The long-awaited debut album of Norwegian singer-songwriter Silje Leirvik. This is a collection of darkly-captivating songs, graced with Silje's disarmingly-alluring voice, that will manage to both pull at your heartstrings & unnerve you. It's warm, yet cold at the same time. This is an album of contrast, both dramatic & emotional, which is tied together with a feeling of seamless continuity. The combination of dynamic arrangements, haunting orchestrations, & one of the greatest voices of our time, gives us a very special album. Recorded over the course of a year, with Rhys Marsh producing, 'With The Lights Turned Out So Beautiful' takes us on a roller-coaster of a journey, through the beauty of 'Wave Of Emotion', the embittered 'The World Of Your Words', the uplifting 'With Me', the full-on soundscapes of 'Siren', coming to an end with the resigned-sadness of 'I Was'. This album is, quite literally, a wave of emotion.
