25 April 2009 (Russia)
OpiumRoz (Russian: ОпиумRoz; Translated: Opium of Roses) is the debut studio album of Russian girlband Serebro. It was released 25 April 2009 by Moonlit Records in Russia, and 2 March 2010 by Symbolic Records. It was produced by Maxim Fadeev and some of Serebro themselves. The album originally had a projected release date of 17 October 2008 but due to problems with the track list the release had been delayed. The album was later released April 25, 2009 in their native Russia. The album was later released through iTunes worldwide by the Finnish record label Symbolic Records.
Both versions of the album feature 11 tracks in total and include their debut single and Eurovision Song Contest 2007 entry "Song #1". Marina Lizorkina's vocals feature on both versions, though she left group in June 2009 (before the international release). It didn't chart in any major album charts. The album received critical acclaim from critics, but had less commercial success calling it an amazing taste of music genres of Pop, rock and Electro. The album was recorded in Moscow, Russia by their management group Moonlit Records.
After Serebro achieved third place in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, the group was signed with Russian record label, Monolit Records. The band mostly did their work in Moscow, Russia, the bands mainland as the label was its current location. The band recorded 11 tracks for the album, 6 English tracks were planned for the album and the remaining 5 tracks were recorded in Russian. The group recorded in 2007 through to 2008, and planned for a 17 October 2008 release once the album had finished recording. Serebro and their management struggled with the track list when it came to narrowing down the choice of recorded tracks and because of this the album was delayed. After the band recorded songs, and released the four songs from it, the bands member Marina Lizorkina later separated from the band, due to financial and personal reasons.
