LONG AWAITED DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE VOICE OF
PINK MARTINI - FRESH FROM THEIR SELL OUT TOUR!
Fresh from a highly successful Australian tour, the voice of PINK MARTINI, CHINA FORBES is set to release her solo debut album; ‘'78'. The Critically-acclaimed vocalist finally unveils a project dear to her heart, ‘'78' has been in the works for several years, and marks a stylistic departure from Pink Martini yet a return to her own roots for the much herald vocalist and wordsmith provocateur whose work with Pink Martini has sold nearly two million records worldwide.
THE NEW YORK TIMES "An unpretentious pitch-perfect chanteuse."
Written entirely by China, '78 is a stirring mixture of alt country, rock and folk all mixed in, ‘78 is a passionate, highly personal song cycle filled with intimate stories of love, loneliness, friendship and alienation. Recorded in the singer's now-hometown of Portland, Oregon produced by the renowned GREGG WILLIAMS (SHERYL CROW, THE WALLFLOWERS, DANDY WARHOLS) and backed by Williams on drums and multi-instrumentalist ERIC EARLEY (BLITZEN TRAPPER) with cameos by ERIC MATTHEWS and Pink Martini band mate PHIL BAKER, ‘78 features Forbes on an array of instruments including guitar, piano, bass, harmonium and Wurlitzer. The result is a wonderfully-crafted, original and brilliant solo CD-one that only Forbes could create.
"I set aside a budding career as a singer-songwriter to join Pink Martini," says China, "and while I love my quirky, wonderful life in the band, I could no longer suppress the personal songwriting that has always been a vital part of my life."
Pink Martini is HUGELY successful in Australia so there will be many fans looking for this release and many more will pick it up when they see it profiled.
