It takes more than just talent to confront one’s emotions so earnestly that they are transformed into music. Above all, it takes courage. Liv Solveig has an abundance of both. Add to that the expressive range of an artist who studied violin in Germany and jazz singing in New York. In her songs, she opens up neo-classically inspired soundscapes in which flashes of pop shine through. You can sense that she is at home in the vastness of Scandinavia. Liv Solveig spent several years of her childhood there. Yet her music is far from vague: her honest lyrics create a sense of intimacy. Her voice touches the heart.
