ANE BRUN – PORTRAYALS

In the two decades of her career, Norwegian Ane Brun has come a long way since performing other people’s songs on the streets of Barcelona. Today she is a popular singer-songwriter with ten studio albums and numerous awards to her name. With her unique, expressive voice and her intuitive feel for melodies, she continues the fine art of the cover version. In Brun’s hands, even songs that feel untouchable are brought closer and shown in a new and intimate light. Whether she’s reimagining Beyoncé’s triumphant “Halo” with a cello arrangement by Linnea Olsson or bringing a ghostly fragility to Radiohead’s “How To Disappear Completely,” she fearlessly dives in, seeking out the emotional core of each song and working from there . Portrayals brings together for the first time twelve of Brun’s most popular covers, as well as a previously unreleased version of the Rodgers & Hart standard “Blue Moon”. Streamed over 250 million times on Spotify and featured in film soundtracks, commercials and groundbreaking television series such as Normal People and Peaky Blinders, Brun’s edits move in delicate, memorable and often startling ways. Portrayals is the first in a series of planned releases in 2023 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album Spending Time With Morgan. “Covers are an important part of my career,” says Brun. “It’s almost its own career. It has its own dynamic. I wanted to celebrate that by giving these songs their own space.”
