Sigrid "Dynamite" AMAZING Performance! REACTION & BREAKDOWN by Modern Life for the 70's Mind

[@oddgeirramsli8918]

What I love about the Norwegian girls --- they make there own music...

[@timgrodesky4694]

Sigrid is a close friend of Aurora. She has a great vibe in her music and worth exploring.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi Tim. You'll defiinitely be seeing me react to more of her songs.

[@henningmathiassen412]

You are spot on. If you would like to hear more from Sigrid in this style, please react to Home to you.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hey Henning. I'll definitely add that to the list. Thanks so much for listening!

[@chriso6719]

So, put the dog at the front door and give it the phone as a chew toy. That should solve most of your distractions. 🤣 First time hearing this girl for me too. Really liked her voice, especially when she added that little bit of grit near the end.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hey Chris. I literally have a basket FULL of bones, toys and every other dog play thing that you can think of. She's an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix and she flat out loves me. There's no escaping her! LOL I hope you found Sigrid as amazing as I did. I'll definitely be doing some more reactions on her. Stay tuned.

[@tommonsen965]

This my favourit off her's, love this strip down version her voice an piano ; )

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

I got lucky and picked the right one. FINALLY!!!! LOL

[@poolhallshark]

Of course I liked this reaction. And I'm super happy to see that you reacted the way you did, too. I was kinda hoping that, based off of the other Norwegian artists that you have liked so far. Sigrid write all of her material, and this one is indeed from her brain. I believe there is another song out there by the same name, by a rather famous artist, but I can't recall by whom. This song is a bit different from Sigrid, as she's mostly in the pop genre, but the sucker for voices that I am, I'm still enjoying listening to her voice and watching her energy. She's a VERY genuine artist, as you will see. This is not to say that her pop stuff isn't good, because it really is. It's just not my preferred genre so to speak. Sigrid is another artist from Norway that goes somewhat beneath the radar. Underrated if you will. Gotta go now, but I'll talk to you soon. Have a great Sunday ! Norway out :-)

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi. I think I'm kinda like you. I really pay attention to the vocals and maybe less closer to the song itself. After all, a good voice is a good voice no matter what you're singing. ...a great song DOES help though. LOL

[@emelless5365]

Loved it Bob.First time hearing Sigrid.Just read all the comments and learned she wrote this song, and that would explain her connection to the song and emotion.I enjoyed it,thanks.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

This was such an emotional song...especially when it's written all over her face. Great song. Thanks so much for listening!

[@steinarthomassen3251]

Then you have another norsk singer from me..Sissel Kyrkebø..god luck..😊👌🌹

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Yes, she is also on my long list for Norway (they now have a separate list of their own). I'm really going to have to start paying attention to other countries at some point. LOL

[@ysteindrge8394]

Sondre Lerche ft. Aurora with Alone in the night would Also be nice! kzbin.info/www/bejne/joSuYnWqbrRjhtk

Absolutely awesome recommendation!!

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Yep, someone also mentioned that. I'll definitely be doing that as well. Bob loves Norway! LOL

[@hatai]

THIS!

[@tomwhite4736]

I don't know what's in the water in Norway Bob , but yes sigrid is a amazing Young talented lady , and a beautiful person. she came to my attention around 2 years ago , her voice is so unique , you have seen nothing yet Bob. not all her songs are like this, she is very versatile , she is a great mover /dancer .but not in the conventional sense. she is poppy but not cheesy.she has a unique sound. DYNAMITE was co written by sigrid with 2 others including the producer.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hey Tom. That song just blew me out of the water. I was thinking in the back of my mind that she would be just another singer that was maybe a step or two below the other. Definitely not so at all. I am so darn impressed with her singing. Just beautiful!

