Who is Sigrid and Why is She the Next Big Thing in Music?

[DennisN]

I was looking for the previous "Best songs ever" thread, but it seems it is gone. So I boldly start a new one...

The very talented 21 year old Norwegian singer and songwriter Sigrid:

According to the book
Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness by Bruce Rosenblum, Fred Kuttner
page 125,
this is the best song ever for quantum physicists :

What a downer. Was it because of written content like lyrics? Because if it were to be about videos, then YouTube should have gotten it first.

I happen to have a sudden addiction to the song "Pray for me" written by Kendrick Lamar for the new Black Panther movie. The album has quite a few good songs. I'm usually not a hip-hop or rap fan, but the songs are mesmerising.

Otherwise I would listen to songs by KSHMR, R3hab, etc.

I simply cannot give one favorite song or artist.

Another song, powerful live performance:

I had to post this performance of "Strangers" by 21 year old Sigrid too,
because I actually got goose bumps on my neck during the two choruses in this performance
when I heard it a couple of minutes ago. It is not often this happens to me .
(she won BBC Music Sound of 2018).

And some music from my home country :
The powerful vocals of Marie Fredriksson/early Roxette in "Soul Deep" (1987):


EDIT:


Wow, I found a rare live clip with an amazing performance of the song here (starts at 2:45)

Here's my favorite version of a well known song:

 

[Fig Neutron]

There are so many good songs. I don't know what to choose, but I think Boston would have to be my favorite. I typically like classic and alternative rock with a few random songs sprinkled in.

I like this song. Its really cute.

This Requiem of Spirit version is too epic for this world.

Before there was Duran Duran, there was one of the most highly-underrated band: Japan. I worn out the LP with this track that I imported from the UK. This tune is still in my regular rotation when I do any long-distance driving.

I know I've posted songs from Sigrid in this thread before, but I had to add these two live performances I recently saw,
because they are so good and practically flawless...
From the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, Dec 2017, songs "Dynamite" and "Strangers":

Paul Simon wrote this about Garfunkel going off to make a film while he was trying write & record an album

The harmonies are beautiful, ethereal and all with 60s technology

For the kids born in the 90's, how can you not cry with this?

(DragonBall GT main theme)

 

[BWV]

The harmonies are beautiful, ethereal and all with 60s technology

Well harmony is after all, a 17-18th century technology
