Two decades into her career, Norways Ane Brun has come a long way from busking other peoples songs on the streets of Barcelona. And yet, in some respects, not that far after all. Now a much-loved singer-songwriter in her own right, with ten studio albums and multiple awards to her name, Brun continues to lend her singularly expressive voice and intuitive feel for melody to the fine art of the cover version. In Bruns hands, even songs that feel untouchable are brought close and revealed in a new and intimate light. Whether reimagining Beyoncs all-conquering Halo with a cello quartet arrangement by Linnea Olsson, or bringing a ghostly fragility to Radioheads How To Disappear Completely, she dives in undaunted, seeking out the emotional core of each song and working outwards from there. Portrayals gathers together for the first time twelve of Bruns most popular covers, plus a previously unreleased version of the Rodgers & Hart standard Blue Moon. Collectively streamed over 250 million times on Spotify and featured on film soundtracks, adverts, and landmark TV series such as Normal People and Peaky Blinders, Bruns reworkings move in tender, unforgettable, and often startling ways. Portrayals is the first in a series of planned 2023 releases to mark the 20th anniversary of her debut album, Spending Time With Morgan. Covers have been such a big part of my career, says Brun. Its almost a career in itself. It has its own dynamic. I wanted to celebrate that by giving these songs their own space.A stately, graceful and gorgeous meditation - Metro A phenomenal record.
