AURORA
19 -year-old Aurora Aksnes was discovered on Youtube. She started writing songs on the piano as a young girl in her parentsâ attic in Bergen, Norway. Her debut album was released in May 2015 by Decca records, and has been wildly successful.
In 2015 she won the Spelleman Award (Norwegian Grammyâs) for newcomer of the year.
TheRollingStone.com describes her music as Norse folk ballads served on the rocks, and compares her to the Icelandic band âOf Monsters and Men.â
Her second album is scheduled to be released in March 2016, and I canât wait.
Listen to Aurora and other amazing artists on Molly in the Morning, Mondays at 10:30 a.m.
SINCERELY, FRANK
âSincerely, Frankâ is a folk pop duo from Stavanger, Norway. All the songs are written by the two members, Casper Bjelland Hatlestad and Emilie Eie.
They sing about anything from awkward one night stands to the current immigrant crisis in Europe.
They are inspired by artists such as Joni Mitchell and Don McLean.
After releasing their EP âRocking Horseâ in February they gained a lot of attention. The album sold well in local stores, and their concerts were packed with people.
In the beginning of April, âSincerely, Frankâ will be touring in the south of Norway.
Emilie is currently studying Jazz in Stavanger, while Casper is studying music at Leeds college of Music, in England.
