5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it from Amazon.de, December 20, 2004

If you planning on buying Another Day and Playing my game from Amazon, I suggest you get it from Amazon Germany (i.e. www.amazon.de). I just paid only Euro 14.00 for both of these albums. It is available as a double album from Amazon Germany. Great Deal. It would be a total of $39 USD including standard shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sweetest, most Beautiful voice ever!, February 22, 2000

By	Kevin (Britain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Playing My Game (Audio CD)

I just finished listening to this cd and its like, wow! After the awesome Sitting Down Here was released as a single, I had been dying to hear more of Lene's music. Thankfully, Virgin have granted her debut album a release here, in Britain. You know how most albums, after your initial listen, there are always one or two tracks you skip, or are not that fond of, well this is the first album since, probably Counting Crows' August and Everything After that I have loved all the way through. Lene's voice is sooo darn sweet and her lyrics just melt your heart. Most of the songs are kinda sad, about rejection or love gone bad or, in one case the death of a loved one. You just cant help but feel for the lovely singer. My fave tracks, after Sitting Down Here, of course, are Unforgivable Sinner, a slightly more rockier song, the title track, Flown Away, which is the kind of song that makes you wanna hug Ms Marlin, like to assure her that everything's gonna be okay and then there's A Place Nearby, listen to the lyrics, between Lene's voice and the piano, only the most cynical person wont be moved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Attractive 19 yr old Norwegian with angelic voice. A must ., October 31, 1999

This review is from: Playing My Game (Audio CD)

The 1st single "Unforgivable Sinner" reached the #1 position on the Norway music charts in March 1999 and she broke all Norway sales records for a single release by a debut artist. As of late 10/99 she has sold approximately 600,000 copies of this CD. She plays the guitar and sings with this soft feminine voice. Her songs have straight forward, down to earth lyrics. She just won all 4 catagories she was nominated in at the 9/99 Norway music awards. Most of her European success has been in Italy. She is definitely one artist who should be released in the U.S.A. The United states music industry seems more interested in creating an atmosphere instead of good music, but this singer offers both. I cant believe a U.S. record label hasn't jumped on this opportunity yet. I play this soothing CD at the beach and am constantly asked "Who is that?"
