Lene Marlin Playing My Game (CD - Virgin, 1999) ***
Genre: Norwegian pop/ rock
Places I remember: Virgin Megastore Dubai Mall.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Sitting Down Here
Gear costume: Unforgivable Sinner
Active compensatory factors: I started my Lene Marlin obsession via a sampler. Sitting Down Here was a crazily effective ditty. It got into my brain and wouldn't let go. In a nice way.
Lene's whole sound is a superb mix of pop hooks, Scandinavian mystery and appropriate beats.
It's catchy as all get out.
Taylor Swift was certainly one person who was listening and watching closely!
I can just imagine a preteen Tay Tay picking up on what Lene was doing!
Where do they all belong? Debut album in a stellar career. Another Day is next. No difficult second album syndrome for Lene.
