Release date: 04-10-2017
2017 EU issue clear vinyl LP- This new album by Ane Brun, her 7th, comes from a romantic mixtape she made for a new lover. That relationship did not last long, but now there is Leave Me Breathless, on which the Norwegian chanteuse sings fourteen love songs of others. In addition, she shows guts, because some of the chosen songs are greyed-out evergreens where entire generations (including themselves of course) have grown up, such as I Want To Know What Love Is (Foreigner), Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers), Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell ) and Hero (Mariah Carey).
In addition, Leave Me Breathless (the title is taken from Maria McKee's Show Me Heaven) bold covers from How To Disappear Completely (Radiohead), Into My Arms (Nick Cave) and Right On Time (Lucinda Williams).
Musically Ane Brun is not as innovative here as on her beautiful previous album (When I'm Free from 2015), but she has made all fourteen songs completely in her own.
