Since 2005, T.A. Music has been the production company of t.A.T.u., which is located in Moscow, Russia. The liner notes that accompanied the release of Dangerous and Moving photos-sexys said that the company was comprised of t.A.T.u., Boris Renski, Dasha Mischenko,and Andrey Artischev.

Stringent rules were laid out for Katina and Volkova. Their management told the girls only to sign autographs for people related to the group, no one else, and to only give brief answers to the press, if at all.[3] They were forbidden to speak about their sexual activities, living together and nina friederike gn�dig pics their personal lives. Their tight contract they were under dictated what they did, what they said, and even how they felt. Volkova was told to ignore questions from reporters, frown, and look clearly upset to further the contrast between herself and Katina.

On September 23, 2004, Volkova gave birth to Viktoria (Vika) Pavlovna Volkova, and she soon returned to the studio photos-sexys with Katina.

On September 26, 2003, the act released nina friederike gn�dig pics a compilation CD of remixes, titled Remixes. In November 2003, the CD was released in Russia, with two new tracks, and videos. The two new tracks were "Prostiye Dvizheniya" (which was previously released as a single but had not appeared on a commercial release before) and "Ne Ver, Ne Boysya."

On September 9, 2008, a press release appeared on the band's official website that declared that the forthcoming album would be titled "Veselye Ulybki" ("Happy Smiles") instead of "Upravleniye Otbrosami." The name change reflected sarcastic comments about the state of the Russian music business made by Volkova and Katina in an interview with Moscow's Time Out Magazine.^{Nina-Friederike Gn�dig naked class="reference">[14]} The press release also provided the tracklist of the album and an early version of its cover art, but still no confirmed release date was given. On September 12, the album's third single, "You and I" made its debut on Love Radio. The press release disappeared from the site shortly afterward, only to re-appear on October 8 with a change made to the cover art --- where there was once the face of a smiling astronaut on the original design, a black square now appeared.

T.A. Music was the label under which Happy Smiles was released internationally on elisha cuthberg photos sexy iTunes.

The band and its management were criticized for their blatant use of lesbian imagery to create controversy and publicity. For instance, the cover of the January 2003 issue of Maxim magazine Russia showed Volkova topless and wearing a skimpy thong bikini bottom with Elena wearing sportswear lingerie. Volkova was 17; Elena was 18. Other photo shoots included the September 2003 issue of FHM Jelena Sergejewna Katina Russia, where both girls were topless and Elena was covering Yulia's breasts with her hands. Questions about their sexuality were evaded by ambiguous statements such as "Don't be afraid to be yourself; don't be afraid to love", or that they did not like labels. Katina once said in an interview that this lesbianism was "no image", while Katina had acknowledged in earlier interviews that it was an obligation.
