Atlanta Ready to "Feel the Love" of Grammy Nominated R&B Songtress Lina

Atlanta ready to "Feel the Love" of Grammy nominated R&B songtress Lina. Live in concert at Underground's hotspot SugarHill ...

Grammy nominated R&B songbird Lina will perform live in concert from her latest CD "Morning Star". Music enthusiasts rave over Lina's jazzy, cool, sexy live performances, which pack lots of surprises, from a spine tingling rendition of A-Train that would make Ella proud, to her new feel-good stepper's anthem, "Feel The Love", known to cause a mad rush to the dance floor.

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, her delivery is 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.

A stunning beauty compared to the likes of Josephine Baker, Sade and Billie Holiday, her latest CD 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".

Lina's music gives what the people want, good vibes to which one can relate. Lina's live show delivers what industry insiders like to call an experience for the "grown and sexy". With Lina in town, Hotlanta is definitely about to get a little hotter.
