And here we have another 'lost' popstar, the lovely Lina Santiago. Once again, I have searched for info on her to no avail. She released this album during the mid-90's resurgence of freestyle music, and had a great deal of success with her first single, "Feels So Good", produced by DJ Jaunito. The song just squeaked into the Billboard Top 40 and was huge on dance charts everywhere. She, along with Planet Soul (whose main man George Acosta did an interview at the time dissing Lina ruthlessly, claiming that her hit was just a rip-off of Planet Soul's sound) and Angelina, brought a new form of freestyle back to the charts, which is really more electro-house than classic freestyle. Whatever the case, she hit it big - for a brief moment. According to DJ Jaunito, her label Universal had a different musical vision and made them record an album full of mostly ballads and hip-hop flavoured songs (including a sweet remake of One Way's funk classic "Cutie Pie"). Her second single, the ballad "Just Because I Love You", hit the Billboard Top 100 but failed to reach the Top 40. Then she disappeared. Chances are that more upbeat dance numbers would have kept her in the spotlight (though the new freestyle movement was short-lived). Instead, she joins the list of M.I.A. pop stars. Sad indeed, but delightful for this blog! ;)Video for Feels So Good
