So far, Oksana Grigorieva’s only claim to fame was being Mel Gibson’s girlfriend and mother of his unborn child. Although she is known to be a pianist and a singer, the public has not had a chance to experience her musical chops as yet.
The Russian born singer hopes that the release of her first single, “Say My Name,” from her forthcoming album, Beautiful Heartbreak will change all that for good.
Grigorieva has written the song ‘Say My Name’ in collaboration with none other than Gibson himself. “It is the first and one of the simplest songs on the album, but also one of the most intimate,” says Grigorieva, whose baby with Gibson, 53, is due in late fall. “It is naked, intimate, raw emotion, little more than piano and voice as if it is a cry from the soul.” All other songs on the album are written by Grigorieva herself.
Grigorieva, 39, hails from Saransk, Russia, and is pregnant with the child of Mel Gibson, 53. She is also signed to Gibson’s record label, Icon Records. Grigorieva first stepped out with the Oscar-winning filmmaker at a Los Angeles screening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine on April 28. This happened only two weeks after Gibson’s wife Robyn filed for divorce. Gibson has said publicly that he and Robyn have been separated for more than three years. He also announced the pregnancy on the May 25 Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
