For @Barking Spiders and possible others, Dagny is another young Norse artist, here with orchestra.
Some cracking pop songs amongst those, IMHO.

If I understand correctly, this footage should play wherever you are.

Some very lovely, skillful arrangements going on there.

Aren't they just!
Of the songs I know, I tend to prefer this orchestra version above the album version.

Five people did these, and I notice that at least four of them compose, arrange and perform in several realms: classical, jazz and pop.
The last one, Thomas Kongshavn, is the guitar player and oft co-composer in Dagny's band. I don't know more of him.

In the unlikely case someone wants to know more about one or more of these composers/arrangers, here are their names:
1  Come over:   Petter Winroth

2  Backbeat:   Jan Martin Smørdal
3  Please look at me:   Aleksander Waaktaar (off.  Aleksander Sinding-Larsen Waaktaar)

4  Drink about:   Waaktaar

5  Bye Bye Baby:   Smørdal

6  Love you like that:   Winroth

7  Somebody:   Lars Andreas Aspesæter

8  Tension:   Winroth,   Thomas Kongshavn

9  Fool's gold:   Waaktaar
10  Coast to coast:   Aspesæter

New Corinne Baile… no honestly, come back: New Corinne Bailey Rae.

 

Try 'Erasure' (track 3) for example. It's not what you were expecting!

Yes, heard her new Punk incarnation on 6 Music a couple of weeks back. Not a fan, but fair play to her, especially after what she has been through.

Enjoyed this performance on Later last night. Allison Russell. Not sure what genre to suggest. Off to explore more of her work.

My son introduced me to NZ band Leisure on our long drive home from Newcastle. Sort of more mellow Jamiroquai vibe. Lovely bass playing. Not their best track, but they seem to self release their own stuff, so more stuff on Bandcamp etc.

I'm really liking this new tune from Bruce Dickinson … Rain on the Graves.

It's interesting I like this because for the most part I'm not an Iron Maiden fan, but I do like the Tattooed Millionaire album (excluding that All the Young Dudes cover, which I thought was awful) that Bruce did in the '90s.

That's one hell of a line up.
