“Graveyard Blues – Artist Vision” sees Orshina returning to ground that she’s been there before, but with a renewed sense of power and freedom. It was released on 4th November 2026 and is a reworking of a piece from the ‘Requiem for Nova’ album. Rather than just rehashing it, it’s a version which has been given a more powerful life in the light of a different creative approach. It’s a version which has the freedom to be itself.

Guitar is absolutely central to this version of the piece. Orshina describes the performance as being absolutely ‘like a lion going after its meal’ in terms of the ferocity of it. Having been quite defeated by the situation with the album previously, this is a version which is very much the product of a renewed confidence. The guitar is the vehicle through which that confidence is expressed and it’s the dominant feature of the piece.

Recorded in Orshina’s own studio, “Graveyard Blues – Artist Vision” is a very much a case of old school aesthetic meeting modern production. There’s a very interesting interplay between the old and the new in that. The link to “Requiem for Nova’ is obviously still there but the decision to go back to it with a bit more force allows it to stand on its own as a piece of music. You’ve got the familiar base but it’s a much stronger performance.

There’s a real sense of personal redemption in this release in terms of the contrast between the vulnerability of the previous album and the confidence of this one. Music is the medium through which you can express things that words simply can’t do and that’s exactly what Orshina is getting at with “no words just my guitar gently weeps”. “Graveyard Blues – Artist Vision” is very much a statement of artistic liberation and the way in which going back to an old song can be the catalyst for a much more confident and personal expression.
