The popular Russian singer called the new patriotic songs insincere

Some of the modern patriotic songs look insincere. This was stated by the singer, People's Artist of Russia Oleg Gazmanov at a press conference dedicated to his 75th birthday, the portal reports. News.ru . He is sure that love for the Motherland should not be expressed only in repeating words about Russia and victory.

"The music programs were supposed to broadcast patriotic songs so that our soldiers would understand that the entire musical media sphere also works for them. Unfortunately, I don't see this. And it's terrible, I think it's wrong," the artist is sure.

In his opinion, a real patriotic song should promote healthy values, culture and everything that benefits the country.

"The situation is depressing. I believe that a special military operation should have greatly influenced creativity," Gazmanov stressed.

But, on the other hand, some artists "rushed to make patriotic songs."

"It looks a little, well, insincere, I think. I may be mistaken, but those who used to sing disco songs, and sang well, suddenly began to sing, and in every word "Russia". A patriotic song does not mean that in every word you need to repeat "Russia", "victory". After all, this… About love is also a patriotic song. And about all the good things," the musician explained.

Gazmanov added that there is still something to work on, especially for music directors.

"Not only to think about the ratings, but about where we are and what we need to do to win," the artist concluded.

As reported by EADaily, earlier Gazmanov said that he gave his daughter his performance for the wedding, and also helped in organizing the wedding celebration.

"First of all, of course, I helped them do it. Secondly, I sang a few songs there. Only a few, but they were all in place," Gazmanov believes.
