Shine (project)

Shine was a Bubblegum Dance project formed in Sweden in the early 2000s by Zix Productions under the former label Stockhouse. The project was built around the main vocalist Carola Bernhav. During their time active, Shine released two singles in Japan and some songs on compilational sets. Shine is perhaps best known for her song "Loverboy".

Despite no official disbanding ever announced, the project has since been considered abandoned since 2001.

Brief Background

The project Shine was created in 2000 as a Traditional Bubblegum Dance project by Zix producers Guran Florén and Teddy Gustavsson, who are also members of the Bubblegum project Yummie from Sweden, best known as Maestro X and Zed. The project was built around Carola Bernhav, who was 18 years old at the time. From the very beginning, the project was aimed to be marketed as a project in the same vein as popular Bubblegum artists Aqua, Toy-Box, or even Miss Papaya. A lot of people who have heard Shine's music have agreed that Carola's vocals were very similar to Lene Nystrom-Rasted's from Aqua.

Brave (Jennifer Lopez album)

Brave is the sixth studio album by American entertainer Jennifer Lopez. It was released on October 4, 2007, by Epic Records. Inspired by her marriage with Marc Anthony and taking influences by Jamiroquai and Sade, "Brave" features prominently samples from old classics, mixing up with funk and R&B music. Brave sees Lopez working with new collaborators, such as Ryan Tedder, Midi Mafia, Jonathan Rotem, Bloodshy, Lynn & Wade LLP, The Clutch and others, while also working with long-time collaborator Cory Rooney throughout the album.

The album received a mixed reception from critics, with some complimenting its production, calling the album one of her strongest albums to date, while many called it a formulaic and bland album. Commercially, the album was a commercial disappointment, becoming her first album to miss the top-ten on the Billboard 200 chart, while also missing the top-twenty in the UK, Australia and other important markets. It has sold only 650,000 copies worldwide.
