Die norwegische Kult-Pop-Ikone DAGNY kommt mit ihrer zweiten Hälfte des Albums "Strangers/Lovers“ - nach ihren Vorboten aus dem von Fans langersehnten Debütalbum, dessen erste Hälfte am 22. Mai erschienen ist, läutet DAGNY jetzt die zweite Phase ein. Über 250 Songs hat DAGNY innerhalb der letzten 24 Monaten geschrieben. Eine unglaubliche Arbeitsmoral besitzt die junge Künstlerin und nun ist die Zeit für sie gekommen die Früchte ihrer Arbeit zu teilen.
DAGNY äußert sich zu ihrem Album wie folgt: “Very early on in the process of creating Strangers / Lovers, the themes of the songs made me think of it as a concept album,” says Dagny. “I wanted the listener to spend time with each side of the album, as both sides represent very different emotions”
Was die beiden Hälften auf dem Album unterscheidet, so meint DAGNY: “It’s mainly the lyrics that separate the two sides. Though I also tried to recreate the theme and the journey through the whole relationship within the music itself. On ‘Side A’, I think this is made clear by the fact that the production is very clean and polished. ‘Side B’ on the other hand possibly comes across as more of a “bumpy” ride. The gap between the emotions and the expressions in these songs also appears in the music. From the trivial, to the hurtful, to the naked and brutally honest, to “everything is going well with me”, to the despair, to the relief, to the melancholy. For me, the more stripped back songs in the second half therefore become a strength.”
