 Hi guys :) First of all, here is a pic with Howard Jones! The mini-tour was fun, crazy and wonderful!!!
Secondly, I want to thank every one of you for supporting my music.
My new album, Modern Fairytale, wouldn't exist without your help and contributions, and my new video for HOPE wouldn't have happened without the beautiful images you sent me.
I just saw my first Ringo Starr concert, and was very inspired to get "a little help from my friends" (you :)) So here goes...
As you probably know, I don't have a giant PR machine behind me. It's just word of mouth. Yep! EVERY word counts and makes a big difference. And I mean BIG!!
So... if you're as proud of what we've accomplished together as I am, here are a few easy things you can do today to get my music out there. You can make all the difference.
Super huge Russian-American THANK YOU in advance :)))
- send these 2 free songs to a couple (or all!!) of your friends!!!
http://marinav.com/FREE/
(they can buy the rest of the songs on iTunes, amiestreet, etc)
- gift my album on iTunes to your friends (only $7.99 in US!!! that's pretty much a Starbucks latte)
- send a link to the HOPE video to your friends!!
http://www.youtube.com/marinavdotcom
- embed the HOPE video onto your myspace, facebook, etc - go to this page to get the code
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnlQdWQOdwc
- buy a CD on www.MarinaV.com for a friend - I'll sign it for them and will write their name in Russian!!! How many artists would do that for you? :)
- get active on our newly modified forum http://www.MarinaVKomrades.com (thanks to everyone who helped with the new forum!!! you know who you are!!!)
- organize a house concert (or a concert in your town). Check out http://www.marinav.com/houseconcert.html for more info
- have a friend who works in film/tv/music/radio industry? Introduce them to my music - you never know where a connection might lead!
- have a friend with a shop/yoga studio/restaurant? Maybe they'll play my CD there!
- any other suggestions? post them at http://www.MarinaVKomrades.com - see you there!!!!
You guys are amazing. Thank you again.
Hugs, Marina :)

Concert in L.A. + new "demos" CD!!!!
 Hi guys :) Today I learned that Elmo and Elmer Fudd (I thought it was Fudge) are two different things entirely. You live you learn, right? :)))
and... last week I attended the screening of "FALLEN IDOL: THE YURI GAGARIN CONSPIRACY" in Hollywood. I co-wrote the theme song (Gagarin March) with composer David Raiklen & I even helped conduct the choir during the recording of the march and I also sang some ethereal vocals for another song in the film. It's a very cool project & it was fun to be a part of it! The film is narrated by Elliott Gould (Ross & Monica Geller's dad, Friends, anyone?) :) Anyway, I'll let you know when this documentary officially comes out! L-R: David Raiklen, composer; Mathew Edwardsen, tenor; Dr. Elliott Haimoff, the producer of the film; Marina V, singer/songwriter/crazy Russian; Elliott Gould, actor & the narrator of the documentary.
FOR BIG FANS ONLY: I have a new VERY fun CD for you.
CD with early versions/demos of songs from "Modern Fairytale" & my early childhood recordings!!! AND.... instrumental versions of songs from "Modern Fairytale"! 21 total tracks. $20
to order the cd, email me at marina [at] marinav [dot] com and I'll send you the link to buy the cd.
Concert schedule below. Thank you for all of the support! Russian-American hugs, Marina :)))

Download my song for free!!!! :) Yes, very free! :)
Hi guys!!! Now you can go to myspace.com/MarinaV and download my song, The Strength I Need, for free!!!
I am so proud of my new album, Modern Fairytale, and I hope you will enjoy this song. Hugs to all, Marina :) www.MarinaV.com
P.S. "The Strength I Need" is about hoping that you will find it within you to deal with whatever this crazy life brings you.
THE STRENGTH I NEED
So I tried, didn't win
Everything that could've gone wrong
surely did
Take me home, lay me down
Give me time to get my feet back on the ground
And when I feel I'm breaking down
When my soul loses feeling
When there's no one else around
and there's no one to heal me
Will I be the strength I need
So I cried, took it hard
Found my dreams are still alive
But torn apart…
Let me search, let me find
Let me mend it all together in my mind
And the time stands still
And the time stands still
And I'm feeling things I thought I'd never feel
And the time stands still
And my days are long
But I'll be strong, I'll be strong, I'll be strong..
And when all I see is doubt
When words lose all meaning
When my screams have lost their sound
And there's no one…
Will I be the strength I need
Hope I'll be the strength I need
I will be
The strength I need
Many thanks to my wonderful co-writer Nick Baker & to our producer, Alex Kharlamov!!!

Kodak Theatre, CD sale & surgery update!!!
Wow, thank you VERY much for such a heart-warming response to my vicodin-induced email about my Xmas emergency gallbladder surgery in Illinois. I felt all of your positivity coming my way, you made me heal faster! Thank you!!!!!!
Why did I have a gallbladder problem? Doctors don't quite know. I'm in my 20s, I eat healthy food (with an occasional delicious dessert) & I exercise. So, moral of the story: eat buckets of ice cream & sit on the couch - gallbladder craziness will happen anyway! :) Just kidding. Be good!!!!
Many of you asked if I needed help with bills & such, thank you from the bottom of my heart! You can always help an artist by buying CDs for yourself or for friends!! :)
