Rebekka Bakken is a fantastic, unique and unmistakably Nordic singer, whose pure, bell-like voice soars from the highest heights to the most sensual lows. The Norwegian vocalist is also a storyteller. 'As soon as there are words, it is all about the lyrics. As singers, we are only the delivery girls', she has been quoted as saying - a gross understatement in her case. She has mastered the art of putting the spotlight on the song itself, letting it shine in colourful light, while never hiding behind the song. Whether Rebekka Bakken sings her own songs, or songs by Ludwig Hirsch or Tom Waits, rock music or intimate ballads, whether accompanied by herself on a piano, a rock band, or a big band, her iconic voice is immediately recognisable. It goes right under the skin, into the belly and head and directly to the heart. During any concert, Bakken provides her audience with plenty of goose bump moments to savour.
