Description
Two leading Norwegian jazz artists have put together an excellent album with just a microphone and a grand piano. On 'Movies & Stories Like This' they present nine self-composed songs about intangible love. Hilde Louise's voice is elegantly accompanied by Anders Arums, they cover everything from bolero and tango to French waltz and jazz ballads. Piaf, Brell and Weill are evident sources of inspiration.
Hilde Louise's lyrics span both the minor and the major kinds of love, from everyday relationships, the ones about which no films are made, but nevertheless carry with great drama, to the big love stories.
Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen has released 11 albums since 2004 and continues to be an important part of the Norwegian jazz scene. Her previous album 'Red Lips, Knuckles and Bones' was released on Ozella Music to great reviews. She has been described as "three parts Monroe and one part Holiday", and has nurtured an extensive career as a cabaret- artist and a musical actress. Her latest solo performance and book by the name of 'Stardust' is a tribute to 8 female legends from last century. The show is a great success in Norway, and is to visit Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023.
