"Since 2017, Norwegian pop star Sigrid has thrived on twisting minor frustrations and relationship woes into fizzy, empowering pop with delightfully sticky hooks. The now 29-year-old's major breakthrough, "Don't Kill My Vibe", was a chipper shutdown of a condescending music producer. Follow up "Don't Feel Like Crying" was a sanguine, anti-heartbreak banger set to glittering, ABBA-esque disco strings (both have reached 100m Spotify streams)."
"She cracks up when I mention that lyric, but concedes that the record is a fiery one. The album's cover is her screaming. "Fort Knox", the second single after noughties delight "Jellyfish", is a propulsive explosion of rage; "Kiss The Sky" is a sardonic kiss-off to an ex; "Eternal Sunshine" brims with anxiety that she might not keep in touch with her former lover's siblings. It's a breakup album; she reportedly split from Norwegian skier Nikolai Schirmer in 2022."
Since 2017 Sigrid has converted minor frustrations and relationship woes into fizzy, empowering pop with sticky hooks. Her breakthrough single "Don't Kill My Vibe" and follow-up "Don't Feel Like Crying" achieved over 100m Spotify streams and showcased chipper defiance and ABBA-esque disco strings. Born Sigrid Solbakk Raabe in Ålesund, she wraps complex emotions in shiny, synth-driven production. Her third album, There's Always More That I Could Say, channels anger and breakup themes, featuring a screaming album cover and singles like "Fort Knox", "Kiss The Sky" and "Eternal Sunshine". The record stems from a reported 2022 split and mixes sardonic bite with underlying vulnerability.
