Sigrid

Pre-order Sigrid's sophomore album for presale access

Raised in the small town of Ålesund on Norway’s western coast, singer-songwriter Sigrid (full name Sigrid Solbakk Raabe) began her music career at the age of 16. Fond of doing covers by artists like Adele, her brother challenged her to write an original song. She performed Sun in 2013 at a local show and the track scored her airplay on several Norwegian radio stations.

Signed soon after by Petroleum Records, Sigrid moved to Island Records three years later and has been honing her heartfelt, yet edgy electro-pop sound ever since.

She stepped into the spotlight in early 2017 with the release of her debut EP Don’t Kill My Vibe. Packed with youthful confidence, its title track drew comparisons to artists like Lorde and James Blake. Sigrid followed it up with another critically acclaimed track in autumn called Strangers that further showcased her earnest voice.

Capping off an incredible year, Sigrid performed at 2017’s Nobel Peace Prize Concert in December, as well as sang the Leonard Cohen classic Everybody Knows for the opening montage of the Justice League film.

At the age of 21, Sigrid was named the winner for BBC Music’s Sound Of 2018 poll, beating off competition from Pale Waves and IAMDDB. Her second EP Raw arrived that summer with more playful and brutally honest songs about love like I Don’t Want To Know and High Five.

Collaborating with several producers including Martin Sjølie, Odd Martin Skålnes and Askjell Solstrand, Sigrid’s debut album Sucker Punch came out in March 2019. Topping the Norwegian albums chart upon arrival, it also reached the top five in the UK. Sigrid supported George Ezra on his arena tour later that month, performed at Glastonbury to over 30,000 festival goers, and then embarked on a UK headline tour of her own in November.

In spring 2021, Sigrid released the anthemic track Mirror. Her ballad Home To You was also used for the BBC’s closing montage of the Tokyo Summer Olympics when the champions were welcomed home. In late August, Sigrid released the song Burning Bridges and confirmed details about her sophomore album along with a tour of the UK and Ireland in March 2022.
