The Danish indie-pop-princess Oh Land gave something of a spellbinding performance of her song ‘Lean’ on Danish TV on Friday evening. It’s a song which most of her fans will already be aware of, as she’s performed it at a lot of her live shows already. And it’ll be one of the tracks on her much anticipated self titled album which is released in a couple of weeks.
The performance below goes a long way to explain why her new album is one which so many people are looking forward to. It’s a performance that borders on cinematic, such is its sweeping orchestral sound. The impressively ambitious melody is sung over a gorgeous piece of music performed by a live orchestra. It’s such a beautiful song. And even the visuals of the show are quite elegiac, with the shots of Oh Land and her band interestingly edited together. And we don’t know if this was intentional or not, but even the exaggerated widescreen suits the mood of everything that’s going on, perfectly.
We love this woman and her catalogue of tunage!
