Sondre Bratland - Kvilestein

Review by Mihaela Draghici

Kvilestein, the latest album from Norwegian folk singer Sondre Bratland, is a stunning collection of traditional Nordic songs that showcases his extraordinary vocal range and deep emotional connection to the music. Bratland's hauntingly beautiful voice is perfectly suited to the sparse, atmospheric arrangements that make up the album, with each track transporting the listener to a different time and place.

From the opening track "Eg veit i himmerik ei borg" to the final notes of "Kvilestein," Bratland's voice resonates with a sense of melancholy and longing that is both haunting and deeply moving. His renditions of traditional folk songs like "Å eg veit meg eit land" and "Det syng" are particularly powerful, with Bratland's voice soaring above the simple, yet evocative instrumentation.
