In the 12 intervening years he has been singing gospel and soul, has released two solo albums, played a host of concerts and appeared on popular TV shows. Now Knut Anders Sørum has a new release, which he has called \"Audiens 1:1\" [Audience 1:1].\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis time Knut Anders has chosen new sparring partners: Kjetil Bjerkestrand and Erik Hillestad, two Norwegian music industry doyens. They are cooperating on producing the new record, while Bjerkestrand is also responsible for the arrangements and programming, in addition to playing and tweaking numerous old analogue synths.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnut Anders has a formidable voice. And he writes good songs. He also sings soul in the Toten [rural district of Norway] dialect. In 2010 he released a highly personal album covering songs by Alf Prøysen, another Norwegian artist who performed in the Toten dialect. Two years later he released the album \"Ting flyt\"\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e[Things float], a critically-praised soul album sung in Norwegian. Now he has dared to take a new leap into more exploratory pop music with a touch of soul, both in his soaring vocals and as a source of inspiration for his melodic motifs. And he continues to sing in the Toten dialect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSørum believes that it is possible to raise important issues through the pop-music format. This is one of the reasons why he continues to sing in his native language, the language closest to his heart and the language that reaches his audience unfiltered. His lyrics deal with close relationships and the risk and uncertainty in encounters and situations where much is at stake. As the title suggests, several of the lyrics reveal Knut Anders’ confrontation with himself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn addition to Kjetil Bjerkestrand on various keyboards, the album features Johnny Sjo on bass, Torstein Lofthus on drums and Kjell Harald Litangen on guitar. On the track \"Stirrer rætt fram\" [Staring straight ahead] you will also hear Sofie Tollefsbøl in a vocal duet with Knut Anders. The production, released on the KKV label, has been recorded and mixed by Martin Abrahamsen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrack list:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
