Description
OSLO SESSION RECORDINGS.
This critically acclaimed duo made their debut in 2018 with the album 'Last things' on Oslo Session Recordings (OSR003 & OSR003LP), which received international praise.
For the duo's 'Chasing Sunset' album, singer Siril Malmedal Hauge has this time around contributed as a lyricist and composer on three tracks, including the title song; 'Chasing Sunsets, 'Time, and the jazzy ballad 'Wake Up', that also features tenor-sax-great Knut Riisnæs as special guest.
Jazz guitarist Jacob Young is known for his three albums as a leader on ECM ('Evening Falls', 'Sideways' and 'Forever Young'), as a sideman with Manu Katche, Karin Krog, Sidiki Camara and as the driving force behind the label Oslo Session Recordings. On 'Chasing Sunsets' he has wrote three new songs, which feature him as both guitarist and singer.
The album consists of three vocal duets where Siril's vocals blends with Jacobs voice; check out the sonic adventurous feel on tracks; 'How Can I Advise You', 'The Ceiling' and 'High Alert'. The remaining songs are gems from the popular music canon, with surprises like the cover of the famed Norwegian Pop Anthem of the north, 'The Lovesong' (Kjærlighetsvisa), written by Halvdan Sivertsen and sung in English for the first time. Other gems include the Burt Bacharach/Hal David classic 'I Say A Little Prayer', and other well-known masterpieces such as 'You are So Beautiful' and 'My Ideal'.
