It All Starts With One is the fourth studio album from Norwegian (and honorary Swede) Ane Brun . Moving on from the more folky sound that accompanied her early releases, Brun has made the record of her career, so far - one that marks her out as the queen of high-quality Scandinavian pop. Guest appearances from First Aid Kit , Jose Gonzales and even Lykke Li 's drummer Per Eklund punctuate the record but it remain's [...]

Norwegian songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Ane Brun recently released It All Starts With One , her first studio album in over three years. This record follows up on her highly praised 2008 album Changing of the Seasons and, while it generally moves in the same emotionally-charged territory, it shows a clear evolution for the artist. Produced by her Tobias Fröberg, It All Starts With One showcases a fuller, more orchestral sound, as well as some of the most immediate melodies in Brun's career. [...]
October means we're happily knee-deep in baseball, surrounded by seasonal pumpkin ales, and, regrettably, wrist-deep in the slimy insides of jack-o-lanterns. Music has been my quiet oasis. I figure it's high time I stop futzing over my autumn mix and share it already. The fall mix is one of my favorites to make. In addition to being generally hyperaware of everything around me in life, especially subtexts and undercurrents, I notice an acute sharpening of my senses every time the seasons change. It's why I make you guys these seasonal mixes: as everything in the natural world [...]
You may feel as though there's already enough love in your heart for all things Scandinavian, but if you can clear the clutter from an atrium here or a ventricle there, you'd be wise to usher in Ane Brun or perhaps more precisely, It All Starts With One. Produced by the inconceivably gifted Tobias Fröberg (responsible for the lavish orchestration that gushes throughout) and backed by a slew of influential artists from that ethereal land that hangs over central Europe, Brun's latest work is a painstakingly crafted, achingly heartbreaking affair, and one [...]

This is one of those goose bump-raising moments. Norwegian chanteuse covers Bjork's "Joga" right in front of the icon in tribute. Dare we say, her vocals serve the song better. But comparison aside, this is plain lovely. Filed under: Beats , Clip , Icelandia , Scandi Tagged: ane , Björk , brun , joga , live , mp3 , watch
Peter Gabriel toured with an 46-piece orchestra last summer, and he was so stoked on the live permutations of the songs that he piled the orchestra into the studio with him to rerecord a number of his hits with new arrangements. To prep you for the release of New Blood , we've got the premiere of three songs from the record: "Don't Give Up", "Digging in the Dirt," and "Darkness." ("Don't Give Up" that features Ane Brun doing Kate Bush's part.) It's great to hear Gabriel pop back in again in a contemporary landscape as his music has generated [...]

Det är nog många, både bland fans och kritiker, som utbrister ”äntligen” nu när Ane Brun släpper sin nya, uppskjutna skiva, It All Starts With One. Många som med spänning spetsar öronen för att höra i vilken riktning hon tagit sitt från början rätt traditionella singer-songwriterkoncept, men jag måste erkänna direkt att jag inte är en utav dem. Jag har aldrig riktigt fallit för hennes röst som så ofta beskrivits med superlativ och i upprymda ordalag, är den inte lite väl ansträngd? Manierad? Är det bara jag? Skivan har en sparsmakat luftig, stämningsfullt dramatisk och smått spartansk produktion [...]

As I said earlier on my personal twitter (@OnCherryStreet), "If the apocalypse started today I can confidently say that I could be satisfied with the music I have on my ipod right now..." And part of what makes that statement true is a little lady named Ane Brun. I don't know what it is but [...]
This is our favorite song as of now. Great number, great vocals and greater arrangement. We wish we could understand what she said in the beginning though. The new album, It All Starts With One, comes out next month and we are waiting for it like its a Mariah Carey album.

Everyone knows Norway's Ane Brun can bring a melancholy winter like no one can. She can bring up down from the highest tops, just listen to any of her album cuts and you will want to slit something. Some downer songs are lovely, but Ane Brun has decided to take her artistic vision to a new level and explore some more upbeat rhythms. on "Do You Remember" Ane Brun divorces sadness in a quest for some foot-tapping goodness. Of course, the biggest draw has stayed the same - that layered voice. The vocals on this track make the song. The [...]
Expect a hearty, hollow percussion nudged mingling together of jungle, pop and soul for Ane Brun’s fourth studio album. If this meditative, atmospheric lead single, ‘Do You Remember’ is anything to go by? This reflective songstress slots her hovering vocals into line with the gospel, slightly tribal and distanced backing cries, as well as the ambient percussive touch. ‘One Last Try’’, represents an instrumental shift towards seeping keys, allowing this sincere songstress to instil a more chatty edge to her vocals, as she talks of an emotional dilemma. Poetic longing dominates the lyrics and its impact is helped [...]
We have been waiting for Ane Brun to get back as soon as possible and this is very worth the wait. We love this song and can't get enough of it, the vocals on it are impeccable and the sound is fresh and new from Ane. Lovely return for the Norwegian damsel, let's hope the album is just as cool.

" Ane's music is like a great ocean housed under the roof of a great old theater," says longtime Ane Brun video director Magnus Renfors , "where pictures are hung from the threads of the music shooting out, so it really does the job itself. That said, the images require a certain height at a substantively dramatic level, otherwise the music, sometimes so sublime and skin tingling, can rush over the head of the visual aspects." New song/video "Do You Remember" -- taken from her forthcoming [...]
Ane Brun's voice has to be one of the most hypnotic voices out there. Her songs are the kind that make you want to stop everything you're doing and just listen. This is the first single off her upcoming album due out this fall. The backup vocals are sung by the sisters of First Aid Kit, one of my favorite bands from last year.
