Happy birthday in music heaven to my mother, Natas Happy birthday in music heaven to my mother, Natasha Ghent. I love and miss you Mom, you are always in my heart ❤️

This photo of my mother is a miracle - swipe to compare with the original! Last year in the height of covid lockdowns, completely out of the blue I received this beautifully restored and colourized photo of my mother, just a few weeks after her birthday. At the time I was working on my mother's piece "The Angel" and thinking of her every day, and here out of the blue she appeared, a beautiful Angel, as if to say everything would be ok. As soon as I saw it I began to cry - someone I didn't know had taken the time to restore her photo and colourize it for me. A gift I don't have words for, he captured the blue of her eyes and the delicacy of her hair perfectly. So today, in my mother’s honor and on her birthday, I want to thank Benjamin Lopez at @lovedonesforever for his talent, gift and for bringing new life to her black and white photo, plus his mission of "fighting back on mental health and depression", a mission which grows more important every day and is a cause I support wholeheartedly. looking at my mother's photo, it’s as though the decades fall away, I am filled with love all over again and grateful for the miracle and kindness of people who bring love and joy to others. 

Happy heavenly Birthday Mom! I love you!

NEW SINGLE OUT TODAY!! 🎶🎤💗🇫🇷 I’m NEW SINGLE OUT TODAY!! 🎶🎤💗🇫🇷 I’m thrilled to release “La Table Qui Était Seule” my first French chanson.
 
▶️ link in bio to listen - take a 5-minute vacation to a café in a small town in France!
 
Born in the atmosphere of the first confinement, the lyrics were written by my dear friend & acclaimed author Christophe Fourvel. I put his words to music and we recorded while in isolation. The song kept me connected to France & the French language during lockdown in NYC.
 
When I first read the lyric, I was astounded by the power and beauty of Christophe’s imagery, the intimate way in which he captured what we were feeling during the lockdown here in New York City, My second thought was, how am I ever going to sing this?! A few days later, the melody arrived, seemingly of its own accord, and I just followed where it wanted to go. Within 20 minutes the song was complete. It felt truly miraculous.
 
Christophe says, “I wanted to create a feeling of ambiguous loneliness, a kind of solitude which could come down to the lockdown but also of personal events and situations. I know the strong connection Valerie has with France. I thought of her, and wrote a song speaking about a person in New York who chooses an “isolated” table to feel closer to the distant people she loves.”
 
You’ll hear beautiful cellos by Dave Eggar, and Jerome Buigues on acoustic guitar, with myself on piano/vocals, all recorded remotely during the pandemic year. The poignant cover is an original work of art by renowned abstract painter Jean-Pierre Schneider. 
 
I’m excited, and a bit nervous to release an original song in the French language. But Christophe’s confidence in my ability to sing in French (even with my New York accent!), and the beauty of his words carry me forward. it’s a time of uncertainty and change, I feel inspired to go out on a limb and try something new. I hope you enjoy our new creation! Thank you for your love & support-it means the world to me ❤️💜❤️
