Viktoriya Slava |
neAngely (Russian: неАнгелы, noAngels) is a popular duo that was formed in 2006 by the famous Ukrainian producer Yuriy Nikitin. Their first song, "Ты из тех самых" (You Are One of Those Most) already became a hit in two weeks time. The audience was impressed and intrigued by the strong, low and sexy voices of Slava and Victoria. The name of the duet "neAngely" came from Yuri Nikitin who thought about a group called "Angels" but in the process of project preparation and numerous dialogue with the duo, he realized: "Angels" - this is not about them, "What are you angels? You "noAngels(neAngely)!"
