Silje Nergaard

After three albums sung in English, Silje returned to Norway to release two self-produced albums in her native tongue. "Brevet" ("The Letter", 1995), continued the engaging mix of country and pop, with the edge of jazz, featuring lyrics by some of Norway's most respected writers. "Hjemmefra" ("From Home", 1996) featured Silje with an 8-piece male vocal group consisting of members from the vocal group Gli Scapoli, the internationally acclaimed male choir. This recording revealed a new, innovative direction for Silje in its use of unusual vocal harmonies and in the experimentation of vocal textures. These albums were released on the Norwegian Kirkelig Kulturverksted label.

And not to forget: the Hong Kong artist Cass Phang recorded the song "Brevet" for an album and single released in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and China.

Some of the best textwriters in Norway have contributed. Silje has written all the melodies. And she did very well. If you like to check out norwegian talent. Jan Eggum, is by far the best we have to offer. He wrote one of the lyrics on this album. I i could decide what she should do. Stop focusing so much on singing jazz standards, and write her own music. She is talented.
