Creation History
The song was written by the famous pop composer and performer Dmitry Malikov to the words of Igor Avetisyants in 1990. At the time of the creation of the song, Malikov and Vetlitskaya were in a romantic relationship. As Fyodor Razzakov wrote, in his book Dossier on the Stars: True, Speculation, Sensation. Behind the curtains of show business "(1998), Vetlitskaya made a lot of noise in Dmitry's personal life:" With Malikov ... she met in 1989 during one of the concerts (Vetlitskaya performed on the pop scene since 1984: she sang backing vocals, imitated playing the saxophone in the Rondo group). Malikov fell in love with a slender blonde at first sight and immediately presented her with the song “Soul” for her birthday. ” Vetlitskaya herself also said that he gave her a song for her birthday. In an interview with Family newspaper, she said:
Dima Malikov, by the way, gave me the song “Soul” for my birthday in 1990. The best gift of my life. By the way, when we divorced Malikov, a journalist from a newspaper came to him and began to question me. When asked why we broke up, he said: "I still want to live." It really amused me. He just, like my other husbands, could not come to terms with the rhythm of my life [2] .

Razzakov also noted that Vetlitskaya’s successful career as a singer began with the song “Soul”.
Criticism Reaction
In 2010, the Afisha magazine included the song in its editorial list of “12 Russian pop songs of the 90s that sound better now than then,” placing it on the second line. Noting that Vetlitskaya’s first album was perhaps the best and most stylistically accurate statement in the history of Russian pop music, the magazine wrote that “Soul” is its metaphysical peak: a strikingly bright song about parting, in which, among other things, there is solo on sitare " [3] .
Music video
The second music video of Vetlitskaya, styled in the 18th century, was shot on the song. In the video, the singer played one of the images that she realized in her various works. “I made several diverse video images. The video “Look into the eyes” is a girl from the modeling business, the video “Soul” is a kind fairy from a fairy tale, “Turn off the light” is a romantic heroine, “Playboy” is a frivolous girl, ”the artist said in an interview with“ Novye Izvestia ” [4] . In 2002, the video clip became available for viewing on the singer’s official website [5] .
