| Kate Havnevik - Micronation |
Well, if this isn't nearly three
minutes of utterly delightful, airy pop with an indie edge then I don't know
what is! Kate Havnevik is a Norwegian singer-songwriter and her latest single,
'Micronation', is a gorgeous, sugary sweet blend of Kimbra, Feist, Katy Perry,
Bat For Lashes and a whole load of late 80s/early 90s pop influences. The
sliding, swooping string sounds are luscious while the bass line bounces along
like a bumble bee with pockets full of nectar and only making honey on his
mind. Havnevik's voice is smooth and classically in the pop style which makes
this whole experience thoroughly pleasant and utterly uplifting.
