Trine Rein

Trine Rein has an interesting cross-border story that I find appealing. Born in San Francisco in 1970, she became an American-Norwegian singer who broke through in Norway, winning the Spellemannprisen for best new act in 1993. Her album sales eventually topped a million records, which tells me she connected with listeners far beyond a single hit. I like artists who plant roots in a country not their birthplace and still resonate. To me she comes across as a pop voice who found her real audience across the Atlantic and made it count.
