Recorded in 2007 with producer Mike Watts (As Tall as Lions, Hopesfall, Junior Varsity) at Vudu Studios (Freeport, NY), "This Machine” began not only as just another album, but more of a challenge to bring to light what Eva had left on the back burner for so long. Co-written with friend and long time writing partner Brian Lupo "This Machine" revisits some of her earlier "unreleased" songs, but has a constant reminder throughout the album of a somber yet uplifting journey in which she has traveled throughout the making of "This Machine". Now with a solid foundation and newfound confidence, Eva has proven herself not only as an experienced vocalist, but a seasoned songwriter as well. As well as writing and recording her own music, Eva has also recorded guest vocals with bands such as
(Independent) and
(Victory Records).

CD Review- Eva Adalai “This Machine”
Who: Eva Adalai is a young vocalist and original songwriter from Long Island.
What: Fitting in perfectly as a singer/songwriter with a hint of alt rock in her style, Adalai’s project isn’t a demo in the least; this is one of the finest overall solo works we’ve been lucky enough to partake of in years. It’s superior in both performance and sound to virtually everything we hear. This album is so not long Island it’s frightening: There’s expert mannered playing and arrangements that actually fit the lyrics instead of pure showing off; it’s what some would refer to as “taste”.
This is one of those rare moments when it’s obvious that this artists release is her career high point. Adalai is no Ingénue; she’s recorded two solo albums and was a vocalist in another area band as well. However with the solid production of Vudu Studio’s Mike Watts buoying her efforts –a producer and engineer with literally dozens of national credits on his resume- Adalai has fashioned an overall album of breathtaking depth and real emotional power. Fans of anyone from Norah Jones to today’s top emo and alt band will find this a worthy companion to those national acts. We can’t state this strongly enough: This stunning piece of work is one of the five best albums ever to be featured in Demolition.

"Eva's voice is fueled by awareness and empowerment, making her lyrics resonate more as an exercise in self-discovery rather than self-indulgence."
