ANMELDELSE
|
Sissel: One Day In the mid-90s, it seemed we were quite near a modern, ethnic-inspired pop album by Sissel Kyrkjebø. I was myself there at the little café Amsterdam in Oslo where she served up a little taste accompanied by Bugge Wesseltoft. It sounded exquisite to my ears, but that album never came out -- and if we judge from the first single from the long-awaited album, we've got something entirely different coming. "One Day" is a pretty piece of music -- but anything but experimental pop. Quite the reverse, it sounds very traditional. Piano intro á la Lionel Richie, and then it begins; beautiful song (of course), add big orchestra, in with the Trondheim Gospel Choir, and then a faint "heavy metal" guitar... in the end; majestic "Titanic"-tear dropping. Pretty, but noticeably uninteresting. One does not use 6-7 years on music produced for every other Hollywood film, does one? Arild Rønsen, translated from Norwegian by Robert A Jones |
