Shine — дебютный студийный альбом британской кроссовер-певицы и автора песен Мэри-Джесс Ливерленд, который был выпущен спустя два года после выступления певицы на китайском конкурсе талантов Min Xing Chang Fan Tian в декабре 2009 года. Сама Ливерленд описала альбом как «гибрид классики и попа с элементами саундтрека и китайской музыки».
