Maria Arredondo，1985年七月六日降生于挪威的文内斯拉（Vennesla）小镇。和很多出色的歌手一样，Maria从很小的时候便显露了过人的音乐天赋。她的母亲说她是“从会走路的那天起，就会唱歌了”。她从10岁起就开始参加地区的各种歌唱比赛，成绩颇佳。她用了两年时间慢慢寻找自我风格，然后签订了自己的唱片合同。她可以唱各种各样的歌，从慢而深情的“Cross Every River"到疯狂有力的快歌如“Mad Summer”。是个跨过古典和流行界的歌手。
Maria的嗓子有些象流行天后Mariah Carey,但是比后者要稍微男性一点点。Maria的声线非常好,性感但不做作,有力但不炫耀,明亮但不过分照人。她的低音很沉,很女人但是又很自立,高音千回百转,闻之泪下。推荐她的Burning,非常棒的曲子!诱惑力,爱情,妖娆的盘绕让人无法拒绝。

试听：Burning - Maria Arredondo

歌词：
Passion is sweet
Love makes weak
You said you cherised freedom so
You refused to let it go
Follow your faith
Love and hate
never failed to seize the day
Don＇t give yourself away
Oh when the night falls
And your all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of
My skin＇s still burning from your touch
Oh I just can＇t get enough
I said I wouldn＇t ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the tought keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can＇t predict where it ends
If you＇re the rock I＇ll crush against
Trapped in a crowd
Music＇s loud
I said I loved my freedom too
Now im not so sure i do
All eyes on you
Wings so true
Better quit while your ahead
Now im not so sure i am
Oh when the night falls
And your all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of
My skin＇s still burning from your touch
Oh I just can＇t get enough
I said I wouldn＇t ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the thought keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can＇t predict where it ends
If you＇re the rock I＇ll crush against
My soul, my heart
If your near or if your far
My life, my love
You can have it all
Oh when the night falls
And your all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of
My skin＇s still burning from your touch
Oh I just can＇t get enough
I said I wouldn＇t ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the thought keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can＇t predict where it ends
If you＇re the rock I＇ll crush against
If you＇re the rock i＇ll crush against
