Lene Marlin

Norweigen singer/songwriter in the acoustic vein. Difficult to make comparisons, she's somewhere near Jewel and Jill Sobule, but in a class of her own at just 19. Grammy nominated single "Unforgivable Sinner" missed in the UK, but her second, the infectiously catchy "Sitting Down Here" charted after heavy rotation on music television. Both singles and parent album Playing My Game hit the top spot in Norway where Marlin gained four gongs at the local awards including Artist of the Year. ~ Kelvin Hayes, Rovi
