From an early age, Juilliard-trained violinist Christina Courtin held singing as a secret passion; but when she graduated she decided to run with it. Having made the rounds on the New York club scene for several years, the young songwriter is releasing her debut album today. She joins us to talk about it, and to play live in our studio.

She is the most amazing talent to come along in years. Christina is a breath of fresh air, with interpretive powers that reach beyond the tradition ho-hum singer songwriter. Congrats Nonesuch. Congrats Christina.
These comments are obviously from people who haven't seen her perform live. She has a beautiful voice, full of life and passion. I loved this piece!
y'all are some HATERS, word to mommy. she's a talented girl.. let her do her thing. i, for one, enjoyed the session.
She caught my ear right away. 'Reminds me of Melody Gardot a bit. I'd like to hear more.
I liked her. I enjoyed the mysterious quality of her voice. But then, I'm a fan of Nora Jones too.
Most hideously out-of-tune singing yet!!!!
Remember when singers could actually "sing"?
no, you're not the only one. it is completely void of any depth or interest. and we thought nora jones was boring? what the heck is she thinking? there is NO ENERGY, nothing, no color......nada.
it just sounds like someone sitting in their room at an early age, feeling sorry for themself!
my god, i can NOT believe a reputable label such as nonesuch supports her!
Am I the only one who finds her voice extremely irritating????
