What’s this? Hailing from Bergen in Norway, Iris is out with a brand new single and video. ‘To Be Mine (Is To Lose Your Mind)’.
What’s it like? Positively jubilant pop that’s infectious in its upbeat attitude and charming in its dedication to setting the scene for an ’80 prom party.
What does Iris say? “Life goes up and down, nothing new there, that’s part of the severe condition of being human and alive. But I have been terrible at dealing with the down parts, and I’ve always felt the need to explain that in past relationships. I guess this song somehow summarises how that ends when my attempt at warning people falls on deaf ears.”
Written by? Iris herself, along with Askjell Solstrand and Edvard Tronstad.
More from Iris? Earlier in the year, she released her ‘Lovemark/Crawl For Me‘ single.
