If you haven’t heard of Tatiana Okupnik…that’s probably because she’s virtually unknown in the English speaking world…until now, that is. 2011 just may be the year that changes everything for this talented Polish singer/songwriter who is prepping for her UK debut on April 10th via Upside Records Tatiana‘s debut single, “Spider Web” is a stunning power pop ballad that serves as the perfect introduction to this talented artist from Eastern Europe. Produced by Tim Hutton (Amy Winehouse, Bat For Lashes) “Spider Web” has been remixed for it’s radio debut by Jeremy Wheatley (Leona Lewis, Duffy).
Growing up in Poland, Tatiana strayed away from typical teenage fare, gravitating more towards rock bands like Led Zeppelin and great vocalists like Chaka Khan, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner and Robert Plant. Starting out studying ballet, Tatiana eventually shifted her focus to music, joining the Polish band Blue Café, selling platinum records and touring all over central Europe. 2006 was a big year for Tatiana, who not only graduated from university that year but also became a solo artist, recording her debut album with jazz-funk legend Lenny White in New York City. The album, On My Own went Gold in Poland, proving that she didn’t need Blue Café to be a success.
Already a proven success in Poland, Tatiana now sets her sights on UK success as she gets ready to release her debut UK album, Spider Web, preceded by first single, the album’s title track. The album criss crosses a variety of genres – from funk and jazz to soul and rock. The common denomenator in each of the songs of course is Tatiana’s powerhouse vocals, which you can clearly hear throughout this first single. Check out the beautiful video for “Spider Web” below and get excited for dance remixes from 7th Heaven, Club Junkies and Bitesize. Don’t forget to download the single on April 10th.
