Welcome to 2025. The music I have picked for you, however, was released in 2024, as the first weeks of the year is always a time of year with few new releases. And – there are always albums I missed at the end of the previous year, great albums that need to be listened to. This time I have ended up with, by coincidence, a playlist filled with more relaxed and contemplative music, with a few notable exceptions. Still, this might be the time of year to be a bit reflective and not hurry so much. And if you disagree, I have added Long Tall Sally with The Beatles to just shake you up. I can please everybody all of the time…

And if you want to listen to a specic reviewed album and suggested single, click on the title in the review.
Canadian Joe Bel is a new discovery for me. This is her second album, very accomplished in my view, and covering a wide range of genres, from pop and indie to folk.
A wide range of genres also represent Diane Birch, although jazz undertones are everywhere, maybe somewhat related to Carole King, as one reviewer rightly suggested. She has gone under my radar until now, although she started recording as fas back as 2009.
I said there were notable exceptions to melancholy in this month’s playlist, and Peach Pit offer some of that with their energetic and melodic indie music.
Suki Waterhouse seems to never stand still, she has a very successful model career behind her, even an acting career, and then she decided to get into music. Makes sense. Now she has released her second album of 18 (!) tracks, an impressive collection of lighthearted pop songs.
I can’t make head or tails of Nilüfer Yanya’s music. Normally I like artists that covers a variety of music, but there is something directionless about this album. Still, I have included a couple of tracks, because I also like to be surprised, and she keeps on surprising me throughout the album. Give it a shot.
And now something completely different. Folk music from Menorca, courtesy of brilliant, expressive singer Anna Ferrer. Meditative, simple and oh- so beautiful. Give that a shot, too.
Jacob Banks – what a voice, and what a performer. I have not seen him live, but I understand he is awesome. This man also knows his beats; Yonder Book is full of it.
This 2012 album is as much fun today as when it was released. Lily Allen defined cheekiness and girl power, and complacent men full of themselves were the main target. Still, there is also vulnerability in Lily Allen’s lyrics, at least some of the time.
I couldn’t take more of the mid 1970s with Bay City Rollers and the like, so as an experiment I have jumped a further ten years back, introducing my new column «60 Years Ago». And what better than to start with The Beatles and their For Sale album, with a number of songs that are now evergreens, like Eight Days a Week and No Reply. My favourite Beatles period followed this album, starting with Sgt. Pepper, but I just loved their take on classic rock’n’roll like Rock’n’roll Music. Better than the originals. (I couldn’t resist adding Long Tall Sally to the list, my favourite cover by the Beatles ever…)
..and of course a number of other known and unknown artists who have issued new music before the end of 2024. ! And since Christmas is coming up, I have added at least one new Christmas album, and a couple of singles to assure your holiday mood. It is a good list to end the year with, if I may say so myself. And in a few days I’ll give you the 2024 Roundup and my own Top 10 list.
You might notice that there is no 50 Years Ago album this month. It shook me to the core to add Bay City Rollers last month, and when the no. 1 album (except Elton John’s compilation album) was by David Essex – and just so unbelievably horrible – I decided to leave it out. You’ll thank me later. Not every album released in 1974 was brilliant, far from it.

We’re hitting off with 70s funk and soul – and delicious vocals from debutante Lynda Dawn. It is so tastefully done, her voice reminds me of sadly deceased Minnie Ripperton. I was such a great fan of her.
We’re back to the samba and to the delicious music of Brazil. Rogê doesn’t stick with the obvious; he is covering the whole field of latin music and adds his own.
This is a mellow EP, with songs in minor for the most part. It is beautifully executed, though, emotional and with a sense of truth to all that is said and sung.
She’s in her seventees and has released more that 20 albums, but she doesn’t relent. The songs are better and catchier than ever, and she has prodced the album herself. So much for retirement.
The second debut album this month, from singer songwriter Wallice from Los Angeles. With her playful lyrics and melodies this is a fun album to listen to in the pop/indie genre.
