Lina Interview: Getting Signed, "Stranger On Earth" Album, Hit Song "Smooth", Industry Journey

We recently caught up with Lina for an interview on Instagram Live. During our conversation, we touched on how she originally got signed to Atlantic Records, her debut album "Stranger on Earth", her unique soul/swing/jazz style, writing for Tyrese, her second album "The Inner Beauty Movemet", and much more.

I love her music. What a classic talent

really awesome interview, such an underrated artist but for those that know they KNOW! such a beautiful and unique timbre. her debut is a production masterpiece and i miss the futurism of the late 90s/early 00s; something about it was more inspired imo.

The way I used to listen to Stranger on Earth. I discovered the second album while I was looking for her music online. However Lina music seemed so hard to find online. I was lucky that I still had my physical copy.

Does she have an IG?! I swear Stranger On Earth was sooooo ahead of its time. Good quality, beautiful blends of jazz, big band, neo-soul, Rnb. And that voice was just 👌🏾… And the way I found out about her was, I believe her uncle (or some family member of hers) gave us her CD while we were at church. He said something about his niece (I wanna say niece) being in LA and out with an album. I remember that colorful cover and everything. Thought it was so fly… that purple dress and purple head wrap. Beautiful. Still play her album.

KZbin is mis-crediting her music to "Lina Sanden", on the official KZbin artists' channels. How is this musician not more famous? Good God.

I wonder why she does not have even her own KZbin channel. She is so talented.
