Recorded while pregnant with her only child, Laura Nyro s seventh LP, Nested, is an unabashedly feminist and feminine work of laid-back, springtime bliss.
Vistas Media Capital, which recently launched its North American division, today announced that it is developing and producing a feature documentary about Laura Nyro, the gifted and influential singer/songwriter that burst on the scene in the late 1960s while still a teenager, and who effectively rejected the demands of superstardom in her 20s and pursued a life of activism for women's rights and the environment.

She effectively rejected the demands of superstardom in her 20s and pursued a life of activism for women's rights and the environment. She was David Geffen's first client before Clive Davis signed her to Columbia Records. Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and other artists have credited her as being a major influence on their songwriting. She died of ovarian cancer at age 49 in 1997, but remains an enduring icon of the feminist movement, with passionate fans of her music and art throughout the world.