A new epic album from one of the most talented artists living today, so confident and powerful as pop and rock music can be. Timeless in its expression. I have loved so much of what he has produced before, but this could easily be his best album. Yet.
Canadian folk singer Myriam Gendron is out with her third album, her most accessible till now. Her deep and rich voice gives us songs that seem to have been around forever, whilst still feeling fresh. The music is sad and beautiful and hopeful, including the instrumental tracks. Just lovely.
In France Luciani is a massive star and many of you may have seen her perform at the reopening of Notre Dame. Her new album offers soft pop in droves, but very catchy and at times even touching. The album was written during her pregnancy, which may have added a layer of sweetness.
The title track of this complicated album by Kim Deal, is worth the whole listening experience, a slow, seductive track with Kim Deal’s voice (perhaps) feigning innocence. Many of you might enjoy the whole album, but too much experimentation for my taste. Still, a number of very strong tracks. These are of course in the playlist.
Nerina Pallot has become a kind of female Elton John, with her well-crafted piano pop. The only real difference is the level of fame the two of them enjoy. Pallot has her devoted fanbase, incuding me (and hopefully many of you), and keeps releasing one brilliant album after another. Musicians line to perform on her albums, but that doesn’t bring fame. Not that she seeks it, in interviews she describes herself as perfectly happy in the shadows of the business.
Another artist who keeps churning out great multi-genre music is Ben Folds. His Christmas album is very different from most December releases, jazzy, with entertaining lyrics and without many standards. There is Christmas spirit in there if you just listen close enough, but it is a fun album nevertheless.
Michael Kiwanuka has an impressive back catalogue, and here comes another accomplished album, with relaxed singer songwriter pop, and with songs that grow on you through every listen. Kiwanuka creates a certain atmosphere in my ears every time he starts performing.
Now to the strangest album of the month. St. Lenox wordy lyrics can be a bit much at times, but he forces you to listen to his ramblings on life in general and work life in particular. His style is highly original, there is a message at the core of each track, and everything, from arrangements and vocal performance, is built around that message.
This is the newest of all classic albums I have introduced you to. In fact, I discovered the album as part of the work for this blog, and I have kept listening to it for more than 10 years, also waiting for new music from the band. Just after the release of Tale to tell, Mark Horwood, a key member of the band, comitted suicide, a horrible tragedy for both the band and for listeners. Hopefully more music will come our way, but until then enjoy this fabulous album, particularly the silver voice of Raissa Khan-Panni and the exquisite brass band arrangements that is the band’s foremost trademark.
Keep reading, keep listening in 2025, and don’t miss the year-end roundup in a week’s time.
Who can turn down a happy Nick Cave, a female tribute to Willie Nelson, soundscapes at its loveliest, blues at its purest and world music at its most interesting? Together with pop, rock, jazz, folk, country and everything else from five continents that I have found hidden in the Spotify vaults. Including a true classic and a not-so-classic fifty year old release. So enjoy!

Brian and Michael D’Addario, the brothers behind pop sensations The Lemon Twigs, are back with a new album, filled to the brim with enthusiastic new pop music, sharing the style of Beach Boys and Beatles and other classic bands. A Dream Is All We Know is not as faultless as last year’s Everything Harmony, but most albums recorded this year would fail when compared to that classic.
Jazz virtuoso Nala Sinephro has created an album of soundscapes for you, an album you could easily turn to when you need some space in life and just want to get away from it all. The Guardian calls it «mystical jazz», and you may choose to listen carefully to all the wonderful turns of the music, or just let it flow all over you.
Terje Formoe has for decades thrilled children and parents alike with his amazing theatre and film Captain Sabertooth universe. I have had the pleasure of cooperating with him as co-producer for one of his films. But Terje is also a sensitive and creative composer and singer of pop and folk, in Norwegian. His latest album is by far his best, with more intricate melodies and personal lyrics than every before.
