Chi-li - Leto (Summer)

Chi-li, Russian group, and their hit Leto

Cross-Europe Chart Challenge... of Death: RUSSIA

On we go. Nine "new" songs, lots to say about them. Welcome to the man known only as Brittle Lemon (BL), recovering ex-blogger who's been "starting" a music blog for about five months now.

If you're playing the Umlauts Drinking Game at home, I suggest you take a drink every time something is praised by comparing it to Girls Aloud. You'll be incapable of driving or operating heavy machinery by the time the last song comes on.

BL: Since I know nothing about The Russian Pop, it would seem that I could approach this task without any preconceptions.
