In 2005, Lorina's long awaited second album, Clean Break, also captured a Tui and is attracting great reviews while Lorina was Metro Magazine’s pick for Best NZ Female Solo Artist for 2005 writing: “…(She) proves that life experiences are intrinsic to coming up with the song-writing goods.” Lorina’s extensive theatrical background, storytelling abilities and infectious sense of humour blend to create mesmerising stage performances reviewers have called “…utterly captivating.” Lorina has played support for many overseas acts including Lucinda Williams (USA) Suzanne Vega (USA), Katy Moffat (USA), Guy Clark (USA), Rory McLeod (UK), Jane Siberry (Canada), and Blue Rodeo (Canada). ...a truly gifted performer, an accomplished singer songwriter and musician (New Zealand Musician calls her “an evolved craftsperson”), with a distinctive and original sound of her own. Her songs have been called “…masterpieces in miniature…” sung with a voice “…resonant and soulful as a gospel choir…Lorina now lives in a small town where she sings to the older folks, teaches drama to Special people and lives her dream of being a drummer in a rock band.
