EDITOR'S NOTE: Cristina Vane is No Depression's Spotlight artist for February 2025. Read more about her and her new album, Hear My Call, out Feb. 21, in this feature and keep an eye out for more all month long.
Singer/songwriter Cristina Vane’s wanderlust runs deep through her music, starting with her 2021 album, Nowhere Sounds Lovely. Then on 2022’s Make Myself Me Again, she set out on a journey of self-reflection, culminating in her latest album, Hear My Call.
Vane was born in Italy to a Sicilian-American father and a Guatemalan mother. Because her upbringing took her to many places in Europe, she struggled for years to identify with one place. On Hear My Call (out Feb. 21), she uses a blend of string band and blues trio arrangements to look back at her formative years and reclaim pride in her many cultural identities, something she explores in depth on the rock anthem “Little Girl From Nowhere.”
