I know 100% who Klavdiya Petrivna is. And it's not Masha Kondratenko

Recently, Klavdiya Petrivna received an award at one of the music awards, and the artist showed herself on stage for the first time wearing a big hat. Everyone recognized the famous Ukrainian singer Maria Kondratenko under the headpiece. TikTok exploded with sensation, and I was in despair. Let me explain what's wrong with this story.

The singer's label's well-thought-out PR move worked. Viewers are ready to accept any information, not distinguishing between PR and truth. For example, if producer Iryna Horova brings Potap on stage and says that it is Nadia Dorofeeva, there is a chance that the audience might believe it.

Not everyone understands how a PR strategy works and why it is needed at all, but basic ignorance leads to "audience blindness," when anything can be "pushed" on the audience.

Now let's take a step-by-step look at why Masha Kondratenko is not Klavdia Petrovna. Last year, the singer posted a piece of video in which she sang one of Klavdia's songs, imitating Petrivna's voice. The story worked, and rumors spread. But if you let a professional vocal teacher listen to Masha's singing, he will tell you for sure that the singers' voices are different. There is just some similarity in the timbre of the voice, but only remotely.

The story is beneficial to both sides: the label confuses listeners about who Klavdiya Petrivna really is, and Masha Kondratenko maintains a presence in the information space.

On December 20, 2023, I posted a photo of young Solomiya Opryshko, the real Klavdiya Petrivna, and a video for the song "I Lied to You" on my telegram channel. Rumor has it that this is the younger sister of the talented singer and songwriter Osty. He has had many videos with Solomiya in the past. My trusted sources brought me a tip-off that this girl was the very same Claudia. I looked at her Instagram – there's almost nothing there, everything is deleted, but I found a demo of the song "I Lied to You" in the current ones. On Valentine's Day this year, the artist will release a studio version of this song.

It's a fact: why would a random girl from Instagram have a working demo of Klavdia's upcoming release?

Besides, there's a video of Solomiya singing live, and her voice makes everything clear...

Iryna Horova is the icing on our cake. In a sense, I would say that Iryna is Klavdiya Petrivna. The singer is backed by Nebo Music, and Horova's label Pomitni is in charge of releases. There are rumors that Klavdiya is now Horova's project, and Nebo music is more of a media project. Why are there such complicated schemes even here?

On the sidelines, they say that Iryna is waiting for Solomiya Opryshko to turn 18 and sign an exclusive contract with Pomitni. Let me remind you that the girl is 17 now.

Time will tell whether it's a rumor or the truth, but I'm 100% sure of one thing: Klavdiya Petrivna is Solomiya Opryshko.
