Great artists don’t arrive on the conveyor belt of weekly TV talent shows. They come once or twice in a generation and follow their own unique path, which makes them so special. The award winning Norwegian singer Silje Nergaard is one such artist, and her latest album A Thousand Stories is the finest realisation of her internationally acclaimed singing and songwriting artistry to date. Recorded in August 2008 and produced by Silje herself aided by Pal Svenre, Silje holds centre stage with her regular group with Helge Lien on piano – “How they melt into my songs” she says – plus the internationally acclaimed Dutch Metropole Orchestra. With stunning orchestral arrangements by Grammy winning composer, arranger and conductor Vince Mendoza (Joni Mitchell, Bjork, Elvis Costello, Herbie Hancock) on seven tracks, A Thousand Stories is the sort of ambitious and personalised statement that comes with confidence and experience. “I feel at home in Silje’s music,” says Mendoza, “it resonates with my basic spirit and I think Silje trusts that I’m going to dance with her in her musical world.”
“It’s been a dream come true to work with Vince, who really gets inside my music” says Silje, who when she heard Mendoza’s arrangement of “Chinese Cafe” on Joni Mitchell’s album Travelogue was inspired her to invite him to contribute two arrangements to her critically acclaimed 2007 album Darkness Out of the Blue, so setting in motion a chain of events that culminated in A Thousand Stories.
In explaining her approach to the album, Silje says, “Music is about story telling. At least the way I hear it. I really want to reach audiences, and tell them stories they can feel, and connect to their lives.” You only have to listen to the title track to hear what she means. It tells the poignant story of lovers growing apart, a relationship that’s loosing its sparkle. “It’s not the only couple it’s happened to,” explains Silje, “It’s based on a thousand true stories.” ~Stuart Nicholson
