Quite a lot of unknown names in there, although NRK have been quoted as saying that 2010 was about the artists, but that 2011 will be about the songs! Still, we’re excited about the inclusion of the fabulous Hanne Sørvaag as an artist. She’s composed some cracking pop tunes in her time, so we’re looking forward to hearing what she deemed as being so good that she couldn’t give it away to anybody else and decided to keep it for herself!
Although we also have to say, even looking at the photos of the artists, it all seems quite promising, despite not knowing who most of them are. The list of names might not scream any star quality, but the photos certainly do! Click on this link here to see what we mean.
