This is one of my favourite Norwegian tracks that I listen to everyday. It's a remake of a Kaizers Orchestra track, but i prefer this one! What are you listening to? 8-)

I'm a big fan of the Norwegian musician Unni Wilhelmsen. Most of the lyrics to her songs are in English, but she did record one CD called "Til Meg" that is all in Norwegian.

I copied the youtube url for the song "Til Meg," but the youtube button didn't work for me. :hmm:

Here's the direct link:

The reason it didn't work was because you needed to remove the 'feature=player_detailpage&' bit, I think they changed the format of the urls on youtube...

Nice track by the way! Thanks for sharing. It's always hard to find new Norwegian artists :y:

Good to hear you liked it. My favorite track on the "Til Meg" CD is called "Prinsessesangen," but so far I haven't been able to find a link I can post.

Unni actually burst on to the Norwegian music scene back in the mid-90's, but it wasn't until 2005 that I first heard Unni's music. One of the reasons why I like her CD "Til Meg" so much was because I heard it first "live" when I attended Unni's CD release mini concert/party at Soria Moria in Oslo 01. November 2006:

Soria Moria - Onsdag 1. november 2006

Here's a "live" recording of another track from Unni's "Til Meg" CD:

Here's the link to a short bio about Unni Wilhelmen's music career:

Unni Wilhelmsen » Biography

Unni Wilhelmsen is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters in Norway. She debuted in 1996 with To Whom It May Concern, which won her two Norwegian grammys - best album and best female artist - and featured her biggest hit to date, Won’t Go Near You Again.

Dette er allerede noe bra musikk som jeg ikke kjente ennå.

Jeg lytter ofte til Odd Nordstoga:

It's a pity that his albums are not available in (web)stores outside Norway. Well, I guess that's another good reason to go to Norway myself.

Here are a few more of my favourites. They sing in the Bodø dialect by the way...

Think I'm going to learn the Bodø dialect now, østlandisk is just so 1990s...! :wink:
