The keen reader might already be aware of Norwegian songstress Hanne Leland. Boasting a far-reaching music career and millions of streams on Spotify alone, Leland has recently returned with her latest effort, the heartwarming, meaningful piece ‘Everywhere I Go’. Built on a minimal, emotional production, the record moves with cinematic gravitas, fully supporting Hanne’s luscious, elegant vocals, here tinged with nostalgia and a touch of melancholia.
Written as a tearful reaction to the loss of Leland’s grandmother, ‘Everywhere I Go’ explores themes of grief and long-lasting memory, particularly enhancing how our loved ones will always be with us, even when they depart their physical form. As Hanne explains: “Writing this song was incredibly cathartic and something I deeply needed to express. It was one of those songs that came effortlessly—the chorus, both melody and lyrics, took shape in my head shortly after I learned she was gone. It felt deeply meaningful to put it into words, and I hope this song brings comfort to anyone who has experienced great loss.”
Overall, ‘Everywhere I Go’ is a beautiful piece, one that showcases once again the immense artistry and lyrical depth the Norwegian creative has to offer.
