Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Marthe Halvorsen Releases New Song “For the Dreamers & the Bold”
Norwegian indie folk singer-songwriter Marthe Halvorsen released a new song “For the Dreamers & the Bold” on November 25, 2022.
The song is the title track and first single her upcoming sophomore album, which is expected to be released in Spring 2023.
She recorded the song at MixArt Studios in Montreal.
The track was written by Marthe Halvorsen and co-produced by Francois Jalbert.
Marthe Halvorsen said of the song, “This song came to me at a time when I was feeling a bit frustrated with humanity and the society that I was living in. I felt that the social political climate was getting more and more harsh, and more and more polarized, creating distance between people. I was longing for another reality with more nuances. I wanted this song to feel like a warm blanket of hope in what sometimes feels like a crazy world.”- She continued, “Sonically I wanted the music to reflect upon the lyrics of the song, representing both the dreamy and the bold at the same time. I wanted it to feel like a counterpoint to a world that is running very fast and to give space for contemplation. There is a certain innocence to the song, while at the same time it is reflecting upon some very serious matters. I really like how the double bass and the drums give that grounding feeling to the song, while the more dreamy aspect of the electric guitars lies floating on the top of that. Sort of like the idea that any thought or intention also needs substance and action to actually make something happen and mean something in the real world.”

The new album is the first LP in five years since the 2018 debut album “All Is in the Seed”
She said of the album, “On this new album, I have been diving deeper into the producer role, spending time crafting and perfecting my sound. As a woman in the music industry, it is important for me to be in charge of my own sound, and I feel very honored to work with some very talented collaborators who are all helping me bring my vision to life.” - source : Apple Music
