Masterpiece from Jan Eggum

Jan Eggum is a thoughtful observer with melodic flair. He portrays relationships between people, with particular emphasis on the intimate love relationship between two people. With precise glance he sings about the love affair´s bright and dark sides. But Eggum is also political, as in "Hagens hotel" where he writes ironically about current political issues. Other songs are characterized by a good dose of humor, such as "Per og Lise" and "Blikket". The lyrics are surrounded by delightful arrangements inspired by Gypsy music and 60s rock music. The result is a series of melodic gems with strong and honest lyrics. Underveis is Jan Eggum´s best-selling album and the release is regarded as a breakthrough for his commercial success as a singer, musician and songwriter. The album was nominated for a Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannprisen) and was listed for almost two months on the VG list.

Strong Songs

Underveis consists of 11 new songs, neatly packed into elegant arrangements and performed with an enthusiasm that reveals that Eggum is something so rare as an artist that can account for every word he writes. The songs are sharp and melancholic, with a good dose of humor. The result is a series of melodic gems with strong, honest lyrics that are typical of Eggum work as an artist.

Thoughtful observer

Underveis is mainly about relationships between people. In particular, Eggum focuses on the intimate love relationship between two people, a theme that is pervasive in all his production. In songs like "Hemmelig", "Då ska eg komme" and "Ta meg med", he treats love in its different expressions and forms. He sings about this relationship´s bright and, more importantly, dark sides. Eggum´s sharp look and bold texts are also present in the bitter-sweet and cheerful "Jomfru", and in the political "Hagens hotell" Eggum shows his ability to write ironically about current political issues. Eggum is often described as an intelligent observer, and this description is really apparent on this record. So is his sense of humor, such as in "Per og Lise" and "Blikket".

Top Musicians

The lyrics come in delightful arrangements that take inspiration from, among other things, gypsy music and 60s rock music. This musical frame is lifted several notches with a dream team of Norwegian musicians that Eggum himself has chosen: Eivind Aarset, Bugge Wesseltoft, Audun Erlien, Paolo Vinaccia, Knut Reiersrud, Steinar Ofsdal, Jens Wendelboe and Gitarkameratene. The album is produced by Sverre Erik Henriksen and is the first album Eggum released on Grappa Musikkforlag.
