The following transcript was made from a radio interview Lene most likely did in Italy on May 15, 2009. The audio source was located by staff member cri over at lene.it, a huge thanks to her!

Lene discusses "Twist The Truth" at Radio105 Italy

(Published by Radio105, July 20, 2009)

Host: Lene Marlin! Hi! Long time, no see?

Lene: Hello! It's always a long time between albums for me!

Host: I know! (laughter) Why? It's like a rule you have?

Lene: No, you work on the album, that takes a few months, perhaps up to a year. And then you take some time off. And then you need to feel inspired again, you know, to get back to work.

Host: Are you still based in your own country?

Lene: I'm based in Norway, yes!

There are not many things going on in the way of Lene Marlin news these days. Here is another review of Lene's latest album that, unfortunately, will not be of much comfort to any of us!

Mediocre...

Now I could have done like Marlin is singing about, twisting the truth, and said that this is a good record. However, it isn't; it's in the better case a bit enjoyable at times.

Since the start in 1998 with the single "Unforgivable Sinner" and the album "Playing My Game", there have in my ears for the most part been standing still, she hasn't been even close to the potential she according to the debut was holding.

Celebrating One Year In Lene's Service

Celebrating the website's first birthday by releasing a high resolution video with over 7 minutes of pure Lene imagery.

On September 8, the lene-marlin.info website has been in Lene's faithful service for one whole year. On this happy occasion we invite you to download a 110 MB video with a photographic journey through 10 years of Lene Marlin activity.

Lene grateful for birthday wishes

(Notice by Tef Johs, September 1, 2009)

A sign of life from Lene today, as she is offering her thanks for all the Happy Birthdays recently.

In a new blog message on her personal MySpace page at noon today, Lene is talking about how she celebrated her recent 29th birthday.

She is also revealing that she has already begun thinking about her next birthday, in 2010, when she will be 30.

The local paper Oppland Arbeiderblad did not leave Lene much honour in their 'Twist The Truth' album review back in April. As a comfort, we can offer a new Lene audio file for download in our Lene Audio section: 'Everything's Good' and 'Here We Are' live at NRK P3 Lydverket on April 1st, bundled in one convenient zip-file.

Sad stuff

(Published by OA, April 2, 2009)

Once upon a time, there was this girl from Tromsø who silenced whole of pop Norway with "Unforgivable Sinner" and "Sitting Down Here".

Even in Italy, you could sit on the beach or the sidewalk restaurant listening to Lene Marlin being played on the radio. However, a quite incomprehensible self-imposed "break" after the bang debut in 1999 put the Tromsø girl quickly and efficiently on the sideline.
