A status report in song form. Three years have passed since Frida \u00c5nnevik released her critically acclaimed second album \u201cVille ord\u201d, for which she won a Spellemannspris (Norwegian Grammy) for the year\u2019s best lyrics. She was later nominated for another Spellemannspris together with the group In the Country for the album \u201cSkogenes Sang\u201d, featuring poems by Hans B\u00f8rli, and presented memorable interpretations of Alf Pr\u00f8ysen\u2019s songs on the album \u201cLyden av Pr\u00f8ysen\u201d. Now, at last, she is once again releasing an album of her own songs: lovely, catchy and touching, with pop lyrics that plumb unusually profound depths. She herself calls the album a status report in song form. \u201cHer bor\u201d is her best album so far.<\/p>\n

She herself calls the album a status report in song form. \u201cHer bor\u201d is her best album so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to hear people describe me as \u2018understated\u2019 any more,\u201d Frida says. \u201cAnd I feel as though I never have been. I could have called it Hedmark-fado right from the start, to describe what is vibrating, what is simmering under the surface.\u201d Frida\u2019s lyrics are often commented on, and not without reason. \u201cI want my lyrics to take on many forms of expression, and to have many meanings at the same time,\u201d she explains. \u201cI want the lyrics to get through to the listener, while they are also open to different interpretations.\u201d On \u201cHer bor\u201d the breadth of the lyrics is greater than ever. She writes with originality and precision about being part of a couple, about seeing oneself. She pays homage to heroes; she writes about the importance of what seems insignificant, and about simply existing. Some of her lyrics pack more of a political punch than previously, with a clearer sting. Among other things, a powerful new version of Lars Klevstrand\/Rudolf Nilsen\u2019s \u201cStorbynatt\u201d is included on the album.<\/p>\n
Frida produced the album together with K\u00e5re Chr. Vestrheim, and is backed by a creative and highly experienced band with strongly individual voices. She says that she had much more fun in the studio with this album. There was less brooding, it was more intuitive, and decisions were made more quickly. \u201cI am slowly getting to the point where the music is becoming what I want it to be,\u201d Frida says. \u201cI am starting to get control over it; in other words, when something happens that is beyond my control I\u2019m starting to like it. Before it only made me nervous.\u201d At the same time as she recorded \u201cHer bor\u201d, Frida \u00c5nnevik also recorded a \u201csister album\u201d, a new album that is closely tied to \u201cHer bor\u201d and is planned to be released in 2017.<\/p>\n
Frida \u00c5nnevik comes from Ridabu, near Hamar. She immediately became a name to take note of when her debut album, \u201cSynlige hjerteslag\u201d, was released in 2010. Her low-key \u201cpop in an open landscape\u201d, her unique voice and her original lyrics garnered critical acclaim and a broad audience. \u201cSynlige hjerteslag\u201d was named the best Norwegian-language album of the year by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation\u2019s programme \u201cNorsk p\u00e5 Norsk\u201d on the radio station P1, and was featured on lists of the year\u2019s best albums by the TV show \u201cLydverket\u201d and the newspaper V\u00e5rt Land, among others. \u00c5nnevik was nominated for a Spellemannspris, the Norwegian Grammy, both as newcomer of the year and in the folk category. She also received the Vidar Sandbeck Cultural Award, \u201cRegnb\u00e5g\u00e5brua\u201d, and the Norwegian Lyricist Fund\u2019s \u201cLyspunkt\u201d award for new artists. Since her previous album was released she has won a Spellemannspris for her album \u201cVille Ord\u201d, the Pr\u00f8ysen Prize, the Hedmark County Cultural Prize and the Neshornpris, a cultural award from the newspaper Klassekampen. Release concerts: 3 November\tGregers, Hamar 4 November\tParkteatret, Oslo<\/p>\n