[@tomwhite4736]

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind ok bob. Yea she is a talent but spoiler alert , as I've said she is poppy but not cheesy, some of her stuff reminds me of ALANIS MORISSETTE, you know jagged little pill.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

@@tomwhite4736 That was a CLASSIC album! She was at her best when she was angry! LOL One of my favorite songs of her is kind of an odd one. It's called Knees of my Bees. I like the version she did live. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Ouq4lsd9R3pKs It's comes up around the 27 minute mark. For some reason, I like it.

[@tomwhite4736]

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind oh I see Bob, press finger on screen /slide to get time Lol . enjoyed it all Bob, sigrid not as angry ,but some tunes remind me of Alanis. anyway dug her album out , 1995, where has the time gone.? You're doing a great job Bob.

[@themetricsystem7967]

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind hi, here I am 9 months later, so you might have reacted to Ane Brun’s “Last breath” already. If not, I suggest you do. Brun is her stage name, her real surname is Brunvoll

[@bjornbear6856]

Great reaction! I love Sigrid, Aurora and more and I'm an old metalhead.... You should also check out the band Kalandra from Norway. They are amazing!!! Music and lyrics are totaly their own style. Kalandra Songs: Borders, The Waiting game, Slow motion, Brave new world, With you (unplugged) They will amaze you.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Every time I put out a reaction to someone from Norway (and I think that I'm finally getting a handle on everyone) people like you have to throw out yet another name! LOL Too funny. I'll look into it. I love metal music. I did a reaction to an Alice in Chains song today, but it got blocked. I disputed it and hope that it will clear in 30 day. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[@bjornbear6856]

Kalandra did a cover for Helvegen which is also absolutely fantastic kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWfFqmyZoZdnedk. Maybe you here have an opportunity for a double reaction? Tip: Put on subtitles (the Wardruna one has it) and try to interpret the text. Keep up the great work, skål!

[@hildenordgarden3490]

Have you reacted to Susanne Sundfør? She is the queen of Norwegian music. I suggest "The brothel", "Turkish delight" or "Undercover". For a start.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

She's probably the next Norwegian artist that I'll react to. Thanks.

[@nordicsailor2694]

.... or White Foxes (live, Peace Prize concert)

[@musicisfeelings6150]

Hi, Modern Life for the 70's Mind, thank you for a very nice reaction. You are expressive yourself:) You picked the right one to start to know her. The recording was done in her parents home! She does conserts in US the 4' and 6' of april this year, The fonda Theatre, LA and Brooklyn Steel, Brooklyn. Her pop-music is a kind of different from the mainstream and sometimes it needs several listenings. She has released two EP’s and the debut album Suckerpunch in 2019. Sigrid (25 - norwegian) won the BBC sound of 2018 (synth-pop!). Other winners from the past: Adele, 50 cent, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding... She is the first artist outside UK and America to win the award. Her songs can be vulnerable and an explosion of feelings. Her concerts are known for «feeling good vibes» and energy on the stage. Her music is empowering, and she is just being herself….in jeans most of the time! Sigrid has released three new songs from her new upcoming album the 6’ of may this year: Mirror, Burning bridges and the latest It gets dark Sigrid - Mirror - KZbin (Funfact: US: Sigrid scores her first No. 1 on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart as "Mirror" shines atop the survey dated Sept. 4. She was very surprised!) Sigrid - Burning Bridges - KZbin Sigrid is known for upbeat songs. What’s interesting is that she often makes both an upbeat and acoustic version of the same song. That tells me she is something! Why not do both in one reaction and you will see the artist? Acoustic, a must! So different and beautiful. Video was taken at a street in London. I think you will love it. Sigrid - Burning Bridges (Up Close, Acoustic) - KZbin Sigrid - It Gets Dark - KZbin This one is a kind of different, more pop-rocky Other recommendations: Home to you ( It was part of the soundtrack in Motion Movie Aeronauts 2019) Sigrid - Home To You (Live on Stand Up To Cancer UK 2021) - KZbin Sigrid - RAW, video (85% acoustic) from EP 2017 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJzTqIOBj8eSkNE Live cover (just with her gitarist and co-singer) Bellyache, a cover of Bilie Eilish, P3 Session (Swedish radio) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOYZpmAjMt-jLc Live cover Watermelon sugar (Harry Styles) P3LIVE: Sigrid - «Watermelon sugar» (cover) - KZbin

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Wow, thanks for all of that. I'll definitely be doing more reactions to her songs. I really enjoyed Dynamite!

