Music Jar – week 5

Each week, I listen to a different artist, the names drawn at random from a pickle jar. This week was the turn of Norwegian synth-pop star, Sigrid.

I knew nothing of Sigrid before the start of this week but am really pleased to have found a new favourite musician. Her only album, Sucker Punch, is full of verified electronica bangers. It’s been an album that I have been turning to when out on a run as well as something fun to have on in the background while I’m working or cooking.

For me, the go to songs on this new favourite album include Sucker Punch, Level Up and Strangers. There’s something familiar about her particular brand or style, with bits of Jessie Ware through to Bat For Lashes thrown into the mix.

Ultimately, it’s fun to hear something new/current that I enjoy as a curmudgeonly 30-something who is very much stuck in his own heyday. Go and listen now.

My Spotify playlist of artists for 2022 will be built up here.
