Shining (EP)
Shining is the first EP by pop singer Crystal Kay. It was released on November 28, 2007. The EP features five tracks, all of which have a Christmas or holiday theme. A music video was made for the main promotional track, also called "Shining". The song was used in commercials for "Parco X'Mas TV" throughout the Christmas period, in which Kay starred. "Happy 045 Xmas"had been released digitally in 2005, and "No More Blue Christmas'" (a Natalie Cole cover) had been released on Kay's first English studio album Natural: World Premiere Album in December 2003.
First press editions of the EP had a sleeve cover and a greeting card.

Blackjazz
Blackjazz is the fifth studio album by the Norwegian band Shining, released through Indie Recordings on 18 January 2010.
Singles
Shining performed the world premiere of the song Fisheye live on Store Studio, a culture talk show on NRK, 10 October 2009. Their performance was later released on YouTube, and as a free mp3 download from NRK.
An extended version of Fisheye and the single The Madness And The Damage Done were released on iTunes prior to Blackjazz' release. The Singles were well-received, with Fisheye named Best song of 2009 by a critic in NRK's Lydverket, and giving Shining a place on Time Out New York's list the Stars of 2010.
Music
As on Shining's two previous albums, the music draws elements from many different genres, particularly jazz and metal. The album's title, Blackjazz, is meant to describe the band's sound.
The instrumentation is far simpler than on the two previous albums, with Jørgen Munkeby focusing on guitars and saxophone. This has made the album's sound closer to how they sound live, as songs from previous albums needed to be simplified for live performances.

by: ShiningThe madness and the damage done
(If) you write one more thing in my book of lies
I brainwash myself a blood-stained mind
Put on a glass, It'll never forget the pain
The same old, same old hurting game
You love the whole wide world with your body as a sign
But I never was the physical kind
You offer holy cure and sight to the blind
But I never was the miracle kind
You'll remember me when you sell your ring
Don't tell me you don't feel a thing
Holy Mary (I,) can't seem to shut her legs!
Thoughts run wild
The madness and the damage done
You'll remember me when your worlds collide
The sea will rise and your thought divide
You'll remember me when the sea retreats
The cerebral storm won another defeat*
While we sing to the moon your stars fall down
While our eyes run sore, you wear a crown
The sometimes, maybe: There's no middle ground
The void has won,
The madness and the damage done
The madness and the damage done
