“Norwegian Mood” is the Norwegian singer/songwriter Kari Bremnes’ eight studio album and her International scene debut. With English translations by US songwriters Tom Russell and Eric Anderson, the album was produced by Kari’s long time producer Erik Hillestad and Irish producer Declan Sinnott. Nestled in partly jazzy, sometimes folkloric arrangements, leaving Kari’s voice calm, reflective impressions. A contender in the Joni Mitchell mode, she is ever-evocative, particularly on ‘Montreal’, a gorgeous, accordion-dipped chanson.

On this album Kari Bremnes has shifted into a new gear. The essence of her art as a singer/songwriter is more brilliant and inspiring than ever, letting you sense the sparkling energy bubbling underneath her cool and elegantly understated observations on life, time, love and disguise.
The songs on her new album reveal the artist’s uncompromising approach to content and style, and often break away from the traditional form of verse following refrain. Combining this with her new band, she has created a fresh new form that cannot be easily categorised. She gives us poetic, pensive, small musical worlds ¿ the feeling is more than ever of the shimmering beauty of Kari Bremnes’ music.

The Golden voice of Norway:
Norwegian born singer and songwriter Kari Bremnes was born in 1956 in Lofoten. Her career as a performer was delayed by her desire to finish university (she earned a Master’s Degree) and a short stint as a journalist. Eventually, the call of the stage won out, and in 1987 she released her first album, Mitt Ville Hjerte. From there, Bremnes went on to release more than ten full-lengths over the next 20 years, as well as a number of successful — in Norway and in other European nations — singles.

Many years have passed since Kari Bremnes released her latest solo CD. Now she is back with her second international solo album!
Kari has written all the lyrics and most of the music. Petter Henriksen (who wrote the songs for “Mitt ville hjerte” (My Wild Heart) from 1987 and “Blå krukke” (Blue Urn) from 1989) has written two of the songs. Arrangements and production are by Bengt Egil Hanssen, while Erik Hillestad has produced the vocals. In addition to Bengt Egil Hanssen on keyboards, the band includes Børge Petersen Øverleir on guitars, Arnfinn Bergrabb on drums, Gjermund Silset on bass and Nils Petter Molvær on trumpet.
“You´d have to be here” has exceptionally strong and intricate lyrics with beautiful melodies over a hard-hitting beat; familiar territory for Kari, only this time with a keener edge and a sharper focus. The record has been mixed by Ulf Holand and recorded at Lydlab and Studio Nordraak
