“Siril Malmedal Hauges andre album er dristigere enn debuten, og etablerer henne i toppen av norsk musikk i 2021 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐” - Dagsavisen
Wooden Hotel
'Wooden Hotel' is the first single from my new album 'Slowly, slowly' coming out 7th of may, 2021
In Wooden Hotel you'll hear the wandering rhythms from the urban chaos, along the blue river to the green hotel where the rooms have no keys. A place where time passes slowly and we feel one of the most important things in life; presence. In Wooden Hotel the impressions are many, and the colors are inspiring. Join the tour - there are always rooms in Wooden Hotel.
Scent of Lilac
2nd single from "Slowly, slowly"
After a long winter, we break out of our shells and see all the life that is about to spring up around us. A bud can suddenly be a flower the next day. It is a symbol of changes, hope and new beginnings. The feeling is described by dropping the handlebar for just a few seconds while biking downhill. The feeling of absolute presence and absorbing all the details around you when you let your body lead. Follow the rhythm and trust your flow. Then you become present. Among the Scent of Lilacs.
Uncharted Territory
1ST ALBUM: UNCHARTED TERRITORY
"Uncharted Territory" is a perfect blend of pop energy and accessibility with jazz, and singer-songwriter sensibilities, bursting with melodic freshness. Featuring Siril's beautiful, clear and expressive voice, the songs balance commercial exuberance with intelligence, both musically and lyrically. Themes both weighty and feather-light are given the appropriate treatments and settings. The moods are many, with variations of light and shade, but a sense of positivity glistens from every song. The instrumentation is broadly that of a classic rock ensemble, with relaxed but skilful playing and an old-school vibe to the recording process that eliminates the digitally quantized dehumanizing aspects of so many releases this past number of years. Consequently, the resulting album is an organic musical entity, with every song, every phrase, and every note as alive as it should be.
