DEILIG – Jan Eggum

Vital and exuberant

Jan Eggum´s latest album release before the millennium is an energetic and swinging affair. The album, which gave Eggum his third Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannprisen) as a solo artist, is vital and exuberant, and less melancholy than Eggum´s previous releases. His lyrics, however, are still ironic: Eggum´s sharp observations are as strong and compelling as ever. Deilig is a shining example of Eggum’s ability to renew himself, without losing his uniqueness as an artist. Producer Bugge Wesseltoft, along with musical virtuosos such as Rune Arnesen, Marius Reksjø, Børge Pettersen Øverleir and Georg Wadenius, add to Jan Eggum´s songs a funky touch.
