(LP)

«Fornemmelsen av hjemland» is the second album of Gro-Marthe Dickson and her Cole Porter project D-lovely. After their first release of American jazz with “re-poemed“ Norwegian lyrics, vocalist Dickson found out it was time to write lyrics from her own heart contrary to translating the original writings of Porter.

With new lyrics came new musical takes and ideas, and «Fornemmelsen av hjemland» («The sensation of homeland»), is a product of an aspiration to develop and mature. The group has taken a few steps away from traditional jazz, but you can still hear an echo from the past. The water is being tested and will never not be tested. There is no fumbling in their exploration, although always a hint of something called home. The arrangements are attentive and respectful to the original idea and the album as a whole is a melting pot of groove- and riff based songs with a diverse stack of lyrics waiting to be absorbed by the listeners’ heart and ears.
