Song of the Day: Lena – Wild & Free

Lena - Wild & Free

Review:
It is about two months ago that Lena released her fourth studio album called Crystal Sky.

She will sing her outstanding soulful pop track ‘Black Smoke’ in the big final, but she proves she is not a one trick pony on her debut album Silver Into Gold that she just released.
