New Young Artist

I grew up in the eighties. When I was in high school, there were two teen aged artists who came out with albums, Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. They were both young, and my parents didn't mind me listening to them, because they were so unlike all the other hair bands of eighties fame. There was always a debate about who was the better artist, and like many people, I thought it was Debbie Gibson. She showed such dedication to her music by writing her own songs and recording them in the studio she had build at her home. I think I was right, because even today, Debbie, who later decided to go by her full name, Deborah, is still singing, and last I heard, Tiffany was posing for adult magazines.

Now that I am a mom, I would love to find the same type of singers for my kids to listen to, and I think I found it. Lena is a young artist who has been singer for as long as she can remember. In the past, she has recorded covers of others artists music, but recently she has released a new song, Framed. She wrote this song in collaboration with Kosta Lois, a veteran Hollywood music composer and producer. You can listen to it on Lena's myspace page. I let my kids listen, and they all enjoyed the song. I will warn you, though, not to let your kids read the comments, because there is some bad language.
