WARNING, TAKE THE FOLLOWING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.
Looks like Miss Irina Lazareanu is going to FINALLY release her first album this fall after three or four years of development. If you don't remember, Irina performed a number of her songs at the Chanel Paris-Londres Pre-Fall 2007-2008 (which incidentally, was an excellent collection). Now, if you are looking for the next Billboard #1, I'll tell you right now that you aren't going to find it coming from Irina, because put bluntly, she's no Celine Dion. That said, I reckon she might end up enjoying a bit of underground success, with the conceptual, artsy folk thing she has going on. I remember seeing a video where she did a spoken word piece as well; if I can find that I'll post it for you all :).
The first single from the album (which has been available for quite a while now) is called 'Strange Places':
As I said, she's not everyone's cup of tea, with her breath-y, nasal-y voice. I remember when I first heard this song I thought to myself 'holy MAC, if she doesn't stop soon, my ears are going to start bleeding'. But about a week later, I caught myself wanting to listen to it again. Perhaps it's an acquired taste that grows on you, like wine or raw salmon? Anyway, I'm eager to see what the rest of the album sounds like... She's got some pretty big names collaborating with her on it, including Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono, so there's definitely a lot of intrigue surrounding the project. Okay, I'm also supporting her because she's one of my favorite models and ohhhh so hilarious, but still, I think she might come out with something interesting.
Just to give you a bit more of a rounded view of what we've heard from Irina, I'll post the Chanel show as well. Regardless of whether you're interested in Irina's music, I would encourage you to check these out just for the collection itself. Love, love, LOVE.
