21 year old Norwegian singer/songwriter Sigrid has released the first single from her upcoming collection of new songs. ‘Raw’, takes on a slightly different direction than her previous works; as the title suggests the song is stripped back and relaxed, quite the opposite of the catchy energetic synth-pop she’s so used to.
After coming first in BBC’s Sound of 2018 and selling out her UK and US tour, the young star has high expectations which may well have been met with this new release. Starting out with innocently high-pitched vocals and cute staccato guitar plucking, the song crescendos into a toe-tapping catchy chorus that, despite the slightly unimaginative lyrics, remind us that any new Sigrid material is definitely something to look out for.
