Description
Siri Nilsen, the daughter of one of Norway's most beloved singer-songwriters, Lillebj°rn Nilsen, won Grappa's "New Artist Award" in 2008. Her dual-language debut album, 'Vi som ser i m°rket', was released in 2009 to critical acclaim. Aftenposten, one of Norway's leading newspapers, wrote that she is "an artist who has already found her own distinctive voice. The rumours of her excellence were no exaggeration."
On 'Alle Snakker Sant' - her debut UK album - Siri has collaborated with producers and musicians Jens Carelius and �yvind R°srud Gundersen. Together they have created a dynamic soundscape for Siri's 10 folk-pop songs. The music is original, elegant and translucent; dominated by acoustic string instruments, keyboards and a variety of percussion instruments. As a vocalist Siri is given plenty of room for manoeuvre.
All the lyrics on 'Alle snakker sant' are in Norwegian, unlike on her first album, where Siri sang in both her father's and her mother's native tongues, Norwegian and English. The album has been a big success in the Norwegian popcharts, and was nominated for a Spelleman - the Norwegian Grammy.
Personnel: Siri Nilsen (vocals, ukelele, mini ukelele, guitar, piano, rhodes, percussion)
