You, or we, shouldn’t play by rules that were made several years ago - it’s time to change those kinds of norms. I hope that songs like ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ for instance, can inspire people to do that. SIGRID: I think you shouldn’t be afraid of speaking up. How do you think young women can learn to assert themselves, and be powerful in themselves? You spoke with The Telegraph about the perception of women as bitchy or bossy when they’re just doing their job, and how men don’t receive the same level of judgement. You’ve spoken super openly about the inspiration for that song, and how it’s particularly something that occurs because of your gender. I’m always coming up with new ideas as well.ĬDM Your song ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ is SO powerful, it’s really commanding in its message. I’m working a lot in the studio in between touring and promo and stuff. SIGRID: I can’t say a lot about it, but there is an album on the way. It was a really fun song to write.ĬDM: Is there a Sigrid debut album on the way that you can tell us about at the moment? We will play that one.ĬDM: The “I was just being polite” bit is so sassy, I love it. Can you pretty please play it in New Zealand? That’s probably my favourite.ĬDM: I watched a live video of ‘Credit’ and it’s SUCH a jam. I think ‘In Vain’ is probably my favourite song, because it’s very weird - it’s a weird build-up song, you don’t expect the drop at the end to come.
SIGRID: The ones you mentioned, I really like playing them. We talked about how we’re going to get a reunion at the festival.ĬDM: You’ve been playing a lot of new songs recently - such as ‘In Vain’, ‘Raw’, and ‘Doing You A Favour’ - are there any new songs that you’re particularly excited about playing at the moment? We just finished touring with them in Europe, and that was really fun. SIGRID: Oh yeah! I remember that, we talked about this actually. SIGRID: I haven’t gotten the chance to check it out yet, do you have any inside information? So yes, I’m super excited to come visit over there.ĬDM: You’re playing Auckland City Limits festival, are you familiar with any of the other artists on the line-up? SIGRID: I can’t wait! Yes! I’ve heard the nature is incredible. Are you excited to visit NZ for the first time ever? You, or we, shouldn’t play by rules that were made several years ago - it’s time to change those kinds of norms.ĬOUP DE MAIN: So Aurora played in New Zealand at the beginning of the year, Astrid S was just here, and now you’re coming next March! The Norwegian pop artists are really making their mark in New Zealand - and we’re so super excited to see you live.
With an impending New Zealand visit planned (as part of Auckland City Limits Festival next March), we spoke with Sigrid about her ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ EP, her upcoming visit to our shores, and her unreleased music… Since captivating listeners around the world with her commanding debut single ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’, Norwegian singer Sigrid has continued to astound with her follow-up releases - the sassy ‘Plot Twist’ and ‘Fake Friends’, and the more stripped back ‘Dynamite’, which all together make up the EP.
