Now you live in Greece, what kind of people are there? How has she influenced your work?

Greece for me is a large, powerful country. Everything basically came from her culture. It seems to me that the mentality of Russia and Greece is very close, they are very spiritually interconnected, so I did not feel much difference in changing places. This is a lot for me - I feel at home there.

But I believe that the place does not affect the music in any way, because music is the inner, soul strings.

What is your new album about?

An album about everything. About different things that surround us: about victories, failures, about love and about life. Each song is like a continuation of one story, like a chapter in a book. It's about life.

Earlier, in your compositions, a deep meaning was read between the lines, but now you voice your thoughts directly. It may seem to some fans that this is not the Linda they knew. What is the reason for this change?

I did what I felt, and if there are any changes, then this is normal for any person, especially for a musician, because you are always looking for, the attitude towards everything always changes. For example, if we talk about that past life - it was so closed, so all … When I return to the past, I even have a shudder - I was not me. But what is happening now is what I am today. But our past is an element of life.

When I return to the past, I even have a shudder - I was not me.

What will happen next? Are you already working on something new or are you busy presenting this album to the public?

We are really writing a lot of interesting things, I think that something new will appear in parallel. With time. A period must pass for the emotions to cool down. Because if you keep writing in this respect, the albums will be very similar. It is impossible to jump out of oneself; some accumulation time must pass. And then, naturally, there will be something new.

How did Stefanos Korkolis (producer, composer, husband of Linda - ed.) Influence you creatively?

Very strong, because Stefanos, no matter how from this world and as a musician and as a person. I think that God kissed him and he has a specific task on this earth. The depth in music that I can now feel with such an interesting person, she just now came to me. There are no trifles in working with him, you cannot separate some things - everything is whole, strong and spontaneous.

It is very interesting to work with him from a professional point of view - you continue to discover yourself as a musician. He is so unlimited in anything that, living and working with him, you discover many things in a new way and become simply limitless.

Does your family support you? Are there people whose opinion do you first of all listen to?

The family fully supports in all respects, loves what we do very much.

Of course they do. This is dad first of all! I adore this person, we are more than family. I don't know how to say … This is a very strong relationship and understanding. And even at a distance, we feel by intuition. If someone feels bad or good, it is felt immediately. The family fully supports in all respects, loves what we do very much.

You have many talents: music, painting - how do you manage everything? Are there any other favorite activities or hobbies?

I really like to walk a lot. I loved to run a lot, movement somehow inspires me to new thoughts. Also literature, of course, good films - such ordinary things that touch any person.
