Sarina Paris is the self-titled debut album by Canadian singer Sarina Paris, which was released on May 22, 2001.[1][2] As of 2024[update], this is Paris' only studio album, reaching number 167 on the Billboard 200 in the United States.[3] Additionally, Paris was nominated for a Juno Award in 2001, for "Look at Us", in the category of Best Dance Recording.[4]
Sarina Paris received mixed reviews from music critics. The Orlando Sentinel commented on the album's quantity of "catchy tunes bound to get you dancing."[6] However, The Washington Post, while suggesting that Paris is capable of more, wrote that the album provided evidence that, for the time being, Paris is "another mindless slave to pop fashion."[7]USA Today also gave the album an unfavorable review, calling it forgettable and "cloying", despite "some moderately catchy tunes".[8]
Most reviewers commented on the instrumental arrangements, including Liana Jonas of AllMusic, who wrote, "The thin music and arrangements on the 13 tracks are simply monotonous", in a generally negative review, although she praised the album's single "Look At Us", remarked somewhat favorably about the album's song, "True Love", and stated that Paris had some promising musical potential.[5]
