LOS ANGELES, CALIF. and SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – September 3, 2009 – Rhythm, pop and dance radio stations are heeding the call of prodigy pop/R&B siren Abrina.

Immediately, listeners’ demand warranted the play count of Abrina’s new song graduate into heavy rotation.

Abrina’s new single, “Cruel Summer,” is a remake of Bananarama’s ode to lost love. Being open and finding beauty in all types of music genres, Abrina has always been a fan of the eighties pop band. When her manager, Dale Soliven, proposed the remake of “Cruel Summer,” Abrina immediately and emphatically agreed. The challenges of re-imagining the eighties classic presented exciting new avenues for Abrina to stretch her talent and pay homage to Bananarama at the same time. Touching a cord with young fans, as well as old, the finished project equals phenomenal.

When the San Diego native is not performing or on tour, she is perpetually in the studio working on her second full-length album. Besides the “Cruel Summer” release, the rest of the highly anticipated second offering from the Latin beauty is under tight wraps. One thing fans can expect from the twenty-year-old is that she will be bringing her unique R&B/pop mix to further heights.
