The album Om igjen for første gang is a tribute to love, for better or worse. The lyrics are close, warm, funny, ironic, painful and courageous. The words are music alone, - good singable choruses, which grab and stick on the first listen. The music is both sophisticated and folk, with surprising harmonic turns and great arrangements. The composer has brought along a group of exquisite musicians who elevate the lyrics and melody, - while respectfully preserving the award winner's distinctive character. She has once again climbed up the charts with the song God nok som du er.
