Thank you as always for your reaction! Highasakite (a reference to Elton John’s Rocket Man, which they’ve covered) have a lot of terrific songs and performances - often with unusual instruments. Ingrid released one solo album sometime back, I can’t remember it too well, aside from a Christmas song. Hope you’ll check out more of their songs, either for the channel or a potential Spotify playlist. Golden Ticket (maybe the acoustic version), Since Last Wednesday, Samurai Swords (acoustic), Leaving No Traces, God Don’t Leave Me, Hiroshima, Heavenly Father, just to name a few. Their _HAIK_ concert! Interesting that Ingrid reminded you of Susanne Sundfør at times. They both studied jazz, I believe, but I can’t hear any vocal similarities myself... _doesn’t mean_ there aren’t any. 😊
This song is so beautiful, it makes me cry every time. But please listen to this version (below) of the same song when you have time, from them as well. Its one of the most moving songs and I have heard, and the version is sublime. It gives me shivers down my spine. Thank you guys, I love your journey into Norwegian singers and bands. And I am not even Norwegian.. They have so many incredible ones, and we can only question why. I guess they have some kind of special and magic supermilk in Norway. Thanks again, this was so much fun, as always 😊 th-cam.com/video/lEC67UXr4Es/w-d-xo.html
Seems to me you guys love Norwegian artists, so you should check out Aurora's friend Sigrid, who was named Sound of the year by BBC in 2018(?). She's from a small town called Aalesund, which you should put on your visit list for your planned trip to Norway. It's not called Norway's most beautiful town/city for no reason Check out her acoustic version of Dynamite or from the Nobel Peace concert. It's from the same studio where A-Ha played Sun always shines on tv. The studio is btw right outside Aalesund. and Don't kill my vibe, Strangers, and a cover of Fleetwood Mac - Go your own way to mention a few =)
I’ve said this before but how have I never heard so much of this music you react too? It just goes to show how the radio, in previous years, dictated our listening choices in music. Shame on them, when there is so much more out there. So many of these female fronted groups are never played and they deserve to be. I really enjoy the majority of your reactions. I won’t say all as some are not my cup of tea but I still listen to them. I have even come to tolerate some of the harsh vocals as well. Love your reactions, they are the first ones I click on in the morning. ❤️🤘🇦🇺
You should really listen to the Highasakite concert named Haik (th-cam.com/video/FcD61OEOJZ0/w-d-xo.html). This concert really displays Highasakite and their fantastic songs and sound. This concert was produced by the Norwegian National TV and as such, has very good quality sound and pictures. The concert was held at the construction site of the soon to be finished new Norwegian National Art Museum.
This young woman's voice is like a musical instrument, absolutely beautiful, I need to find out more as I'm completely ignorant to this artist but it sounds very European.
I was on my way to suggest Emilie Nicolas! I’m in love with the NRK P3 Live version of “Feel Fine”. Which song by Emilie Nicolas would you like Mike and Ginger reacting to?
@@leod2408 oh yes, that’s a wonderful song too! Last year one of my daughters asked me if I had heard of Emilie Nicolas. I had not so I still have a lot to discover I guess. I have only briefly getting to know a couple of her other songs besides Oh Love and Feel Fine. It’s really promising so I’m looking forward to hearing more from her!
@@leod2408 Thank you❣️I grew up in the area where the concert was held. My childhood home so close I could’ve heard the music loud and clear just by opening my kitchen window! I couldn’t be there in 2015 but thanks to you I sort of been there in 2021!
You must soon be entered as some cultural ambassador status of us Norwegians. You know I love you guys, so I put together a little history of how Norwegian pop music got this "ice cold ancient twang to it" (I am not asking you to react to this at all, but you might find it amusing to listen to: Before I start, this walkthrough may make you think that Norway at present is some musical "national park" of ancient music influences. It really is not. I have picked up examples that can illustrate a bit why some of the music made can carry a geographical signature. And that even Angelina Jordan (that never sang traditional Norwegian folk and sounding like she grew up in New Orleans - if one listens carefully, one can locate some "Norwegian folk" in her runs though I do not think she is aware of it herself). So first I have to present you with a sample of the most ancient singing technique that is still alive: LOKK th-cam.com/video/PuCoQCKqfmg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Vikingskog This is a female song technique used to call the cattle back from grazing. The reason for the high clear jodelling singing is the same as for why actual jodelling was invented of old in the Alps - this pitch travels longest in the mountains, and the cattle could recognize "their" song among the other farms. Now I must move to our native Sami people. In the early 1980s an incredibly talented, brave and strong Sami woman called Mari Boine, already a champion joker (the Sami traditional vocal form) started to experience with Joik (inherently a vocal practice, like "Lokk") - and how to integrate it with musical instruments. And the musicians flexible enough were typically jazz musicians, being used to understand odd rhythmical meters and quarter-tones that traditional music requires. She is still a global superstar in "world/native music" th-cam.com/video/4OHLWU4PEUU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MariBoine-Topic Soon after, a duo was formed in Northern Norway. One genius composer and electronica artist (I may come back to him) and Anneli Drecker who knew some joik and traditional western pop singing. Bel Canto was a fact. When you press this 30 year old song, remember Mari Boine, but also remember some of the tonal qualities in Aurora's music, that I know you love: th-cam.com/video/CWWj8nIvAfc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BloodGed Still with me? So Geir Jenssen, now a much-rewarded composer more in the non-tonal modern orchestral music, he was sitting up in Tromsø doing electronica. Giving out Almbums such as "Microgravity" and "substrata" - instantly becoming world wide classics in minimalist electronica. I will not search up a song for you (both albums are amazing) - because I need them to the more modern vibe we are exploring here - how did very old Norwegian music get into popular music. So we have to introduce "Røyksopp" (another duo with HUGE musical brains both as composers, performers and producers). Every Norwegian knows I am going to link to their first mega-hit - Poor Leno, so I'll do just that. th-cam.com/video/B4px0qQrG5E/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=WallofSoundRecording This was in 2001 - can you hear that cool synth vibe coming through from Bel Canto (and actually the entire "art-house" electronica scene in Norway back in the 1990s with deep connections to the jazz scene (that was already discovering old traditional music also outside Mari Boine) but also going electronica. Meanwhile, the classical trumpeter Ole Edvard Antonsen did "bad things" - because as a classical musician he should not "cross over" - take a listen to this with one of Norway's most famous folk-singers Kirsten Bråten Berg (this is also from the early 1990s. th-cam.com/video/M0qta_XY-M8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=OleEdvardAntonsen-Topic Finally, Norwegian modern music in Norwegian, never made to go big anywhere else continues to explore it too. The last clip you may actually want to react to, because I am dropping a song from a Norwegian famous folk-singer who dropped her first cross-over album around 6 years ago. On that record, she takes on Bob Dylan's "Make you feel my love" (one of the most beautiful songs ever written). Check out what happens when a talent put a bit of ancient Norwegian magical sauce into this song (before listening back to that ancient "lokk" I started with: th-cam.com/video/5A5kK3FnThM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=IBratlandVEVO Bonus track. Gåte (Riddle in English). th-cam.com/video/qDdGWHfXBZM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FrozenDestroyer
Oh - if you react to Ingebjør Bratland's version of Dyland - you will be the first on youtube to react to her ever. You can score a "first" ever here - and I remind you - our beloved Eivør to the west of us, some of Norse singers in mother's tongue is worth responding to. Which reminds me - You have never reacted to our Icelandic friends of Sigur Ros. They dropped a live performance of Glósóli on youtube last week. Save it for a time you want to enter a musical landscape that is pure emotion. It is not "easy" but so welcoming and rewarding once you become comfortable. (Keep on the good work. If you ever find wanderlust again after the pandemic and you do not get some cultural diplomat status I am sure you will find helpful friends here both for planning and execution) 😀
Norwegians again..... ^¨ This is good, but it, sorry I love HighAsAKite, this doesn't go anywhere...? Tell me, have you ever heard Anneli Drecker? She toured with A-ha quite a lot...
Have a look at the comments for the original video, the song goes in the right direction for many people. :)) But, can’t like them all...I’m glad you like HAAK tho’. Which songs are your favorites?

This seriously gave me chills - so beautiful 😍
I absolutely recommend another spectacular Highasakite song - God Don't Leave Me.
Oh! My! God! Goosebumps all over😍
Beautiful...otherworldly...

Immediate click when I see highasakite reactions :) Hope you will react to more. Im a big fan of the mv for Someone Who'll get it.

You have to react to their song, Since Last Wednesday!
I think the last time I saw a bow used on an electric guitar was Jimmy Page in the Song remains the same.
Dazed and Confused
A icelandic band named Sigur Ros has also made it to some kind of trademark.
Listen to ‘someone who’ll get it’ while you watch the music video!!
