This is an alternate version of Cecilia, recorded in 2009, mostly in the tour bus. Was just getting tired of the song, but at the same time getting to grips with the fact that the song was going to stick with me for a while. So might as well make a new version of it!

Cecilia Alternate Version

Theme from a short movie by Arild Østin Ommundsen called Plis.
The movie was about a North Korean that shipped himself in a wooden crate to Norway and was found by two idiots at a warehouse. It was funny and we wanted to take a very stupid view and make a funky little piece with the most sterotypical theme we could come up with that sounded "Asian".

Nite Sprite is a very talented young musician currently living in Stavanger. He has gotten great respons on this remix of From Grace while DJ'ing. The remix is a bootleg remix, meaning he has not had the individual tracks from the song, only the master stereo track. Impressive!!

From Grace (Nite Sprite Remix)

The result of a day in Chapel Studios, Woodstock 2009, with French actress and singer Melanie Laurent. I was in New York writing for my next album when I got a call from Melanie's label, asking if I would like to drive up to Woodstock and work with her a couple of days in the studio. I was ready for a break from writing in Manhattan and drove up. Unreleased track and a true b-side, there is something there, like a promise of something good, but it was never quite fulfilled. Music by me and Lyrics by Melanie

The track Excuse Me Brother was released on my album "Waiting For That One Clear Moment" in 2010. We never got clearance to use this sample from an American TV-show featuring Tim Buckley in time to use it on the album, but this was how it was supposed to be and now we have clearance to use it for the international release of the album:) The song is a tribute to Tim Buckley so I am very happy to be able to present it the way it was intended. Recorded by myself and co-producer Morten J. Olsen. Intro arranged by Morten. Mixed by Jørgen Træen at Duper Studio in Bergen.

Fire - La La Llama Remix

Oxygen is an honest, uplifting, minimalistic pop gem with a slow beat that goes straight to your heart. Recorded live in the studio, with an a-team of musicians, Rikke’s soft, soulful vocals delivers the lyrics in the most sincere way. Brilliantly written the song carries itself only by bass notes if it has to. With this track Rikke wants to put focus on mental health awareness and preventing suicide. Oxygen is originally written to a dear friend Rikke lost to suicide way too young, and to his girlfriend who was left behind to find him. It talks about wanting to help someone who cannot be saved. About wanting to be there for someone who needs. This song is written to those who find themselves in the darkest corners of life in hope of making life or maybe just a day a bit brigher.
Oxygen is Rikke’s 3rd single off the upcoming album “35”, due Feb 8 2019. 
Similar artists include Emilie Nicholas and Beady Belle.
