Snowstorms

Snø is song that Jørn Åleskjær wrote for our project Sapphire & Steel, based on Norwegian bestselling novel Snø Vil Falle Over Snø Som Har Falt. He put the beautiful lyrics together with the help of novelist Levi Henriksen himself. We hope you like it as much as he does!

Snø is a song about melting on all levels, especially "defrosting" those whose heart was hardened by life’s misfortunes. It’s about stripping layers of protection and guise so we can learn how to breathe again.

Snø (Vil Falle Over Snø Som Har Falt)

Evelina is just a girl. You will pass her by on the street without noticing.
She is beyond care.

A bittersweet tune that hangs somewhere in between classic janglepop,  contemporary dreampop and a dash of sophisticated 80's pop.

Evelina

The first Susan sketch that Jørn sent reminded Stella of a smooth soul track from the 70's by The Brotherhood of Man called "Moving With Susan" and we took it from there...
Have we moved on since the 70's?

Susan

Rumours was inspired by Fleetwood Mac, and the initial lyric sketch was made by Jorn's brother Ole sitting in bar in NY looking at the cocktail menu.

Rumours

Home was written during the start of Covid when we were stuck at home but not so unhappy about it. It has the enveloping warmth of a home but also something unsettling and eerie about it.

Sapphire and Steel’s “Assigment I” EP is a retro pop project of Jørn Åleskjær and Estella Rosa, and the result of bouncing ideas back ’n forth between Norwegian woods and Dutch polders for the past 3 years.

The theme of their name and EP is inspired by the late 70s sci-fi series Sapphire & Steel, with Joanna Lumley and David McCallum.
