Hanne Kolstø will be releasing her 8th album in 2018, and here is the second single «E vi åleine». 

Kolstø is an artist who enjoys to be in constant movement, and «Is» has a rougher and more hip hop-like sound than the songs on her last album, «Fest Blikket». She’s almost been living a nomadic lifestyle during the last few years, and she enjoys great contrasts, like when she moved from the southern Norwegian idyll Kristiansand to the edge of the sea at Lofoten in the north, or when she moved to Switzerland and then back again to Oslo. Now she commutes between the alps in Sykkylven and the forest cottage in Follo‘s flat terrain. Of course, this rootless existence contributes to colouring her music, and it has given her valuable inspiration throughout her career.

The minimalistic living standard at Hanne‘s present home, in the little cottage by the fjord, without running water or electricity, has apparently helped her even more with getting inspiration, and the songs are pouring out of her at an even more sporadic pace than they’ve done before. 

Hanne Kolstø hasn’t «gone hip hop», if anyone should be concerned about that. But her sound is tougher and has a brighter beat, and at the same time the chorus is chilly and irrestistible.This is a change that suits the artist Hanne Kolstø very well. As usual she’s worked with her producer, guitarist and partner Øyvind Røsrud Gundersen – a collaboration that has gone in all directions since her debut album, «Riot Break», from 2011. Together they continue pushing each other and constantly working towards a new album and a new sound.

A Lamb, A Dove

In this age of connectivity, for all its celebration and wonderment, it seems impossible to not be just as affected by the suffering of others, whether those in trouble are close to you or not. Every day our papers are filled with heart-breaking stories of loss due to natural causes, forced displacement, ill physical and/or mental health, or, indeed, victimisation at the hands of others. ‘Love Yourself’ is a song about all of these things - drawing primarily from my own experiences. My intention when I wrote the song was to try and deliver hope in the face of hopelessness, albeit during a moment of deep self-reflection.

Like many of us, I, too, have suffered from loss on a deeply personal level, with no training manual on hand to help me navigate such challenging times. When I was 18 my mom passed away under very sudden and sad circumstances, and 6 years ago my wife and I were devastated to have lost our unborn child at just over 20 weeks. More recently, back home in Tennessee, my father died quite unexpectedly, leaving a void in my life that is still painfully difficult to comprehend and come to terms with. Throughout all of these dark moments, I have travelled through a vast array of emotions – grief, blame, regret, anger, hopelessness, acceptance – never in any discernible order, and never predictably. Thankfully my wife and I have truly wonderful people in our lives who have helped us cope with these moments of deep despair, not least my wonderful band members in The Boxer Rebellion, with whom Love Yourself was brought to life.

All those I have lost during my formative years are people who have been a significant part of me. It’s something that I’ve had to come to terms with - anything from blaming myself for their demise, to simply missing their voices on the other end of a phone call. What makes this song strange is that it was written before my father’s passing and thus I have found a great deal of solace from words I had penned in the past.


I’ve always enjoyed writing songs that are cathartic, especially when they are able, often accidentally, to provide some form of relief to others. ‘Love Yourself’, in particular, means a great deal to me because loving yourself, accepting your flaws and appreciating your best, doesn’t always come easy.

It’s good to have a reminder.

Nathan Nicholson, The Boxer Rebellion.
