Louien

Since her debut in 2019, Louien (Live Miranda Solberg) has steadily built her fanbase and momentum. Her hard work was recently rewarded with a nomination for a Spellemann award (Norwegian Grammy) for the album Figure Me Out. As a songwriter, Louien places herself in the upper echelons, as she effortlessly combines the melancholic with the grand – the gloomy with the melodic. During a busy summer of touring and recording, her songwriting has grown leaps and bounds, and on the upcoming album Every Dream I Ever Had, we hear an artist who has finally found her place. Louien has alwas been the solo project of Solberg, but on this album, she wanted to include her band more, and in that way make this a record where everyone could contribute creatively. Upon hearing the amazing result, it’s apparent that they accomplished what they set out to. Producer and guitar player Øyvind Røsrud Gundersen has been an important part of Louien’s sound from day one, but on Every Dream I Ever Had, bassist Ole Kirkeng and drummer Henrik Lødøen are given space and opportunities to shine. Every Dream I Ever Had exhibits all the facets of Louien, from the naked and sensitive, to the noisy and glorious. It contains tender verses, big melodies, delicate guitar picking and thundering drums, all in one. Every Dream I Ever Had was recorded in Brageveien Studio and Silence Studio, and is released on Jansen Records. It’s released on February 16th 2024.
