Kristin Asbjørnsen - Kristin Asbjørnsen//Godt å komme hjem

Finally Kristin is making her own Norwegian-language songs available and is also opening new vistas in her multi-faceted music universe.
“Good to come home” is a song that swings along carried by a band playing mellifluous and uplifting music in a groove inspired by African music.
The song imparts a feeling of togetherness and of a welcoming home borne by the special presence of Kristin’s voice.
Strongly melodious and poetic, the voices are woven together with rich worlds of guitars, piano, calabass and kora in an illuminating and tumbling soundscape, both close and powerful.
The song rises from Kristin’s piano and blossoms through her close collaboration with Olav Torget, Eivind Aarset and Anders Engen, and with Suntou Susso (kora and vocals) and Monica Ifejilika (vocals) as important supporting voices.
Kristin Asbjørnsen has been one of the most original and critically-praised voices on the Norwegian music scene over the
last 30 years. Through a number of album releases and years of international concert tours her artistic expression has reaped an overwhelming response.
The new songs in Norwegian have already gained much praise as parts of the material were performed under Kristin’s commissioned work for Cosmopolite Scene 2022.
The album is Kristin’s first release on the KKV label.
