The following article is a summary of Lene's financial situation and activities for 2007, taken from the public annual tax reports.

Good for closer to 7 million

(Published by Framtid i Nord, August 12, 2008)

It all goes well for Lene Marlin's private limited company Mellowmoment AS.

COINING IT IN: It's not often that Lene Marlin is standing on the stage. Last year, she did this during the Døgnvill Festival in Tromsø. Still, the 28-year-old from Tromsø is good for 6.9 million NOK.

Lene with an updated Blog

(Notice by Tef Johs, September 15, 2008)

Rejoice! Lene updated her official Blog today, the first update since February 14 of this year!

Lene is showing her appreciation towards her loyal fans in this blog update. She summarizes the three live concert events happening in August. Sokndal on August 16, Drammen on August 22, and last but not least, Karlstad, on August 29. Obviously, she is grateful to her Italian fans, although not mentioning the word "Italian" specifically, for showing up on all gigs, both in Norway and in Sweden. She says in her blog, among other things:

"It's been a great few weeks!

Thank you so much for coming to see me, and be such a great support...EVERYWHERE :-). I know lots of people who just couldn't believe you all travelled so far to see the gigs! Also from other parts of Norway! The band and I were really happy to see you guys, and you really do bring something special, standing there (or sitting :-) ) in front of the stage!!!

Together with her old acquaintances in StarGate, Lene co-wrote the title track for Rihanna's latest album in 2007.

Rihanna is a great star in the R&B genre. Now she has gotten help from Lene Marlin on the title track "Good Girl Gone Bad" on her new album.

Lene Marlin is back. Now as a songwriter for one of the hottest names on the world's R&B arena.

In 2006, Lene appeared on the Swiss band Lovebugs' album "In Every Waking Moment", singing a duet on the song "Avalon". In May - June 2007, she appeared with some of the members of the band in the Norwegian press, in connection with the VG Chart Top 20 concert in Oslo.

However, the success is temporarily not showing itself

Lene Marlin has helped her Swiss duet partners Lovebugs with a record deal in Norway.

Lene Marlin's duet with the Swiss Lovebugs has reached Norwegian radio stations - so far without the greater success.

INTRODUCTION

The day was filled with excitement, music, and lots of people everywhere. Over 6000 of them. The place was Oslo City Shopping Mall, Oslo, the capital of Norway, and the date was September 27, 2003.

Five days earlier, one of the most remarkable comebacks in Norwegian musical history had taken place. The release of the second album from a million-selling female artist from Tromsø, that nobody had heard a single official word from for over three and a half years. I was approaching this 1.60 meters tall, somewhat shy, but very receptive young woman, as she was sitting down behind a table, giving out signatures to a line of over 500 awaiting fans. As I was having my copy of Another Day signed, and as I was having my picture taken together with her, I knew I never would stop being an admirer of this exceptionally talented and beautiful 23-year-old female star.

I then knew I could never leave Lene Marlin Pedersen behind.
