Lori Reina Goldstein (born May 13, 1975, in the Bronx, New York City, United States)[1] is an American female dance-pop singer-songwriter.

Early life and career[]

Reina was a backup singer for such music artists as Deborah Cox and Corina. In 1995, she released a self-titled R&B album as Lori Gold, and had a minor hit with "I Likes". In 1998, as Reina, she became an overnight sensation[1] on the Dance/Club scene when "Find Another Woman" reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.[2]

In 2003, she scored her biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when her single "No One's Gonna Change You" crossed over from the dance charts.[3] In 2004 when "If I Close My Eyes" went to number 2 on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, she garnered her biggest dance hit and in 2005 scored another top 5 on the same chart with "Forgive".[4] All 3 tracks were from her third album overall, but first under her new name Reina "This Is Reina". Reina is promoted by AJ Iacona.
