About Me


Another chapter of the ongoing story about Jørn Hoel unfolds... Jørn Hoel is back with a new album "På Grunn Av Dæ" and it is considered by many as his best studio-album ever. "På Grunn Av Dæ" was released Oct.10, 2007 and is Jørn Hoels 10. studio album. A Playground Music release recorded in WH Studio in Oslo. Playground and WH Studio continue to cooperate on an independent basis and they represent nothing but high quality-music. This album is no exception. Handcrafted to the bone, with Norway's finest, top-shelf musicians, Jørn convincingly guide us through the everlasting contrasts of life and it's eternal, re-appearing subject; LOVE - Served on a bed of blues-marinade, pop-soul grooves, true Jørn Hoel style, topped with a brand-new recipe of soul mixture with a hint of ballads and a surprise duet on the side. Hoel is constantly renewing his sound and although he still pays great respect to his musical roots he is sufficiently contemptuous to the sound and traditions to cross a few boundaries and make new, exiting and very refreshing musical crossovers. This time around he brought some friends with him to add a different hue to an already picture perfect album. Tungtvann's JØRG1 shoot sparks and spike this musically long-drink. He removes any doubt one might or might not have and provides crystal-clear evidence that, despite age, culture or musical preference; we all get our fuel from the same source; LOVE - The mix sweetens several notches when young Monica Nordli polish our senses and contribute with more evidence of the above mentioned as she so beautifully underlines the common denominator, yet again; LOVE - Jørn Hoel himself delivers his 10. album on the subject and he reveals himself as an dead-honest and insightful artist with room for at least ten more albums, if not more. Hoel is nothing less than a corner stone in Norwegian music industry with over two decades behind him and he has provided us with numerous songs that touch our souls and stick to our minds. And more than often throughout the years have norwegians tied the laces of their dancing-shoes as a result of his music. "På Grunn Av Dæ" fulfill all of these descriptions. And more to it... Stig Nilsson's lyrics is brought to life, as Jørn Hoel's characteristic, soft, sand-paper voice work it's magic and weave the impulsive and ever-present erotic undertones ever so delicately together with the life-experienced backdrop of wisdom. Always on the edge, where life comes alive, Jørn keeps the tension carefully balanced in a manner only true performers can manage. Elegantly and trustworthy. Confident and loose, he reveals himself as CATEGORY A, still crazy after all these years. Now tell me: Why are you still reading this? Still got questions in mind? Read from the top and repeat until the answer to the previous question is: "Where can I buy it?" Then find out where, and do so. Thank you for your attention.
