Amazon.co.uk Review
As misery goes, bruised Norwegian belle Lene Marlin is no Leonard Cohen. However, it's safe to assume that her third album Lost In A Moment is not intended for seekers of unfettered happiness nor is it an album intended for those fortunate enough to remain unblemished by uncomplicated lovelives. But Lost In A Moment is still a pop record, albeit one perhaps intended to soundtrack the emotional kickback of first true love scorned.

Like Dido, Marlin's songs of chick-lit disappointment beat with a commercial heart; "What If" and "How Would It Be" are certain winners in the radio play department. A light melodic touch and a silky production skills pervades but despite the satisfaction of selling 1.8 million copies of her debut album, Marlin remains a maudlin young lady whose pleasantly uncomplicated tunes--think The Cranberries--are rife with apology, separation anxiety and sundry other lovelorn ponderings. Fame, then, will not change her credo. And on the evidence of such sterling work as "Hope You’re Happy" (which sounds like a greetings card from someone with an axe to grind) and "Never To Know" (a grim cello and talk of loneliness and self-harm) Marlin is thinking with her head and her heart rather than with her bank statement. And for that she should be admired. --Kevin Maidment

Customer Reviews

Both The Album Of Her Career And The Album Of The Year
This album provides further proof of Lene Marlin's talent as an established songwriter and is arguably her best work to date. It's shocking to think that this incredibly gifted artist has recieved such little exposure on this side of the world baring in mind the quality of albums like this. Indeed this Cd holds up from start to finish with quality all the way from start to finish. Lene's soft vocals and flowing melodies are at times sweet yet also chilling. It's hard to single out individual songs for particular praise on this album however the haunting ballads Hope You're Happy, It's True, and Leave My Mind are stunning while the more upbeat sound of How Would It Be and What If also pack a punch. If you like Dido, Sarah Maclachan, Natasha Bedingfield etc. you'll like this and if you like good pop music that is real and that is not manufactured you'll LOVE this. Without doubt the album of the year.

The album of the year
It's been 2 years since Lene Marlin's last album, Another Day...it's been a long wait but this CD has been worth waiting for. I listened to this album 3 times on the first day of it's release, becoming immediately hooked after the first listen. Standout tracks are My Lucky Day, How Would It Be, Never To Know and Eyes Closed. If you like Lene's first two albums, Playing My Game and Another Day, you'll love this.

Another top album
Nothing but 5 star reviews says it all - and they aren't wrong.

Perhaps a bit more upbeat than previous albums, but very much the same style of music. If you liked either of the previous albums you'll love this one, and if this is the first you get be prepared to want the others.
