MP3: Nathalie Nordnes - Cars and boys
Time again for your weekly dose of Norwegian pop. Nathalie Nordnes is a young singer/songwriter out of Bergen and her second album "Join me in the park" was my first introduction to her. The music reminds me a lot of early Cardigans in that it's very light-hearted pop and almost loungey at times. The lyrics are banal, almost nauseatingly so, but the music so undemanding and easy to like, it still works if you're in the right mood. It's perfect summer music, it's not meant to be challenging or deep. It's also worth noting that, unlike the Cardigans, Nathalie surrounds herself with a crackerjack band of session musicians. Nothing indierock about it.
