues to communicate with his daughter. About the reasons for parting with the singer Klyaver said: "".
After 2 years, Eva had a second daughter, Amalia, whose father was businessman and restaurateur Sergei Pilgun. Their civil marriage with the singer lasted only 2 years and broke up due to frequent conflicts over Eva's excessive passion for her work.
Yuri Usachev in 2005 presented his new project "Zventa Sventana", the soloist of which was his wife Tina Kuznetsova. In parallel, he was engaged in studio work, song arrangements, production and collaborated with many stars of show business, including Alsou, Katya Lel and the Vintage group. The musician became the father of two children - daughter Emilia and son Gabriel.
In 2018, the artists reappeared together on the stage - they performed the hits of "Guests from the Future" at a concert dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the MTV TV channel. Many fans hoped that the group would reunite, but the artists did not have such plans - each of them is still engaged in their own projects.
Eva Polna was not the only artist who hid the name of the father of her child: 11 domestic stars who gave birth to children from married men.
