Lina Returns with her critically acclaimed signature sound a mix of Alternative, Soul, Swing, and R-n-B.

notes

Hard to categorize, Lina's sound crosses several music genres including Jazz, R&B, Hip-hop, Gospel and Pop. A lyricist, Lina's depth puts you in the mind of Lauren Hill or Mos Def. A musician's musician, who sings in eight languages, Lina writes all her songs. Her delivery is sometimes reminiscent of jazz great Billie Holiday. Her artsy, funky style reminds you of Erykah Badu or Jill Scott. Her out-of-the-box-hard-to-label persona is on the level of a Macy Gray. But she's an original. Her sound is fresh and in its own lane.

Morning Star delivers an easy-to-listen-to treasure of music that satisfies track after track. Personal anthems can be found in this artwork, including "Wake Up" and "Breakthrough". Broken heart therapy in the track "Good Day". And fun dance cuts like "Feel The Love". Morning Star gives what the people want, good vibes to which one can relate; it's a hit.

  • Lina never disappoints!!!

    I fell in love with Lina's music when I picked up her first CD Stranger on Earth. Then came Inner Beauty and I knew I was going to be a HUGE fan. I just got Morning Star about a week ago and it is now on repeat. I am just crushed that I missed her when she was here live in ATL!!! My only wish is that she get the recognition she deserves. She is a refreshing voice in this day and age of cookie cutter pop & r&b.

    This cd is JAMMIN. I love her soft songbird voice. And you can't help but love her message. Her style is soulful yet ecclectic. Her "INNER BEAUTY " and light shows in her words. Athough I have her 1st cd I was prompted to buy the cd after hearing her on a chicago radio station and I'm glad I did. Keep up the great work Lina and you'll always have a fan in me. Music was dying but artists like you is keeping it alive.

  • Album of the year
    author: Steve Carson

    I bought Lina's first album (UK Version) way back in 2001 without knowing who she was or what she sang just because of the review on the front of the CD which said "2001's R&B sensation". I was not disappointed and subsequently bought the US version followed by Save your soul & Inner Beauty. I have been eagerly waiting for Morning Star to be released and couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. "2001's R&B sensation"? I would say "This decade's R&B sensation"! It just doesn't get any better than this. FEEL THE LOVE!!

  • A talent struggling to be heard
    author: Paul Barr

    I've been a fan of Lina since 2001 when I bought Stranger On Earth...then again when the US edition came out with new cover and new tracks, a nice surprise 4 years later when I saw The Inner Beauty Movement was released, a solid follow-up offering a slightly updated feel to the 1920's/30's jazz-fuelled debut - but still keeping that unique sound....fast forward to 2008 and I happened to be browsing myspace and thought it was time for Lina to grace us with album #3. I INSTANTLY fell in love with "Feel The Love" and must've played the song 100 times - wishing a physical CD was on it's way - Morning Star is here and it didn't disappoint this fan, it angers me how there are many singers being so successful (which is deserved..some less so) but they don't write their own material - Lina does and talent like hers deserves much success, I'm sure she will with this, what goes around comes around. FAVE TRACKS Feel The Love Between Us Everyday Piano Wake Up Good Day BUY!!!!

  • Buy this and buy copies for your friends!

    Lina's Morning Star CD is absolutely wonderful. I'm going to buy copies for my friends. I own all three of her CDs and they each have gotten increasingly better. I really thought that nothing could top the Inner Beauty Movement - I LOVE every song on that CD! Morning Star is wonderful! It's not the same which is great...Lina is still ture to her style, but the songs sound more diverse. And I LOVE Glory with Dave Hollister. Hello??? Thank God for Lina doing a gospel song in a very non-traditional way, and it's good. It's hard to pick a favorite on this CD but I have to mention some of the highlights for me: * I'll Stick Around * Joy * Feel the Love * Everyday * Glory * Thru the Fire Okay, if I don't stop I'll list the entire CD. I love every song just like how I felt listening to the Inner Beauty Movement. Pick this CD up asap!

  • Brilliant!
    author: Gary Fantie

    I really thought it was going to be hard to top inner beauty movement, but this 3rd Album from lina is excellent, keeping to her own distinctive style,lyrically and musically. It would be a crime not to buy this Album. So far my best of 2008.Having all her Album's it's great to see an artist grow without abandoning what made them unique at the start.She really deserves to sell in the millions, especially considering the rubbish that gets radioplay at the moment. buy,BUY,BUY, you will not be disappointed!!

  • Fantastic Album
    author: Sactownbull

    As much as I love The Inner Beauty Movement, I have to say Morning Star is twice as good. Solid from start to finish, this album has 4 or 5 very strong single type tracks. I say type because most radio stations won't even think about playing them. Damn shame artist like Badu get all the hype and play while a brilliant talent like Lina has to hustle for every CD sold. I hope she knows there are still true R&B fans out there that love and appreciate her music. Do yourself and pick this album up. I promise you won't be disappointed.