Irish Orla Gartland is back with another energetic and oh-so-sophisticated album, her second. Gartland has, however, been at it since she was 14, when she started posting songs on YouTube. These days we are definitely listening to a mature, full-fledged artist, a great songwriter with her own cheeky and inimitable style.
Another artist who is totally in control of her own career is Lady Gaga. Her musical versility is well-known, from electropop to jazz. She is the manifestation of what this blog is all about: don’t limit yourself musically (or in any other way, for that matter.) Harlequin is a playful album of standards, accompanying the motion picture Joker: Folie à Deux, with a curious collection of songs, from When The Saints Come Marching In to That’s Life. I enjoyed every second of it.
Sarah Blasko performs pop music for grown ups, there are no frills around her music. It is serious and performed with broad strokes, often with elaborate orchestra arrangements and with an intensity that is infectious. Australians love their Blasko; it is about time the rest of the world get a proper sense of this unique artist.
Let’s take a quick trip across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand, there we’ll find Tami Neilson, a truly versatile singer, mastering a number of musical genres equally well. She is a great admirer of Willie Nelson (who isn’t) and decided to record an album with his songs. The result is remarkable and shows off the skill and talent of both artists.
When you enter Ollee Owens’ web site, her pottery and jewellery are offered side by side to her latest album. There’s no hypocrisy about Owens, what you hear is what you get. Nowehere to Hide offers true and uncomplicated blues and spirituals performed in a pure form, like it was supposed to.
This album offers true world music. Mariama Ndure is a Norwegian artist born to Gambian parents, and she brings all her influences from her two cultures into this highly wide-ranging, but oh so personal album. I only knew Mariama from her children’s concerts with my daughter Karoline. Listening to Rituals I was taking into a whole new universe of African folk, modern jazz, and even poetry.
Eliane Elias was considered a wonderkid when she started performing as no more than a child. Now she is 64 and has released more than 20 albums, both as a singer, a pianist and band leader, sometimes all of it at the same time. Her full, laid-back voice is an invitation into Brazilian and Latin jazz, and her latest album shows off all her strengths and why I just never tire of the bossa nova.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Wild God Australian artist Nick Cave hasn’t always been a performer of happy music. And one could be fooled by his claim that Wild God was written and performed during a truly happy period for him and his band. «We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it is time for joy.» he sings on «Joy». And I am converted. In fact, I keep listening to this remarkable album, and it actually makes me, yes, happy, despite its darker tones.
Like too many other young artists, Radka Toneff died very young. She managed to record a number of albums before she died, Fairytales being the most famous and with the broadest reach. Steve Dobrogosz has continued to record, as listeners of this blog know well. Fairytales was for me the gateway to songs like Moon is a Hard Mistress and My Funny Valentine. Radka Toneff’s vulnerability shines through her renditions, and nobody can emulate her performance in my view.
What has been amazing to discover going back 50 years to no. 1’s at that time, is how many releases really have withstood the ravages of time. Rollin’ by the Bay City Rollers is not one of them ( and the same goes for the cover photo). Still, they were incredibly popular among the youngest listeners with their chewing gum pop. I have left a few songs in the playlist; it is still pop music history.
50 years ago this month, the Carpenters siblings made it to the top with their singles collection. There are virtually no tracks on that record that one wouldn’t consider true classics 50 years later, including Yesterday Once More. Karen’s silky voice and Richard’s backing vocal arrangements were trademarks of their music that no-one could copy. Perhaps a bit overused today, but still worth listening to properly. You’ll find eight songs from the album in this month’s playlist.
Yesterday Once More is a good title for the playlist this month, for both new and old artists have looked back to yesterday for either inspiration og actual tracks
No, it is not Don Henley of the Eagles, it is Dylan LeBlanc from Louisana, with a concept album – rare these days, Coyote, a story of a man on the run. It was not the story itself that drew me to this album, but the pure quality of the music, an exceptional country rock album that reminds me of Eagles in more ways than the vocals.
