However, one musician who heard her work and was impressed was Herbie Hancock. He was looking for a vocalist to join with his band as he was touring to support The Joni Letters. Train joined him and toured for two years as a vocalist and violin player. This gave Train an opportunity to gain a broader musical education, and by the time she went to record Dark Black Train knew what she wanted to record, or as she said "after two years on the road with Herbie Hancock, I had a very, very clear vision of what I wanted to do musically."[7] Many of the songs on the album are personal, telling tales of heartbreak and loss, although some sunny songs such as "I Wanna Live in LA" crept into the mix.[8][9] Two singles have been released from Dark Black; "Dream of Me" and "Lose You Tonight".

Springsteen compared her to Dusty Springfield. Springsteen even gave her a text on her birthday, and mentioned that her album was one of the albums on his permanent playlist at the time.[13][7][14] References1. ^1 {{cite AV media notes |title=Dark Black |others=Kristina Train |year=2012 |type=CD liner |publisher=Mercury Records |id=3711587 |location=European Union}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2190283/Kristina-Train-releases-video-upcoming-single-Dream-Me.html |title=Soulful, rich and expressive: Kristina Train releases the video for her upcoming single Dream of Me |work=Daily Mail |date=August 18, 2012 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=McCormack, Kirsty}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/177007/9 |title=Kristina Train Unveils Video For New Single 'Lose You Tonight' - Watch Now |work=Stereoboard.com |date=January 24, 2013 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=Stickler, Jon}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008GRKRNO/ref=dm_dp_cdp?ie=UTF8&s=music |website=Amazon.co.uk |title=Dark Black: Kristina Train |accessdate=February 1, 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.purplerevolver.com/music/open-mic/122799-introducing-kristina-train-debut-album-dark-black-set-for-november-release.html |title=Introducing Kristina Train-Debut album Dark Black set for November release |work=Purple Revolver |date=October 3, 2012 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=McNatty, Camilla}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/2pwx |title=Kristina Train Dark Black Review |work=BBC Music Reviews |date=November 16, 2012 |accessdate=February 1, 2013 |author=Aizlewood, John}} 7. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.connectsavannah.com/savannah/smf-kristina-train/Content?oid=2372546 |title=SMF: Kristina Train |work=Connect Savannah |date=March 26, 2014 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=DeYoung, Bill}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/celebrity-news/kristina-train-the-singer-you-should-know-129874 |title=Today we can’t stop listening to: Kristina Train |work=Marie Claire |date=February 22, 2013 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=Potter, Lisa}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/arts_ents/13079906.Kristina_Train__Dark_Black__Mercury_/ |title=Kristina Train, Dark Black (Mercury) |work=The Herald |date=November 6, 2012 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=Morrison, Alan}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/dark-black-mw0002417315 |website=AllMusic |title=Dark Black - Kristina Train |accessdate=February 1, 2013}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.redonline.co.uk/reviews/music-reviews/kristina-train-dark-black-review |title=Kristina Train - Dark Black Review |work=Red |date=November 2, 2012 |accessdate=April 6, 2017}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/10-new-artists-you-need-to-know-may-2014-20140514/kristina-train-0630708 |title=10 New Artists You Need to Know: May 2014 |work=Rolling Stone |date=May 14, 2014 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=Fischer, Reed}} 13. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2014/01/14/262485987/a-long-road-to-high-hopes-an-interview-with-bruce-springsteen |title=A Long Road To 'High Hopes': An Interview With Bruce Springsteen |work=NPR Music |date=January 15, 2014 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=Powers, Ann}} 14. ^{{cite web |url=https://melaniebowdensimon.com/2014/04/04/kristina-train-talks-about-her-new-album-why-shes-singing-in-spanish-and-those-texts-with-bruce-springsteen/ |title=Kristina Train Talks About Her New Album, Why She's Singing In Spanish And Those Texts With Bruce Springsteen |website=MelanieBowdenSimon |date=April 4, 2014 |accessdate=April 6, 2017 |author=Bowden-Simon, Melanie}} External links
