Blending so many genres together into a single song shouldn’t work, but somehow this Norwegian duo have managed to create something really special here. A melodic fusion of soul, RnB, bass and pop.
“This single is about being stuck, lost and confused, and wanting to have some sort of medicine to heal.”
Track of the week. Words couldn’t comprehend the emotions that ran through me when I first played this song from Norwegian talent Emilie Nicolas. It’s a haunting, heartbreaking piece with elements of soul and bluegrass, all combined together to create something truly beautiful.
Taken from the album ‘Let Her Breathe’.
Chilled Norwegian pop, comprising of vocalist and songwriter Mirjam Omdal and producer Magnus ‘Magnify’ Martinsen. If enjoy their sound then you’ll be pleased to know that they plan on releasing two EP’s this year, with the theme for both being mental health.
“Mess is about the story of how a person’s thoughts and feelings after being abused can affect their life”.
Taken from the first EP ‘Close’ which will be released on June 12th.
A Norwegian indie-rock quartet with a meaningful message.
“It’s about life being like a karmic wheel that just keeps going and going. One event after another, but if you find yourself on the outside of the wheel for some reason (like these Corona times) you can get a sense of what am I really doing?“
I genuinely struggled to try and describe this sound. All I can say is that it’s utterly bonkers (yet brilliant) pop, produced with hints of funk and disco.
It’s performed in Norwegian, but I can promise you that you won’t quite hear anything like this for some time.
“Creating an album is a completely different process to writing individual songs. It was challenging working on such a comprehensive project, but it has also been the most exciting thing I’ve ever worked on. I’ve loved everything from the visual design and the intense period in the studio, to finally finishing it all. It will be nice to showcase something coherent and show more sides to me.”
The full album will be released this September via Little Daggers Records, under an exclusive license agreement with Universal Music AS & Polydor DE.
Today we have yet another unleashing of energising, pulsating synth beats from Moyka- would you expect any less? A song that details the introspection following the end of a relationship.
“It’s just emotion. And it’s okay to still have good feelings about someone – good energy and emotion.” It’s an energetic, but sad love song perfect for both parties/alone time.”
Playful Norwegian electro pop with an infectious beat structure. If you’re a sucker for Sweden’s Felix Sandman then you will love this kid.
Resa returns today with a slice of dark, almost sinister Norwegian pop. The EP ‘Dumb and Numb’ is released today via Toothfairy.
A charming balance of playfulness and melancholy with this pop sound from Norwegian newcomer Paria.
