Shine (Mary-Jess album)
Shine is the debut album by British classical crossover singer-songwriter Mary-Jess Leaverland. The album follows her victory on Chinese television talent contest Min Xing Chang Fan Tian in December 2009. Leaverland described the album's sound as a "True hybrid between Classical and Pop with a filmic element and an Oriental thread".
Release history
