Alanna Lin a.k.a. Fascinoma began her musical career at the piano like many Asian children born in the US in the mid-seventies. She studied classical piano and violin and performed competitively as a teenager in various festivals throughout Cleveland, Ohio. From Top-40 radio and early incarnations of MTV, she studied the non-classical forms of Madonna, The Bangles, and Whitney Houston as well as the soulful expressions of both George Michael and Michael Jackson.
On her debut album, Lin handles a range of emotion and perspective with originality and humor --in the mixture of earnestness and hilarity in "I'm Walking This Road Because You Stole My Car (Don't Go)" and in more somber ruminations on a lover's flaws in "Who's Gonna Love You" ("Baby, you think you're so wise/But baby, I've seen you compromise . . .") The production on the album is sparse, built on simple chord progressions, but her voice will satisfy both fans of Cat Power and PJ Harvey-- her creative take on Paula Abdul's 1988 Hit, Straight Up is an unexpected journey from sweetness to fury and back again.
Produced, recorded, and arranged by John Paterno (Los Lobos, Suzanne Vega, Richard Thompson), produced, mixed, and mastered by Raffaello Mazza (Arlo Guthrie, posthumous Jimi Hendrix), with Mike Corwin (Correatown, Red Maids) on guitar, Barbara Gruska (Jenny Lewis, Inara George, Benji Hughes) on drums, Bram Inscore (Beck, Peeping Tom, Jem) on bass and keys, this debut album is made of 'music for road trips and memories.'