Great songwriting is the trademark of Real Estate’s 6th album Daniel as well. Although some of the tracks are a bit bland, most of the album is enjoyable, with its soft rock feel, melodic and sunny.
Blog followers know I am a fan of Gaby Moreno, even when she lacks a certain direction, like on her new album, Dusk. At least you’re never bored, as Gaby jumps from latin to pop to rock and back, and she does it all in style, with her warm and expressive voice, whether she sings in English or Spanish.
Everything I Know Kai WarriorHold The Girl Rina Sawayama
There’s a bit of direction confusion on Rina Sawayama’s second album as well, Hold The Girl. But as with Moreno, perhaps it doesn’t matter that much. I am at least glad she has added more ballads and less run-of-the-mill r&b this time. It is a daring move, she could easily be up there with the Lady Gaga crowd, but like Gaga she refuses to stay on track. I will keep listening.
There is considerably less punch in Kai Warrior’s voice, and that’s the point. The songs on Everything I Know were mostly written in their bedroom and sounds like it, but they are lifted by a band that surrounds and embraces the fragile songs.
Bombay Bicyle Club from England has released a new EP, Fantasies, a happy album with catchy tunes and great harmonies.
ITEIAD Sessions The Japanese HouseHurray For The Riff RaffGruff Rhys
In the end it always does is the name of The Japanese House’s album of 2023, and she (yes, her real name is Amber Mary Bain) has rerecorded some of the songs on ITEIAD Sessions, including a unlikely and different version of Super Trouper by ABBA, defintely worth listening to.
Another artist that performs as a band is Alynda Segarra, aka Hurray for the Riff Raff. Although the theme of The Past is Still Alive is quite sombre, about growing up under difficult circumstances, the music is feisty and positive indie with a touch of Americana.
Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals has issued nearly as many solo albums as with his more famous band. On his latest, Sadness Sets Me Free, the songs are again built around his dark and introvert voice, with a calming effect, at least on me. But if you’re looking for fireworks, go elsewhere.
We end this month’s album reviews with three albums that defintely look back at yesterday. Nouvelle Vague is a French band specializing in covers of New Wave music but with a very different take. They could have fitted right in at a night club with music that wouldn’t be there otherwise. Should I Stay or Should I go contains tracks that extend from the interesting to the bizarre.
Rod Stewart and Jools Holland’s brilliant big band stay on the rails when recreating some of the great songs of the big band and rock’n’roll era on Swing Fever. No surprises here, just hipswinging, delightful rhythms, with Stewart’s crooner voice at its best.
Joe Jackson goes one giant leap further, flawlessly recreating the music hall sound on What a Racket!, even creating an alter ego in Max Champion, a performer from that era. I love artists who allows themselves to leave the safe area that have created their fame. Jackson had a number of major pop hits as far back as in 1979, like Is She Really Going Out with Him.
New Singles
I have put a lot of enjoyable singles in the jukebox for you, from Florence + The Machine’s almost hypnotic White Cliffs of Dover to Walter Trout and Beth Hart’s power ballad Broken, with a guitar solo the way they used to make ’em. And the rest covers more genres than you can name: ballads, classic piano, world music, country, rock’n’roll, latin… I’ll stop there. Just jump in.
One of my favourite singers, Kirsty MacColl, recorded Tropical Brainstorm in 1999. The songs had a true Cuban/Latin feel, but the lyrics were feisty, funny and literate, mostly about men who didn’t match up to MacColl’s standards. Like with all albums I call classics, I never tire listening to Tropical Brainstorm, but always with a certain sadness of what could have been. Kirsty MacColl was killed only months after its release, by a speedboat in Mexico while out swimming with her two sons. She probably saved her son’s life by pushing him out of the way, but died instantly after being hit by the boat. Because this album turned out to be her last, it is even more precious to me.
1974
I wrote about this amazing album in the intro. But even Singles 1969-1973 brings out a certain sadness in me when I listen to it, because Karen Carpenter, like Kirsty MacColl, also suffered a premature death, a heart failure at 32 following a long fight with anorexia, probably caused by dealing with fame. Richard’s career as a superstar also in effect ended with her death, although he continues to perform and produce.
