633) Hege Bjerk - Pang

The vast majority of our song suggestions are in the English language, but thanks to Southern Norway singer Hege Bjerkreim (Bjerk), her native Jærsk is now up to two UT songs. Earlier this year, we recommended "Blått blod", a simple yet efficient indie folk song that shows a very different side of Bjerkreim. You readers have shown to be fairly fond of that side of her, as the song made it to the grand final of Undiscovered Song Contest #3 last week. However, being an up-tempo electro-pop banger, "Pang" is a pretty sharp contrast. It talks about a serious subject - knowing how to turn to others for help, specifically around the issue of eating disorders. Sung fully in the Southern Norwegian Jærsk tongue, the 3-minute song got local media attention this February when it participated in Melodi Grand Prix, a contest held annually to choose Norway's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. It is a powerful and danceable tune with a distinct message, which makes it clear why this was a fan favorite in the Eurovision community. "Pang" was also Hege Bjerk's only non-album release leading up to her emotional, genre-bending new album "Kan me stoppa tiå".
Enjoy! ♪
