Who? Hanne Hukkelberg
Where? Norway
What? ‘The Young and Bold I’
What they say? Norwegian experimental pop artist Hanne continues to utilise her collagist method of structuring songs, with further integration of found instruments. “I wanted the lyrics and my voice to stand out the most. I needed something to lift up the vocals and the lyrics, and I wanted to challenge myself. I think it’s a richer process if I write the lyrics and write the songs, and produce the record at the same time. It’s a tiny bit chaotic, but incredibly rewarding,” says Hukkelberg.
Why we love it? Inventive pop built on harmonic layers and catchy refrains. Skittering and pattering beats and beat boxing are threaded with an ingenious palette of pianos and guitars. Marvellously addictive.
