In 2002, Masha Qrella released her first solo album entitled Luck and thus emerged as a singer-songwriter. After two more albums, among them Speak Low, a collection of beautifully rendered Kurt Weill and Frederick Loewe cover songs released in 2009, Masha is about to drop a new album entitled Analogies in May 2012 – essentially her take on pop music, sitting perfectly between folk, indie rock, and the huge radio anthems from decades past.
