Search - Siv Jakobsen :: The Nordic Mellow

Having impressed with singles ?Like I Used To? and ?Shallow Digger? earlier in the year, Norwegian songwriter Siv Jakobsen is already making waves with her debut album, slated for release on August 25th this year. The singles have been highly supported from the start, receiving key airplay from NPR, alongside steadfast support from Spotify and tastemaker blogs including NYLON, Paste Magazine, Clash and Gold Flake Paint. Notably, the album?s second single Shallow Digger was included in NPR?s All Songs Concidered, the critically acclaimed podcast and radio show broadcasted to well over 26 million Americans. The host of the renowned show Bob Boilen even referred to The Nordic Mellow as a ?magnificent record,? thus assuring his listeners that Siv is a musical force to be reckoned with. Having spent the first half of her twenties in Boston and New York, Siv?s debut album is highly influenced by her time spent in the US. This is something that is clearly stated in the album?s lead single Berry & Whythe, a melancholic yet upbeat look on her time living in Brooklyn, NY.
