Marit Larsen moved to New York to write music last fall and returned to Norway with a suitcase filled with songs. “Coming Home”, the first single off her new album, Spark, is set for release on October 17th.

After the success of The Chase (2008), chart toppers in Norway and Germany, hundreds of acoustic versions of “If A Song Could Get Me You” on countless German radio stations, touring, festivals and two years living out of a suitcase, Marit was not burnt out. Quite the opposite – she was ready to start working on her next album. She just needed some space to write new music.

“I felt a restlessness about the melodies I knew I had yet to write, and about the songs I felt were missing from my live sets. I get this itch that simply won’t abate until the song has been created.”

So Marit packed her suitcase and bought a single ticket to New York. She ended up staying seven months. “It felt good to be a bit isolated, to have time to take stock. Who was I when nobody was listening? What would I write when nobody was expecting anything? It felt good to realise that the music I wrote still had strong parallels to the material I had created before. It was an important trip, both on a personal level and for me as a songwriter.”

The first single, “Coming Home”, was written by Marit Larsen and produced by Kåre Vestrheim, who has worked on Larsen’s previous two studio albums. “We have collaborated better than ever. He is incredibly good at challenging me.”

Marit’s third studio album, Spark, is released on the 18th of November, tempting listeners with a refined sound and expressive, eloquent lyrics.
