User:Nikki Lunden/Lunden Reign

Alternative Rock Band out of Hollywood, CA

LUNDEN REIGN is Lora G [Espinoza-Lunden] & Nikki Lunden. The two acclaimed songwriter/ musicians and amazing live performers joined forces in 2013 after their bands headlined together at an LA nightclub. The chemistry was instantaneous and pairs Nikki’s “sultry, angsty, blues inspired voice” to Lora’s “unforgettably massive, haunting, hook-driven songs.“

￼￼“AMERICAN STRANGER” is Lunden Reign’s acclaimed and debut album featuring 10 original songs by Lora G, Nikki Lunden and writer/producer Luis Maldonado. All songs were recorded at three legendary studios: Capitol Records, Hollywood; Stagg Street Studios, LA & Abbey Road [Studio 2], London, UK. Capitol’s Grammy-winning Evren Goknar brilliantly mastered all ten songs. Lora, Nikki and Luis assembled an A-list team of musicians to join them in the studio including: Geoff Pearlman (Linda Perry), Ana Lenchantin (Queens of the Stone Age, Perfect Circle, The Eels), Hector Maldonado (Train) and Morgan Young (Into The Presence). The iconic album artwork was designed by IOANNIS-- considered one of rock’s three greatest album artists (UFO, Styx, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Allman Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, Quiet Riot). ￼ Already pre-release reviews by music industry legends and listeners are calling American Stranger: “a masterpiece,” “rock’s next landmark album,” “the new sound of LA” and “the best crossover blend of songs since Fleetwood Mac.”
