Music critic and producer Evgeny Babichev said in an interview with that this first period of the new year was not successful for many Russian artists.
Babichev explained that December 2025 is not a profitable enough month for performers. According to critics, the demand for artists to participate in private events is very low. For example, some musicians receive few bookings or no corporate events at all.
“There are cases where artists plan to work on New Year's Eve but end up celebrating the holiday at home – with family or friends,” the expert said.
According to Babichev, this situation directly affects the artists' early year activities. Lack of representation reduces motivation to release new content.
“New music often appears when artists understand that they can make money from their hobby – through concerts, filming and corporate events. Currently, the market can hardly make such a request,” the producer shared.
