Kristine Blond - Love Shy

Kristine Blond hails from Denmark and signed her first record deal at the age of 19, but despite finishing the album, it was never released. She bounced back with a new record deal a few years later, and released her first single, "Love Shy" in the UK in April 1998, and reached #22. The track was originally a pop/R&B number produced by Cutfather & Joe, who have priduced for lots of other artists including Precious and Ace OF Base.

A few years later, the track became an underground smash in the clubs in a remixed garage version, and it eventually led to a re-release of the single, making #28 in January 2000. Kristine's only other chart entry in the UK is "You Make Me Go Ooh", released in May 2002 and making #35, the UK main mix was again a remixed version of the original superior version. However one of the mixes, the Supa' Flyas Mix, was fantastic and was the main mix over in Germany!

Since then, Kristine has continued to release music, having some success in her homeland and also Germany, where an album "All I Ever Wanted" was released in December 2002, featuring her 2 Uk singles (Sadly "Love Shy" in the remixed form), and "A Day Without You", "You Belong To Someone Else" and "Teach Him", which were all released as singles in Germany.

According to her official website (link below), Kristine is in the studio recording her new album, and a few of the tracks can be sampled online.

The version of "Love Shy" which I have posted is the original Cutfather & Joe version. I didn't like any of the remixes, of which more surfaced in 2004! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
