Review

Marina Belica, singer/songwriter/keyboardist and co-founder of the critically acclaimed band October Project, has released her solo debut, a 5 song EP entitled “decembergirl.” The CD, which features a 3D cover and 3D glasses inside, is released on her own imprint (Decembergirl Records) and includes three original compositions, a reinterpretation of the October Project song “Return to Me,” (for which she reunited most of the original band) and a holiday bonus track.

Marina worked with four New York area producers in the making of “decembergirl”: Joy Askew (“When You Go”); Emil Adler (“Return to Me”), co-founder and band-leader of October Project; Jim Chapdelaine (“The Wheel”), producer and guitarist for Feathermerchants; and Chris Cunningham (“Come With Me” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”), who has performed on guitar with Mary Ann Faithful, Lori Carson and Marshall Crenshaw, among many others.

“When You Go,” the propulsive first track on the CD, features Celtic harp and cello in a song that deals with the difficulty of letting go of a relationship.

The second track, “Return To Me,” is a reinterpretation of October Project's second single, with lyricist Julie Flanders singing the harmony lines originally sung by Marina.

Track three, “The Wheel,” co-written by Marina and singer/songwriter Dana Pomfret, is a look at the repetitive wheel of life. French bassist Francois Moutin and gospel singer Deborah Newallo appear on the track along with Jon Peckman (drums) and Jim Chapdelaine (co-producer, guitars) from Feathermerchants.

The cinematic fourth track, “Come With Me,” which is arranged for tympani, cello, upright bass, and grand piano, especially showcases the expressive trumpet of Randy Brecker.

The CD closes with the holiday song, “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” a plaintive and contemplative piece that dates from the ninth century. An instrumental section features the Two Siberians, a dynamic electric violin and guitar duo from Irkutsk, Russia.
