Journalist Craig Havighurst of String Theory Media wrote this about Natasha’s performance:
“Natasha Borzilova is a fascinating young artist. Russian-born and a veteran of some serious touring and attention as part of Bering Strait, she writes songs that defy conventions and turn unexpected corners. And if that doesn’t keep your attention, her big round and expressive voice will. “Balancing Act” was a highlight.”
Below is a video clip of Natasha performing the title track to her first solo release “Cheap Escape”. She wrote the song with label mate Donna Ulisse.
