RATING THE SONGS
1. Kom Sommarvind - 8/10. Really like the instrumental, the lyrics are amazing aswell.
2. Vise i Mai. - 5/10. I've listened to enough 17 Mai (Norwegian Independence day) specials and this is not that good. Helene made a 17 mai song 10 years after this album, and it is amazing. You could tell that Helene improved from this song there.
3. Den Svalde vind - 8/10. The beginning was meh but I love the ending and middle.
4. Ikkon - 10/10. This song has been one of my favorites for MONTHS. I love this song so much.
5. Denne Uro - 5/10. Very sad. Ik some people might consider me to be a Hypocript because on the next few ratings of the song, but this song is not it.
6. Var Jag er Vind - 10/10. Helene's voice in Danish sounds amazing. I really love the lyrics and I am in love with the music video as well.
7. På Trammen - 8/10. Very Relaxing, It gives off Norwegian-American vibes for some reason
8. Slängs polska - 9/10. Ik Polkas are mostly supposed to be instrumental, and even thought I like lyrics the instrumental is AWESOME. indeed a 9/10
9. Svansles Sang - 7/10. Reminds me of like 2000s pop which is kinda what this album is. Overall I really like the instrumental as well
10. Brudemarsj Fra sørfold - 6/10. Very relaxing, however because it is instrumental and because it is not an original song I give it a 6/10.
11. Gje Meg Handa - 4/10. pretty boring, not like the other songs. also wayy too long. IT IS 8 MINUTES-
OVERALL RATING : 7/10.
anyways, I might do more of these album reviews. if this gets 3 upvotes Im gonna make this weekly!
btw the next album Im reviewing is Olmmai by Maiken Kemi.
