Sigrid's Most Fun Album Yet: From Shy Pianist to Pop Powerhouse!

Sigrid, the Norwegian pop singer-songwriter, is known for her energetic performances and catchy songs. She has long light brown hair and often wears casual outfits like green t-shirts and denim jeans when she is on stage. Behind her, you might see a band with a bass guitarist and a drum set, creating a lively atmosphere. Despite her success performing at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Roskilde, and Reading and Leeds, Sigrid describes herself as an introvert. This might surprise fans who see her confidently singing in front of huge crowds. Sigrid explains that she was very shy as a child and did not enjoy being the center of attention. She remembers a time when her parents had to pick her up from school because she cried during a group performance, which disturbed the other children.

For Sigrid, the piano became a safe space. She says the piano is an introvert instrument because you face away from the audience and focus on the keys. Sigrid would sing into the piano, creating her own world where she felt comfortable and protected. Over time, she grew more confident and now feels most herself when she is on stage. Sigrid loves live music because it allows her to be in control and do what she enjoys without too much distraction. She prefers to keep things simple and focus on her performance. Her upcoming third album, 'There's Always More That I Could Say,' is described as an energetic extrovert album with introvert lyrics. Sigrid recently released 'Fort Knox,' the second single from the album, which she says captures the energy and emotion of the new record. The song is both angry and joyful, and Sigrid finds it liberating to express her feelings through music.

Looking back, Sigrid feels she had a crash-course in growing up. She started her music career by writing her first email to a record label. Although she enrolled in a politics course at university, she left after three weeks to pursue music full-time. The year before her breakout single 'Don't Kill My Vibe' was a valuable learning experience. Sigrid trained herself to finish a song every day, traveling between London and Norway and spending most of her time writing music. The pressure to create hit songs was intense, and she sometimes felt overwhelmed by the need to produce quantity over quality. For her new album, Sigrid changed her approach and worked with her producer to reduce stress. She wrote many songs in parks and coffee shops, allowing the music to develop naturally. Sigrid believes this new process is reflected in the album and says, 'I've never had this much fun recording an album before. ' She is excited to share her new music with fans and hopes they will connect with the energy and honesty in her songs.