[@Something-ku9wc]

Great reaction. If you want more, her latest song "It gets dark" is a good one. Much of her music is synthpop, but this one has more of a rock sound. She also always does acoustic versions of her singles in addition. For this latest one, it is her with a piano just singing her heart out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGalY6Ccfbhgd9E The studio version, and official music video is more pop/rock sounding. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apuafXqDmJ6Nfbc

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Thanks! You'll definitely see me putting more reactions out on her. I really enjoyed her voice as well as the amazing song.

[@onlyme064]

Sigrid is great, and this is her original. Beautiful song and she has a great rasp in her voice.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

The rasp was awesome, right? I noticed that right away. I wasn't really expecting it by the way the song started. Amazing!

[@terjetroll920]

Kalandra next. whatever track. Entertaining videos (by Ragnarok, among others), supercool covers of Wardruna and Highasakite. My fav? haven't heard it yet, I hope. Susanne Sundfør, greatgreat as well.

Definitely Susanne. I think I already bookmarked one of her songs based on a bunch of requests.

[@RalphBellairs]

In Norwegian the 'd' is often silent, so they would pronounce it as "Sigri".

[@tmsvanes]

Believe you.😁 Always. A truly wonderful reaction to a wonderful song and performance. And a shout out to her song teacher, too, who persuaded her to keep on to her amazing raspiness when she doubted that quality in her voice. 😁. And....you're the man, Bob, even when it comes to pronouncing her name.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

LOL. I think the raspiness is what makes her voice so wonderful and unique. Was I even close on the pronunciation?

[@tmsvanes]

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind Oh, yes, certainly close enough. Often pronounced without the "d," but in some areas with the "d." And a fun fact: Sigrid appears shortly the the lovely little Aurora documentary "Nothing is eternal. " You should watch it, maybe react to it. Very nice and interesting.👍

Sigrid just announced the release of her second album in may this year. This girl truly is dynamite even on stage. Her conserts are great fun shows. Her big brake-through song was called "Don`t kill my wibe". And I give you this link for a live-performance of it from 2018. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmPEd5iOYq5op9E You`ll get a sence of what kind of artist she is.

[@geirjohansen810]

I watch a lot of reactions, and I can say your reaction was sincere 👍 You notice fast if anyone have watched it before and pretend they not or if their head are not there giving away a totally other vibe then the song would suggest 😄 Keep it up, maybe a bit high volume on your speaking since you already got such strong dark voice 😁

[@Minzon3]

Makes me wonder if you like our (norwegian) male musicians too. You should check out Sivert Høyem. He has both solo albums and band albums. Madrugada is the band name.

[@sclalars1]

Great reaction! Now that you are into these Norwegian girls, check out (as mention down below here) Susanne Sundfør - undercover live (Black and white version). She has a voice like no other. Her tone is just fantastic :) And after that her song : When The Lord. That is a song from the documentary of a great Norwegian photographer who suffered with anorexia. This one is gonna make you cry.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi. Thanks. I'll be doing a reaction to one of hers this week.

[@John-gv2ug]

Your Norwegian list isn't complete yet. You have Sissel Kyrkjebo still to come. Sissel sang the Olympic anthem at the Lillehammer Winter Olympics in 1994 and she has one of the most pristine voices you will ever hear. This is her rendition of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2LKmZ6Ge8dsZqc). I hope you can find the time to watch and enjoy it.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Sissel will be later this week. Thanks!

[@JohnBarnes88]

Great reaction as always. If you want more great norwegian vocalists to react to I can recomend Leprous and their song "Cast away angels."
