Critically lauded in Norway and recent winner of a Spellemann award (Norwegian Grammy), as well as nominated for an Ameripolitan award, the record launched Pettersen’s immensely promising solo career with widespread touring as a result.</p> </div> </div><p class="has-text-align-left">Profoundly inspired by a trip to Nashville, which included a slot at The Station Inn with Lucky Lips for Americanafest, Pettersen returned to Norway with several songs ready to record. Wanting to do something wholly different from the band sound of her debut, she recorded a mini album all-alone in the studio. <em>Alonesome </em>showcases Pettersen’s compelling – and at the same time fragile – voice and unique musicianship.</p><p class="has-text-align-left">First single, the beautiful and mellow “Pause” is about the fear of failing to remember fond memories and experiences. More specifically, the fear of dementia, and the hope that if one was to start to forget everything after a certain point, at least let it be after you got to a good place in your life.</p><p class="has-text-align-left">The Ameripolitan nomination brought Pettersen back to Tennessee, and after the awards, she found time to record an entirely new album along with a handful of young Nashville cats, scheduled for 2020. But first up is the 6-song collection <em>Alonesome</em>. Previously, Malin has enjoyed support slots for artists such as Sam Outlaw, Whitney Rose and Joshua Hedley, as well as playing shows with JP Harris and performing at Nashville’s famed Honky Tonk Tuesdays at the American Legion. Having both made waves and new friends in Nashville, Malin’s momentum is still building. Look out for new tour dates, but first of all <em>Alonesome</em>.</p><hr class="wp-block-separator has-css-opacity"/><p class="has-text-align-left"><em>“<strong>Jangly and dusty western</strong> tune details her own “personal freedom” and anchors a forthcoming studio album.” – <a href="https://americansongwriter.com/malin-pettersen-hometown-song-premiere/">American Songwriter</a></em></p><p class="has-text-align-left"><em>“A sultry fusion of <strong>folksy Americana and modern country</strong>.” – <a href="https://fortheloveofbands.com/2020/06/02/in-case-you-missed-it-yes-please-malin-pettersen-ikiga-corella/">For the Love of Bands</a></em></p><p class="has-text-align-left"><em>“Delicate and scrumptious vocals and that <strong>honky-tonk Americana goodness</strong> that has garnered such love.” – <a href="https://comeherefloyd.com/malin-pettersen-shares-get-you-back-again-shows-us-what-can-be-in-a-song-in-this-song/">Come Here Floyd</a></em></p><p class="has-text-align-left"><em>“A tranquil finger-picked ballad.” – <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/message/dbxq3d/h63run">Americana Music Association</a></em></p><p class="has-text-align-left"><em>“Mixes Pettersen’s yearning voice with some airy, echoing production: the spaces between the notes are as wide-open as the narrator’s future.” – <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/country-songs-rs-picks-india-ramey-1015102/">Rolling Stone Country</a></em></p> </div></article>
