Ane Brun’s unmistakable voice incarnates the sweet softness of her ballads in its tonality; mellifluous and light, with a slight tremble that ushers in a precious ephemerality. Playful as Joanna Newsom and Fiona Apple, powerful as Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton, this Norwegian has reconstituted the art of her elders to come up with her own music, for her own universe. Her personal touch resonates even throughout her covers. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of her career, Ane Brun has returned to her signature move by releasing four perfect compilations, exclusively covers, of which Portrayals is the first volume. “Covers have been such a big part of my career. It’s almost a career in itself. They have their own dynamic. I wanted to celebrate that by giving these songs their own space. It’s always a real creative process to record your own version of someone else’s song. I’m not interested in doing a cover version that sounds like the original…” Like Nina Simone, or, closer to home, Cat Power, the Scandinavian makes every song her own. Something that is all the more impressive given that the "revisited" artists come from any background in whichever decade. Portrayals features tracks from Sade (By Your Side), Nick Cave (Into My Arms), Bob Dylan (Make You Feel My Love), Radiohead (How to Disappear Completely), Emmylou Harris (All My Tears), Foreigner (I Want to Know What Love Is), Alphaville (Big in Japan), Beyoncé (Halo), Rodgers & Hart (Blue Moon), the Beatles (From Me to You) and many others.
