VANILLA NINJA - the best group around!
Who in the U.K. has heard of Vanilla Ninja?

Vanilla Ninja is a female band from Estonian, but they sing in English!
Vanilla Ninja formed 4 years ago and have already produced 4 successful and fabulous albums. They are big across Europe, huge in Germany and have a big cult following around the World including the U.K. The lead singer Lenna Kuurmaa even sang for ‘The Queen’ last October 2006.
I am obviously a big British fan, but who else out there in the U.K. knows Vanilla Ninja???

Vanilla Ninja sing pop, soft rock, and melancholic ballads. The main singer Lenna Kuurmaa is incredible - a talented song writer with an amazing voice.

I bought their music easily on import from Germany and Japan, and have 4 of their main albums. The best albums I have ever bought! : -
Vanilla Ninja
Traces Of Sadness
Blue Tattoo
Love Is War

Really it is criminal if you have never heard them. Imagine never hearing ABBA and you will have an idea of what you are missing. Not that they are like ABBA.

Search for ‘Vanilla Ninja’ on the Internet and listen their music at YouTube.com

But before you all run off and start buying their albums – a little advice!
Look first before you buy because if you are sharp you can get bonus tracks or albums for free! Such as a extra songs, videos, classical version or an ‘Unplugged’ (acoustic) version thrown in. I discovered imports from Japan tend to have bonus and ALL their songs are superb so you do not want to miss any!
Don’t worry everything is in English and is all compatible.
