Every so often an artist comes along and changes the way you think about the world. In 2013 American Palestinian Lina soared to victory on the second season of The Voice of Israel, prompting a response from the international press.
Having lived in Israel from a young age, the Arab Christian admits that she had never considered how her winning a talent competition could be so monumental in opening the eyes of millions around the world to the humbling fact that people are just people.
The aftermath of her win has been a real whirlwind. Having signed a management deal with Irit TenHengel, she released her debut single ‘This Ain’t About You’ to critical acclaim peaking in the Top 10 of both Music Week’s Club and Pop Charts. It was followed by the equally impressive Dance Sucker, which secured a #4 position on Music Week’s Club Chart.
As 2017 gets into gear, Lina has co-written with a veritable who’s who of pop writers to put the finishing touches to her debut album.
Heading up charge is the irrepressible ‘Can’t Keep Falling’, which was co-penned with Brit Award nominee Maegan Cottone. An explosive pop anthem, ‘Can’t Keep Falling’ is the perfect marriage of the musical worlds she flawlessly marries. With American, European and Arabic influences, ‘Can’t Keep Falling’ dissects a relationship with an addictive hook that sees Lina aligned with the most playful of pop divas today.
