Julia Vorontsova - From St. Petersburg With Love

Abaton Book Company is pleased to announce the release of "From St. Petersburg With Love", the debut CD by Russian singer/songwriter Julia Vorontsova. 21-year old Julia Vorontsova is the most recent link to the underground bards of the Soviet era. She sings melancholic ballads, all in her native tongue, with an otherwordly voice that is remisniscent of Brigitte Fontaine and Ewa Demarczyck. Vorontsova-s guitar alternates between minimal finger picking and a bouncier, more casual strumming. Her imaginative compositions run the gamut from trncated pop vignettes to somber elegies and are delivered, alternately, with exuberance and despair.
This release will be of interest to pop, folk and world music lovers.
