SONJA KRISTINA ~ SONJA KRISTINA MARKET SQUARE 140 (Barcode: 5030094123427) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 1980 - 1985 Released: 2006 Following the demise of the legendary band Curved AirFind albums by this artist in 1976, their soloist Sonja KristinaFind albums by this artist continued her career as a solo artist, with a few attempted Curved Air reunions over the years. This, her eponymous first solo album, which was recorded with her band EscapeFind albums by this artist, proves that she lost none of her vitality over the years and her magical and unique voice was still at full bloom. Accompanied by a great group of musicians, including her Curved Air partner violinist Darryl WayFind albums by this artist (who at the time was leading his group WolfFind albums by this artist), she delivers a splendid set of songs, some of which include her lyrics. Although the album suffers slightly from the dreadful 1980s production standards, this can be easily put aside in view of her magnetic presence. The bonus tracks are especially interesting, as they include the only single (A/B) recorded by the 1984 Curved Air reunion called “Renegade” and an ultra rare Kristina single from 1985, recorded with the band TunisFind albums by this artist. The album is a must have for all Curved Air fans and all people who are mesmerized by Kristina’s unique vocal delivery.
