The Norwegian alt-pop artist Iris Caltwait (formerly known as iris) was named Årets Urørt (Newcomer of the Year) in 2019. Since then, she has released two critically acclaimed EPs and a debut album, and has amassed more than 50 million streams.
In 2025, Iris Caltwait has finally released new music for the first time since 2022. Singles from her second album, Again, for the first time, have so far delighted both press and fans, been playlisted on Norway’s largest radio stations, and received broad support from streaming services worldwide. In August, she featured on the cover of the global playlist All New Pop, and the August single “rodeo” was handpicked by Spotify Editors as one of the best tracks of the month.
In 2019, Iris toured with AURORA as a special guest on her Norway and European tour, and collaborated with her and Askjell on the track “Sofia”. That same year, she played several key industry festivals such as SPOT, The Great Escape and Eurosonic, building a strong international fanbase. She has received international attention from media outlets including Wonderland Magazine, DMY and The Line of Best Fit, which described her as “one of alt-pop’s most captivating new voices”.
With two acclaimed EPs, a strong debut album and millions of streams, Iris is establishing herself as one of the most exciting new voices in pop. In November, Again, for the first time is released—this is your chance to experience it live.
