Whatever it takes (Lene Marlin) (LP 201 - 203)

Lene Marlin Another Day (CD - EMI, 2003) ****
Lene Marlin Lost In A Moment (CD - EMI, 2005) ****
Lene Marlin Twist The Truth (CD - EMI, 2009) ****

Genre: Scandinavian pop/rock 

Places I remember: Various music outlets in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi and Dubai  

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: What if (LIAM); Another Day (AD)







Gear costume: Everything else * because she's awesome!

Active compensatory factors:  I wrote a few blogposts back when I discovered Lene Marlin, the wonderfully talented Swedish singer/songwriter, while living in the Middle East. 

The one that mentions my reaction to Another Day stands up.  

Twist The Truth got a separate post as well.

That leaves Lost In A Moment. I love the ambiguity of that title.

It's a lovely mix of sophisticated pop (a more mature Playing My Game) with the introspection of Another Day (and before the starker Twist The Truth). 

* The remarkable thing about her records and her music is that there is not a duff song to be found anywhere. 

Four amazingly presented albums that are varied and display growth in her artistry. Lene never disappoints.

If you haven't yet been tempted to search her out by now you really don't like music and should stop reading my blogposts right now - go and do something else more worthwhile for you!

Where do they all belong? She has not released anything for the last 9 years. A real shame. We need you Lene!
