It’s here! My new single “The Angel” release

It’s here! My new single “The Angel” releases TODAY!

▶️ link in bio to listen

The beautiful classical cantata I recorded with my mother 33 years ago is now available on all platforms. Just in time for Mother’s Day! ❤️❤️

I think it sounds beautiful and hope you do too. My mother, Natasha Ghent, was a violist with American Ballet Theatre & Queens Symphony. She composed music to Mikhaïl Lermontov’s poem of the same name (Angyel in Russian) and we recorded it together in 1988. She is playing the violin and viola, and I am singing soprano.

This music was almost lost forever after my mother passed...but we saved it! The Angel was a lifelong dream of hers and today, her dream has come true.

I’m moved beyond words to be in this moment!! so many of you have written beautiful comments about my mother and this project, it means so much to me to read through them. I’m indescribably happy that my mother’s music is finally out in the world.

Thanks everybody for your love and support! What do you feel when listening to The Angel? Let me know in comments!

Thrilled beyond words to share with you that "The Angel", a classical cantata written by my mother and that she and I recorded 33 years ago, releases this Friday, May 7. Just in time for Mother’s Day!

This is the project so close to my heart that I couldn’t choose which photo - swipe to see the result & the album cover! I am eternally grateful to you for helping me choose. 🙏🏼💕

My mother was a professional violist, born in Paris to Russian parents, and emigrated from France to New York City as a child. She played with American Ballet Theatre when Barishnikov danced, with American Symphony under Leopold Stokowski, Queens Symphony and the New York Opera Orchestra. She founded the SoHo Ensemble and taught hundreds of students.

One of my mother’s life works was setting Mikhail Lermontov's classic poem, The Angel, to music. The arrangement we recorded in 1988 is for soprano, violin, viola and synclavier - just my mother and I in the studio for an entire day.

This recording would have been lost years ago after my mother died, but fortunately we were able to transfer the audio. I promised myself that one day I would mix and release The Angel in her honor.

33 years later, that day has finally arrived! I can't wait to share The Angel with you, and for you to hear the beautiful viola and violin playing of my mother, Natasha Ghent. She is truly an angel to me.

Choosing picture for promo on my newest project - eyes open or eyes closed?

I can’t decide! It’s driving me crazy & I’m tired of looking at pictures of myself - so asking all of you! Which photo moves you more, eyes open or closed? 🙏🏼❤️ 🎶

Nurse was great, she made the whole experience simple and painless. Bittersweet and intense emotions in this moment though, I can’t wait to travel again, play live music, hug loved ones & get back to France, yet still deeply feeling all the losses we share.
Love to each and every one of you. Stay safe! If you can, please get vaccinated!

Voted! Early voting in NYC is phenomenal. Arrived 45 mins before polls opened & lines already blocks long, yet everyone patient & respectful. A special line for elders, free ‘pizza to the polls’, fantastic and generous! Inside was organized and smooth. Very proud of my city and fellow New Yorkers, the 3 hours I waited flew by.

I hope you’ll join me in thanking our poll workers, volunteering their time so that we can vote! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank YOU!!
