hi hi hi guys!!

Today my album MY STAR is officially released on iTunes and every digital outlet worldwide!!!

It's a big day for me, and I feel excited and emotional releasing MY STAR to the world. Every song holds a special place in my heart and I can't wait for you guys to hear the whole album.

This album is a collection of songs about my life. Big surprise there, haha! :) But seriously, I think by now you know that I always write from my heart and from what I've lived through and have felt.

I have songs about trying to "fit in" and to find yourself ("Unbalanced") and songs like "Killing My Dream" (inspired by my first boyfriend back in High School, who left me for a prettier, thinner girl).

Songs about giving all of yourself to someone you love ("Thursday Song" and "My Star") and songs about desperately wanting to be loved ("Blue For You")..

You can read all of the lyrics here (or buy the digital booklet on iTunes)..


Most of you already have the free mp3 of the first song on the album, "You Make Me Beautiful" (as recently heard on the CBS hit drama The Good Wife).

Pretty please take a second to rate my album and leave a cute little review on iTunes or your favorite online store, just search for Marina V. Your review might bring new listeners to my music!! Your support and word of mouth makes a huge huge huge difference!

If you are on Facebook, or Ping, or whatever cool social network you're on - please post about the album! You can lead your friends to www.MarinaV.com to get a $10 physical copy (signed, hugged & kissed) or to get a digital download for only $6.99 at any digital store!!

Nick & I worked so hard on this album, and put lots and lots of love (and many months) into making it.

 

A few notes about this album:

 

- MY STAR is produced by the amazing Guy Erez (Gipsy Kings, Ryan Cabrera, etc)

 

- MY STAR features super cool guest musician friends of mine: Bruce Kulick (KISS, Grand Funk Railroad) and Ryan Hoyle (Collective Soul).

- we have a cool cover of the GUNS N ROSES smash hit "Don't Cry" and also an a cappella Russian traditional song that I grew up singing as a child.

- MY STAR was sponsored entirely by my awesome komrades!!
