“Murder Mystery” by Nina Storey – a song based on The Crime Writer
So one of my readers – who incidentally has become my favorite LA singer – wrote a song based on The Crime Writer/I See You called “Murder Mystery” – top link. I have to say, listening to it ranks up there as one of the coolest things to happen to me this year. She really gets the book and delves into the themes and dark undercurrents, while also putting them on their ear and making a whimsical love song. So people, welcome to the music stylings of the fabulous Nina Storey. Check her tour schedule – she’s got some NY dates coming up, and always lots of LA. She’s a great talent, an old-fashioned torch singer, blues artist, or jazz singer, and her voice is versatile and startling. My favorite song (before “Murder Mystery”) is a number called “This Naked Woman” – video here – one of the steamiest songs to fog up the car windows in some time. I met Nina at a “wake” for Brian Azzarello’s 100 Bullets at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. She started singing at the party and within a few moments, the party had completely silenced, enraptured by her voice.
