One of Norway’s most beautiful voices is out with a new album. Now Britt-Synnøve Johansen comes to Visebasaren.
Kveldslys — taste the word: evening light. The day fades, darkness falls, but there is still light — warm, soft, and gentle.
Britt-Synnøve Johansen is the petite woman with the powerful voice and a rare gift for emotional expression. She has sung Édith Piaf in Norwegian, tango in Norwegian, and performed her own and others’ songs filled with deep emotion.
On her new release Kveldslys, the mood is calmer; the lyrics are mature, wistful, and reflective. Yet it remains warm — and endlessly beautiful. Like an evening bathed in soft light.
Kveldslys was recorded live with highly skilled and dedicated musicians. The result is a tender, intimate, and honest album. Musically, it belongs in the Norwegian folk song tradition but also reaches toward French chanson, jazz, and Americana — all at once.
Britt-Synnøve is known for captivating her audience, and with Kveldslys she is once again ready to share songs and stories that everyone can relate to.
Joining her this evening is her absolute favorite pianist, Rasmus Solem.
