Norwegian folk duo Konradsen is set to captivate audiences once again with their upcoming album, Michael's Book on Bears, scheduled for release on March 8, 2024, via 777 Music. Today, the duo unveils another gem from the collection, a breathtaking single titled "Michael."

In this latest release, Jenny's ethereal vocals take center stage, accompanied by the subtle yet soul-stirring notes of a gentle saxophone, expertly guiding the song's emotional journey. The duo provides a glimpse into the thematic depth of "Michael," explaining that the track paints vivid scenes from childhood, delving into the complex interplay between the light and dark memories that shape our lives. The song also grapples with the yearning for a decisive choice of path. Notably, the intricate string arrangement by Aleksander Waaktaar (known for his work with girl in red, Dagny, Astrid S) adds an extra layer of enchantment to the musical narrative, perfectly capturing the essence of the lyrical journey.