I can’t get Turn the Lights Back On out of my head, so it’s abolutely this month’s ear worm, the first release from Billy Joel in 17 years, and I would argue one of his best songs ever, co-written with Freddy Wexler. It is an amazing, well-written ballad that feels true and real, whatever meaning you decide to give it. The video, directed by Wexler, is equally amazing, using AI to recreate Billy Joel from the 70s (when I saw him perform) the 80s, the 90s and today.
Unless we are to wait until January to release the best albums of the previous year (perish the thought!) , we have to accept that a «year» in blog terms will run from about December to November. So this short list – as wonderful as it is – contains songs from last calendar year. Naturally. Enough said.
New year requires new feature. Well, it was kind of introduced last year in the «best of»- blog : Ear worms, but from this month I’ll test it out on you on a more regular basis, songs that stick in your ear – in a good way.
I am leaving to others to review this time, a kind of army of substitute reviewers. I promise to return with my own reviews soon, when I have more time on my hands…
I do hope you still enjoy the new look and the slightly altered way of presenting the music to you. The links to Spotify are now found in the text itself.

Looking back fifty years and digging in my memory for albums I consider classic, naturally leads one to artists of bygone years. But even among new releases there are men and women of considerable age contributing to the last regular blog entry in 2023.
That doesn’t mean you should shy way if you consider yourself young and forward-looking; I promise lots if interesting albums and singles from artists who are still in their sexual prime. And that doesn’t only include Mick Jagger….
I do hope you still enjoy the new look and the slightly altered way of presenting the music to you. The links to Spotify are now found in the text itself.
The Astronomer’s Dream Bjørn TomrenGold Cleo SolI Hope You Can Forgive Me Madison McFerrinJoe Hisaishi
The opening album, The Astronomer’s Dream (fun fact: the title is taken from a live animation silent movie from 1898) by Norwegian artiste extraordinaire Bjørn Tomren, takes us into his peculiar musical universe. Tomren went from obscurity to fame two years ago, when he won the contest The Ultimate Entertainer, thrilling the audience with his mixture of crooning, yodeling and Mongolian throat singing (no, I’m not kidding). The album is less iconic than it sounds, you might enjoy it even if throat singing is not your thing.
Remaining in Norway for a bit more, Team More is a 8 piece band who write and perform well crafted and optimistic pop tunes with strong harmonies and a feel-good attitude throughout. Their new album, Return to the Riverside, does just that: taking them back to their childhood and being raised in a small town.
Harmonies are the trademark of the folk-pop duo Lily & Madeleine as well. The two have created sweet, almost too sweet, pop music before, starting very young. Now they have matured, and Nite Swim is their best album yet.
And finally there’s a proper album from Salvador Sobral, not only random single releases! The Portuguese jazz singer who won Eurovision Song Contest some years ago, has not taken any advantage of the publicity from his strong victory, but have kept touring, recording a single now and then, performing with people he likes. I went to a concert with him a few years back, and it is still among the best stage performances I have ever experienced. But he obviously doesn’t want fame and fortune, and good for him! Timbre is a terrific album, showing off his creamy soft voice and excellent execution. If you enjoy it as much as I do, don’t tell anyone – I don’t think Salvador wants you to do that.
Canadian singer Laila Biali is seeking fame in a more traditional way, releasing an album of covers, mostly, naming it Your Requests. There are some original and interesting takes on songs you probably know. I have picked a bouquet for you.
Can you believe old fogey trumpeter Herb Alpert is 88 years old? This energetic and craftful Wish Upon a Star certainly isn’t giving his age away. The smooth trumpet sound that gave me such delight back in the 70s, is still there, and he has brought other brilliant musicians with him into the studio, plus The American Songbook.
