The Rise of Lene Marlin

Hailing from Tromsø, 17-year-old Norwegian songstress Lene Marlin broke records with her 1998 debut release, “Unforgivable Sinner”, the fastest-selling single in her country's history. With a lilting, angelic voice, Marlin puts an acoustic spin on pop that evokes contemporary American country music, while disarmingly plainspoken lyrics and reassuring melodies tap a vein of intense ‘00s nostalgia.
