Kristina Allen has such a soulful voice that can make you fall in love anytime. In 2021, she released her latest album Dhairyata (Patience), and trust us, every song from the album is worth listening to. But, the album has very minimal views on YouTube (769 views in four months). Allen’s songs mostly depict her experiences in love, personal growth and life.
Nepali is Allen’s second language, but surprisingly, as one of the Nepali musicians, she has flawlessly expressed her emotions through Nepali songs.
