Aside from having a wonderful voice, Susanne also creates some really innovative orchestration on her latest release.
Thanks to John F for suggesting that I give her a listen. Here is the link John sent with a couple of good videos.

I have always liked the dark edge that Hanne has had.
And no change on her latest album.

Some lovely Electro-pop from Norwegian Annie Lilia Berge Strand.
This is her debut from 2004 and highly enjoyable it is to, nicely upbeat.
She is due to release her second album sometime this year.
Annie – ‘Chewing Gum’ from the album ‘Anniemal’

Her fifth album, but the first I have heard.
Deep and powerful stuff lyrically.
A tad melancholy, but she is confronting her troubled past/present.
Great voice and lovely minimal production throughout.
Maria Mena – ‘All This Time’ from the album ‘Cause And Effect’

I have really been getting into this Norwegian. You can’t go wrong with any of her releases, but Idjagieđas was my first introduction to her.

Reminds me of Jem/Imogen Heap/Bjork

The hugely talented singer/songwriter Ane Brun has released the first single from her up and coming album “Changing of the Seasons” which is due for release in March 2008.

Pop over to her website to subscribe to the newsletter to get the heads up on the album release date. Hopefully you will be able to buy it via her web store.
