How To Let Go CD

Following in the footsteps of such luminaries as Lava, Skinny Days and Royksopp, Sigrid Solbakk Raabe won plenty of plaudits for her 2019 debut album Sucker Punch, whose smart and sassy fusion of bold, hook-heavy synth-pop and indie-pop sounds led some in the press to dub her "Norway's new queen of electro-pop". She continues in a similar, if arguably more refined, style on sophomore album How To Let Go, a set recorded during the pandemic and full to bursting with songs inspired by love, loss and painful romantic break-ups. There's much to enjoy throughout, with highlights including the soaring 'Burning Bridges', the funky, post-punk influenced grandiosity of 'Thank Me Later', the disco-tinged 'Mirror' and the jangling, picturesque 'Mistake Like You'.
