    It's so cool that her actual intellect is reflected in her songwriting. A lot of her songs have a pop structure but the lyrics are intricate and political. She deserves even more acclaim and success.

    I just discovered Rina a few weeks ago when I was watching the Graham Norton Show here in the U.S. on BBC America. She performed “Hold The Girl” and I was mesmerized by the song and especially her performance. I literally became a fan instantly and have been discovering her music and learning about her as an artist since then. This interview was soooo good and I’ve fallen even deeper in love with Rina after seeing this interview and learning so much about her through this interview. By the way, great content and I really thought the interviewer did a great job presenting the questions with a balance of curiosity, respect and sincere interest in Rina and her story. 👏 👏
