Origa was born Ольга Витальевна Яковлева or Olga Vitalevna Yakovleva in southwestern Siberia when it was under the control of The Soviet Union. She built her career in Japan, and as a result most songs are in Japanese. A fair few are in Russian, and while English does show up in a few, so does Latin. Like most people who have stumbled across her work, I found her because she came to prominance through the songs she produced for the Ghost in the Shell anime series.
I think she had an amazing voice. Sadly, she passed away in 2015 at the age 44 after a two year battle with lung cancer.
This is "Yurikago No Kioku" ("By My Cradle") by Origa from her 1995 album Illusia.