Joe Hisaishi, the brilliant Japanese composer and orchestra director, is a young man compared to Alpert, with his 72 years. He has just released a collection of his compositions for Animé cartoon films together with The BBC Concert Orchestra, and what a thrill it is. It is almost impossible to pick only a section of this album to do it any justice. There are few if any contemporary composers who can rival him.
The Lilac Time (fun fact: name taken from the lyrics to a song by Nick Drake) with the Duffy brothers Nick and Stephen at its centre, seem to aspire to join Salvador Sobral’s club of brilliant unknowns, which they can never be. The dark and poltically heartfelt lyrics and music dominate their latest album Dance Till All the Stars Come Down. No pretenses, just pure audience communication and strong beliefs.
Liverpool’s folk-rock band The Coral has a new album out, Sea of Mirrors, bursting with British folk guitar-based music, lovely songs down to earth, no frills, timeless and mature music.
One ought to leave some space between album releases. Cleo Sol definitely seems to disagree. Not only did she release a new album completely out of the blue in September, two weeks later she released another one, Gold. I blinked, so I missed the first one, thus it is the latter I have added to this month’s playlist, an amazing soul album, eerily beautiful. Now it’s time to «go back» and listen to her previous release, Heaven. Can’t wait.
Madison McFerrin‘s claim to fame is of course her father, Bobby, (Don’t Worry Be Happy), but more troublesome: a rendition of The Star-Spangeled Banner during a political rally in 2016, supposedly out-of-tune (I have heard it and it is not that bad, but rumours stick). She’s in no way out-of-tune on her new album I Hope You Can Forgive Me, sophisticated pop and soul, lush and with an amzing range in style. Bobby makes an appearance as well.
New Singles
The most talked about single – by far – is the AI-aided Now and Then, labelled a single by The Beatles. And it’s very close so: This is a demo Lennon made but never finished, Harrison did some overlays but left it at that, and McCartney and Starr finished it. The result has all the characteristics of The Beatles, and I’m glad they did it despite the artificial method.
Three interesting two-person teams this month: Sam Ryder brings us a power balled together with Queen- guitarist Bryan May, and Lady GaGa teams up with Mick Jagger and Rolling Stones on Sweet Sounds of Heaven, while Lucy Schwartz teams up with rising star Jared Palomar on Ghost In My House.
Winner and runner-up in this year’s Ultimate Entertainer in Norway, Odd Renée Andersen and Mari Bella are in the list, a young very promising talent in Bella with a decent pop single, and one of the best blues/rock-voices anywhere on the planet in Andersen, performing My Girl.
Maria Kannegaard would probably have been considered one of the world’s finest jazz pianists if it hadn’t been for a debilitiating psychological disorder. A podcast (in Norwegian, sorry, some of you…) out about the brilliant musician has introduced many to the horror of schizophrenia, but also to the wonderful universe of her piano compositions. A single from her hopefully forthcoming album, Bortimot, is out.
Francis Ford Coppola rarely bombed as a director, but «One From the Heart» got a severe beating by most critics when it was released in 1982. It was not a particularly great film, so I think there were some truth to the reviews. The soundtrack, however, was a different matter. I consider it one of Tom Waits‘ best albums, even though it take some getting used to his duets with country singer Crystal Gayle. But when you do get used to it, you might also accept that it is a brilliant choice. The two of them create a peculiar atmosphere together almost like being in a seedy bar somewhere in a big city. I have never heard anything like this before, and never have since.
1973
When Elton John released his album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, he was already one of the greatest stars on the planet. It was hard to image he would undo himself after his first albums, but when this double album came out in 1973, it became very clear that he had done just that, and had created something close to a pop masterpiece. I never tired of it, still haven’t, but some of the tracks are so much played even today, that I have tried to focus on the less known songs. But if it is a trip down a yellow memory lane you’re craving, go for the whole album as I did preparing for this blog. Oooh!
Well, next stop is the annual countdown of this year’s best albums. Then, see you over in 2024 for what hopefully will be a great new music year. Fingers crossed!
