With her unique voice and personal songwriting, REBEKKA BAKKEN has created a loyal and wide fan base as an extraordinary singer from Norway, and with her new album "Things You Leave Behind" she presents her most personal and multi-layered work. Rebekka Bakken presents herself as an extraordinarily mature singer and songwriter. The album title marks both a new beginning and a retrospective.
An enthusiastic audience and a gushing press are at her feet (FAZ: "erotic to the tips of your hair", Die Welt: "unerhört gut", Süddeutsche Zeitung: "a voice that leaves you speechless").
Rebekka Bakken's voice moves effortlessly from rough, smoky sounds to clear, bright tones. Her music draws on influences from rock, pop, chanson, jazz and folk music and ranges from intimate, minimalist songs to extended, energetic outbursts. Ulrich Olshausen in the FAZ: "The four-octave voice, the delicate, controlled vibrato, sometimes used only like a register, the almost whistling high notes, the rich depth, the sovereign technique, all this is in the service of a phenomenal radiance."
The Norwegian writes and sings from deep conviction, without inhibitions or inner censorship, instinctively and openly - which is perhaps the reason why as a listener one feels immediately addressed and understood by her lyrics. She shows herself to be a strong and individual voice in the best sense of the great singer/songwriter tradition. Her albums and concerts are like journeys where you never know exactly what is waiting for you around the next corner. "I have my own style and I always penetrate deeper into my world, a never ending journey ."
