In the album "Happy Smiles", released by Souz Studio, t.A.T.u. haven't lost the main thing - this risky feeling in their creative work. Despite the unexpected album's  title, despite the accumulation of different promo-photos in the booklet and despite mixing of English and Russian songs on one disk for the first time*. However, keeping in mind the presence of many authors from different parts of the world, musically the album turned out consistent and in brisk pop-synthetic style. On the background of the other tracks, video-singles "White Robe", "220" and "Fly on the Wall" (music video for this song seems quite a logical step) stand out significantly. Without jumping over their own heads, t.A.T.u. were on 92nd place in the general album sales chart of American iTunes after the first week of sales - it's the best result among Russian artists in 2008. t.A.T.u. may happily smile from international outer-space.
