The partnership of the two broke in 1999.{{cite web|url=http://www.fadeev.ru/maksim|title=О Максиме – Fadeev.ru – Неофициальный сайт Максима Фадеева – композитора, продюсера, музыканта, певца и его проектов|publisher=Max-fadeev.ru|access-date=27 November 2014|archive-date=26 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180226174700/http://fadeev.ru/maksim|url-status=dead}} Linda eventually started writing her songs herself.
