Vancouver, BC. Canada (Top 40 Charts/ Braun & Brains Music) - Evolution of the Blood Star by Norine Braun charts again for the ninth consecutive month climbing to number 3 on Outvoice in December and No 10 overall for year. Norine joins artists kd lang and Melissa Ethridge on this month's and the yearly GLBT Top 40 Chart . OutVoice is the online GLBT Top 40 Chart since 1996.

Evolution of the Blood Star by Norine Braun is a joyful amalgamation of downtempo, jazz, pop and rock. Pop, as a genre, and music altogether would be incomplete without the magical artistry of this distinct singer songwriter. Alex Jasperse from Muses Muse says"...This album is simply a masterpiece: it has detached elements from jazz, pop, trip-hop and soul without ever losing a sense of 'cool'. Everything is rich and varied, daring but soothing and beautifully poetic." The album also features Norine Braun's award winning single and now new music video, Crystallize. The video showcases First Nation west coast art styled animation and is currently in rotation on Muchmoremusic tv Canada's national music video channel.

Norine Braun is a Vancouver based singer-songwriter who has been called "jazzed up, funk tinged alternative pop." That should tell you how her music defies conventional categorization. Built on a solid foundation of soul, Norine experiments with forms from ambient pop to jazz and rock. Braun herself is an interesting mixture of equal parts Sade, Blondie, Bjork and Patti Smith. Smooth one minute and rocking out the next. Its a rare quality, and one that Braun capitalizes on to keep things compelling, a genuine musical chameleon.
