Malin Pettersen - “Who I Am”
With an expanded soundscape and an eternal urge to explore, Malin Pettersen is ready to show off the music she has been working on for the past year. In her new song "Who I Am", Pettersen and producer Martin Horntveth highlight modern sounds, reflected by the decade she grew up. Her musical presence is still easily recognizable by her distinctive vocals, but with elements from a much larger bank of inspirations the soundscape is pulled towards an exhilarating new scenery.
The song "Who I Am" is about taking a retrospective look at the expression "Be yourself" - an at times confusing statement. She herself says: "It can be difficult to break patterns that are familiar to both you and others, but I feel more alive when I dare to explore other parts of myself. Also, musically. I've always had a big range of music in me, but needed time and help to get it out."
With her two releases on Die With Your Boots On Records, Malin Pettersen has become a popular artist in Norway and a name people notice internationally. The resonance with the public has resulted in a Norwegian Grammy Award (Spellemannpris), an appearance at Lindmo, the role of an expert judge in Stjernekamp, notices on websites such as Billboard, Rolling Stone and Forbes and much more. For this year she is ready to showcase new music at the Øya festival.
