Description: | "Hello It??s Me" sings Signe Marie Rustad in her crystal clear, inimitable voice. And with that,
she??s back, three years after the release of her successful third album, When Words Flew
Freely. The above lyric is taken from a song bearing the same name, the first single off
Rustad??s fourth album, Particles of Faith.
Known for her poetic lyrics and vivid songwriting, and backed by a tight knit band that??s
been with her for years, Rustad??s new album offers a natural transition from the already
classic When Words Flew Freely (WWFF). However, Particles of Faith also brings something
completely new and fresh.
WWFF presented a broader, organic and piano-driven Laurel Canyon-sound, and less of the
americana sound present on Rustad??s first two releases. Particles of Faith is harder to place
in any genre, other than in the broader singer-songwriter tradition, helmed by pioneers such
as Joni Mitchell and Carole King. But Rustad also points to a host of other inspirations.
Alternative pop/rock from the 80??s and 90??s have always been a big influence on Rustad,
and on Particles of Faith, this is more evident than ever. R.E.M., Fiona Apple, Crowded House
and Tori Amos were important components both in the artist??s record collection and on her
TV screen via MTV. Seeing as this era was also the golden age of the saxophone, it was only
natural to include a three-minute-long sax solo, courtesy of acclaimed Norwegian jazz
musician Harald Lassen ?? a solo that ??made me cry? says Rustad. The album is produced by
Rustad along with indie pop hero Kenneth Ishak. ??This is the music coursing through my
veins,? says Rustad about the album.
Rustad has been critically acclaimed ever since her 2012 debut, but with WWFF, things
really took off. Rave reviews, inclusion on several year-end lists, live performance on
Norway??s biggest talk show and a booking to Norway??s biggest festival followed the release.
The album was awarded a Spellemann award (Norwegian Grammy) for lyricist of the year.
After widespread touring since the fall of 2019, Rustad??s performance on ?yafestivalen??s
main stage in August 2022, marked the wrap up of the WWFF project, while it
simultaneously introduced the next chapter, announcing the new album with the
performance of two new songs.
The songs on the album are snapshots from a life, and ??particles of faith? refers to keeping
the faith in yourself, love, the people around you and the world in general throughout
everything that you endure in life. It can be a kind of strength that you may think comes from
the outside, but is actually found inside of us. - |
