Vanja Sky – Reborn

Vanja Sky is Croatia's answer to Sheryl Crow and Norah Jones. An artistic career couldn't develop much faster: Five years after learning to play the guitar, Vanja recorded her debut album with renowned artists from the international blues scene. Quickly, a highly successful follow-up work titled "Woman Named Trouble" was released. Now it's time for the release of her third album, "Reborn". While the blues was originally the spark for the young pastry chef, she has since embraced rock without neglecting her blues roots. The album represents a significant evolution of her own musical personality. The title "reborn" signifies a fresh start, a rebirth, a new beginning. As such, the album features two images of Vanja Sky, one from her childhood and another current photograph. Among the ten songs, there are eight newly written songs and two cover versions of legendary rock titles, featuring special guests who are members of the respective original bands. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the song "I'd Love To Change The World," Vanja spontaneously invited Ric Lee, drummer, Woodstock legend, and founding member of Ten Years After, to the studio to re-record the track with him. Continuing her tribute to Rory Gallagher, which has become a tradition, Vanja includes another song on "reborn." In the new recording of "I Take What I Want," none other than Garry McAvoy takes on the bass part. He played alongside Rory Gallagher for over 20 years. Another highlight of the new album is a duet with Carl Sentance, the current singer of arguably the most successful Scottish hard rock band, Nazareth, and the vocalist for Deep Purple keyboardist Don Airey's solo project. The title "Muha" refers to the transience of life and the appreciation we should develop for what we have here and now. The inspiration for the new song came from the unexpected death of a colleague close to Vanja in the music scene
