CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description In January 2008, Marina released Modern Fairytale, an exquisite new album where elements of reality & dreams co-exist in a wonderful and a creative way. With subjects such as love & loss, peace & war, struggle & success, togetherness & loneliness, intertwined with vivid fairytale images (ghosts, butterfly/guardian angels & such) Marina creates a magical, yet a very real world, full of highs and lows. From the first notes of Hope, through the happy beats of Sunshine Guaranteed; to the longing words in Babushka, sung in Marina's native Russian, the album is a magical collection of songs, through and through. ________________________________________________________________________ MARINA'S NOTES: My co-writer (Nick Baker), our engineer Jared Brown and I recorded most of the album at Graham Nash s in Los Angeles. My live band laid down several tracks it was really cool to have other musicians besides the usual team (myself & Nick)! It was a fun (too much fun at times!) and a vibey environment, seeming as though we were on some exotic island we heard the call of neighbors peacocks during sessions, which made recording vocals interesting. It was also very inspiring to record in the Nash studio there was a beautiful portrait of Joni Mitchell, pictures of the Beatles, and Graham s cool hippy jeans he wore at Woodstock! It s really exciting to have this album for the world to hear. I am very proud of every song and I hope you will love Modern Fairytale as much as my friends & I loved creating it. A big Russian hug & spasibo/thank you for listening!!! Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAnother beautiful addition to Marina V's catalogue A. Sweeney | London, England | 02/23/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Marina V, a Russian-born, California-based singer, pianist & songwriter, returns with her sixth album, waiting for the long-overdue moment in which her considerable talent is recognised and acknowledged by the whole world. Armed with her pitch-perfect, crystal clear, breathy voice and a dozen well-written, intelligent, dramatic soft rock/pop songs, there are absolutely no reasons why the majority of the tracks on Modern Fairytale shouldn't make the playlist of any commercial or alternative radio station. Citing influences such as The Beatles and Tchaikovsky, and - given her delightfully quirky style and her incredible ability as a pianist - comparisons with artists such as Tori Amos are inevitable, but Marina has her own very distinct, unique sound, part pop, part classical, ably demonstrated on this, her sixth official album release. Modern Fairytale is a very enjoyable listen and touches an emotional chord many times with the wonderful I'll Stand Up For You, the beautifully fragile Love Me Back and the joyous Sunshine Guaranteed. Other highlights include the epic, classical sensibilities of Wilhelmena and the impressive album opener, Hope. The only track which didn't work for me was The Strength I Need and that was more because of the arrangement and production of the song rather than the song itself. Other than that, this is a very solid album with more than a few genuine moments of beauty and a very worthy addition to my growing collection of Marina's underrated albums. Recommended." Beautiful!!! Beatlefan 4 | Los Angeles, CA | 02/23/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album is brilliant. From top to bottom, there is not a moment of filler. Emotions of every kind come to life, whether the first, second or hundredth listen. The listener is taken on a real journey through the sweet sentiment of "Hope", the beauty of the "Strength I Need", the playfulness of "Sunshine Guaranteed" and "Fate," and through the pure artistry of the collection. "Modern Fairytale" is simply a magnificent masterpiece. Thank you, Marina!!! " Marina V is awesome! Jeffrey Richter | Orange County, CA | 02/18/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have Marina's other albums and this new one is as good as I hoped it would be! Each time I listen to it (which has been many many times thus far) it gets better. These are songs that you will quickly learn to sing along with. Her lyrics are thought-provoking and her melodies are memorable. I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys good music!"
