LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Debouche Ent./ www.lina-music.com) - Creator and Executive Producer Don Cornelius, invited LINA, Hidden Beach artist, to debut her first single, 'Come To Mama' on his nationally syndicated television show, Soul Train. The episode will be aired November 6, 2004. (Check your local listing for times.)
LINA proves to be a singer/songwriter who has set out to revolutionize music with her hybridity of jazz, swing, R & B and just the right amount of pop. This songbird veers from the mass-produced recordings and mundane lyrics that often jam the airwaves. Her persona is provocative yet edgy, soulful and flirtatious.
LINA's sophomore project, "Inner Beauty," will be released 1ST Quarter 2005 on Hidden Beach Recordings/Sony, all ready home to Jill Scott, Kindred-The Family Soul,
Mike Phillips and
Darius Rucker. The audience can expect to hear her signature sound, and will be mesmerized by the album's artistic lyrics which are displayed with it's first single, "Come To Mama" and her follow up show performance, 'Hope, Wish and Pray.'
'We are very proud to have LINA join our family," says HBR Founder Steve McKeever. "She has a one-of-a-kind sound and presence that resonates with a broad range of music fans. Her commitment to quality and originality is a perfect fit for Hidden Beach."
LINA first unleashed this distinctive style with her debut album, "Stranger on Earth" (Atlantic Records). Billboard raves, "LINA possesses a timeless combination of laid-back Southern warmth, introspection, spirituality, and a penchant for things jazzy and classy."
