And then there are artists who, from time to time, make things downright difficult for themselves. But resistance, as we know, can also help create great art. Signe Marie Rustad chose to record her fifth studio album live – in one take – in front of a devoted audience at Oslo Concert Hall. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The finished result, Do You Know Something I Don’t, is yet another diamond in an already impressive catalog. As always, Rustad sounds fresh and new, this time with elements of 80s and 90s alternative rock, Californian folk, millennial R\u0026amp;B, and even touches of disco. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rustad is an uncompromising artist who has no interest in making the same record twice. When the process of recording and releasing new music began to feel like a straitjacket in the period following the release of Particles of Faith (2023), the need to shake things up arose. The singer-songwriter wanted to explore whether it was possible to bring the magical two-way communication that can happen between artist and audience during a concert into a studio setting: “I want to find out what the energy and love present in such a space can do to a studio album,” says Signe Marie Rustad. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rustad has received just about every accolade possible in Norway for her music. Her two previous albums on DWYBO Records received top ratings from the country’s biggest newspapers and earned a total of three Spellemann (Norwegian Grammy) nominations, with When Words Flew Freely (2019) winning the award in the Songwriter of the Year category. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The new album is produced by Rustad herself together with her long-time collaborator, Kenneth Ishak. In Oslo Concert Hall’s Lille Sal, with its adjoining studio, they were joined by Rustad’s regular band: Bjørge Verbaan (piano), Alexander Lindbäck (drums), Sander Eriksen Nordahl (guitar), and Njål Uhre Kiese (bass). Solveig Wang (Nothing Personal\/Fieh) – who cowrote three of the album’s tracks – played synth, Stine Andreassen (The Northern Belle\/Silver Lining) and Live Miranda Solberg (Louien\/Silver Lining) contributed backing vocals, and Ishak added percussion and vocals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With her latest album, Rustad demonstrates an artistic ambition on par with Norwegian stars such as Susanne Sundfør and Ane Brun. Do You Know Something I Don’t is a question without a question mark – it is a statement of fact. The listener is one half of the magic that arises in the music, whether in a sweaty concert venue or through headphones on the bus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “More than ever, it feels important to keep creating – and it’s especially meaningful to make something together with others. The album is a love letter to everyone who listens to my music, and it came to life with the help of everyone who was there with us in the hall that night.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tracklist \u003cbr\u003e1.
