HOW WOULD U FEEL?
Lea Lorien has felt just fine, since her debut single with David Morales was featured on his album “2 Worlds Collide”. Within weeks of the debut it went to #1 on the Billboard Dance Radio chart, speeding past “DESTINY’S CHILD” and bypassing “CIARA”, 2 weeks in a row. It remained on the U.S. top 10 charts for weeks, as well as landing in the “Top 100” album chart for that year. "How Would U Feel" then reached #1 on the UK’s Music Week Club Chart, as well as on radio stations in 13 other countries, becoming an overnight anthem in clubs around the world.
Native New Yorker and daughter of rock guitarist Carlos Alomar (D. Bowie, J. Lennon, M. Jagger, P. McCartney, Alicia Keys) and singer Robin Clark (Simple Minds, Chic, Luther Vandross, Beyonce.) Lea was always surrounded by exceptional musicians and singers, so it came as no surprised when she started performing and recording with the likes of Mary J. Blige, Carl Thomas, Brandi, Patti Austin, Michael Bolton, Dreams Come True, Shania Twain, Anjelique Kidjo, BLUR, and the Grammy-winning group Scissor Sisters. But she is most proud of her latest endeavors.
Her collaboration with David Morales (Grammy-winning producer/re-mixer) on his album “2 WORLDS COLLIDE” has led to some very exciting career developments. Never in her wildest dreams would Lea think that this collaboration would lead her and Morales to be nominated for the Grammy’s newly formed category of “Best Electronic / Dance Album or that “How Would U Feel” would be feature in the upcoming 2009 “Grand Theft Auto- 5”. In addition to her studio work Lea toured with Morales to support the album in 5 countries. That year Lorien & Morales went on to win “Best House/Garage Track of the year” at the International “Dance Music Awards” Winter Music Conference.
While Lorien and Morales continued to write together, co-producing Suzanne Palmer's “Free My Love” (*69 Records) Lea also collaborated with Lem Springsteen (Mood II swing, Terminal Love) where she was featured on his single “It’s Not Easy” (Independent Soul Divas). Lea went on to pen Louie Vegas’s “Top Ten” single “One Day”, both songs were soon picked up by H&M clothing stores for national in-store play. Keeping her musical taste broad, Lea has also written with Mario Winans, Duo Live, and Alicia Keys. Currently her collaboration with DJ/producer/re-mixer Mike Cruz has produced a house/garage track entitled, “I Try” featuring Lea Lorien - the first single off of his 2009 Album “Vocal Therapy”.
Lea Lorien is currently recording her first solo album due out in Early 2014.
