Wenche turns 66!<\/p>\n
Wenche Myhre turns 66 on February the 15th, and Grappa Music Label has on this very special occasion the honor of releasing her new album called \u201d66\u201d.<\/p>\n
Wenche Myhre is one of our most beloved norwegian artists, who has managed to reach out and touch an even broader international audience throughout her nearly 60-year long career. Many remember her in tandem with Povel Ramel. Others immediately get a picture of Wenche as a young kinderardengirl with buckets and her rain hat, while the whole Germany \u2013 where she\u2019s had superstar status for several decades \u2013 smiles and speaks warmly about \u00abDie Wenche\u00bb. Lastly, we have those who start to hum the huge hit, \u201cN\u00e5r jeg blir seksogseksti\u201d. Now, when she finally hits the 66 mark, she celebrates this with a big tour, an album release and a biography called \u201c66 \u2013 a life without a safety net\u201d, written by Mona Levin. The album \u201c66\u201d contains several of Wenches old hits, but also three new songs.<\/p>\n
The very first single from the album (released fall 2012), \u201dPrinsesse Smil\u201d, is written specially for Wenche from \u00c5ge Aleksandersen, and got a 5\/6 score from the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, who called the song a \u201dhymn to the joy of life\u201d. \u00c5ge Aleksandersen has additionally written a new version of his own song for Wenche called \u201dReise med vind\u201d. Hanne S\u00f8rvaag wrote the song “Hjertekammer”.<\/p>\n
Wenche, once Norway’s first pop star, is today an admired and mature artist \u2013 a real entertainer \u2013 a word she has the outmost respect for. It encompasses artist, schlager- and folksinger, comedian, film- and theatre actor. The word stands for what once was Myhre\u2019s ultimate goal and dream. Now, when all the dreams have come true a long time ago, new ones are waving in the horizon, although not that far away. Wenche has on-going projects constantly. Her mind shoots off new ideas before the previous ones have had the time to land. She has never stood still, and continues to surprise.<\/p>\n

Now, when she finally hits the 66 mark, she celebrates this with a big tour, an album release and a biography called \u201c66 \u2013 a life without a safety net\u201d, written by Mona Levin. The new album is a combination of the familiar and dear, together with the newly created, which surely will soon become both known and loved \u2013 which is typical for Wenche. The tracks sweep through a long-lasting career. They demonstrate the longevity of the old songs, and show the potential of the new ones.<\/p>\n
In 2011 Wenche Myhre and \u00c5ge Aleksandersen met at the rock museum \u201cRockheim\u201d in Trondheim. Wenche had just bought \u00c5ge\u2019s new album, and immediately fell in love with the song \u201cReise med vind\u201d, which is currently in her new album \u201c66\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00c5ge was very surprised when Wenche asked for the approval to sing his song.
\n\u201cBut the song is about death\u201d, he said.
\n\u201cNo, it\u2019s about eternity\u201d, she replied.<\/p>\n
\u00c5ge thought about it, and offered to write a new version of the text for Wenche. He didn\u2019t stop at that, and composed a new melody for her as well: \u201cPrinsesse Smil\u201d. This became the first single of the new alum, and got the score of 5\/6 in the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, who called it a \u201chymn to the joy of life\u201d. The title can stand as a signature describing Wenche Myrhe herself \u2013 she is known for her smile and her sparkling blue eyes. No matter what ways life has taken her, Wenches smile maintains its beauty. Her personality spreads joy, and has found its way into countless hearts. This is reflected in the title of the second new song on this album, written by Hanne S\u00f8rvaag specially for Wenche, called \u201cHjerteflimmer\u201d.<\/p>\n
