With a stunning tone that is alternately haunting and enchanting, Norwegian singer-songwriter Kari Bremnes has been an enduring star in Scandinavia for decades. Often accompanied by piano, strings or acoustic guitar, she infuses her mannered, signature ballads with a superb voice full of power and intensity. In recent years, Bremnes has expanded her sound to include electronic production in the form of glacial, atmospheric melodies and gently rolling arrangements that serve her poetic lyrics well.
