I just received this cd, and instantly it has become my favorite. There isn't a bad song on it. I loved the fact that you did not have to "get used" to any of the songs before you liked them.
Great CD, I highly recommend it. Good job Kurt!
March 11, 2008 |  | Great Album from a Great Norwegian Artist |  |
I have bee his fan since he won the Norwegian Idol and I must say that he is really transforming into a much better artist---not just as a singer but as a songwriter.
I really love this album and the songs in it. Of course, Kurt's voice is very soothing to the ear and makes you crave for more....
I especially liked the song "No Excuse" ("....can you forget about it and move on") and "A Part of Me" ("...a part of me is left home..it's never ever coming back..") .
To the one who is going to buy this CD...you will never regret it because it worth listening for!

As many other reviewers, I'm enjoying this album better than the first. Kurt's voice is excellent on both albums, but this time around we find a singer-songwriter putting his heart into it. Every song here is written or co-written by Nilsen, a bit less radio-friendly album, but with more depth than the first, these songs just seems more true to who Kurt is (at least from what I can gather about him). The production is often stripped down this results in a better, albeit less commercially successful album.

I was really taken by Kurt during the televised World Idol competition on TV and pursued his first CD very persistently until I was finally able to get it (it wasn't available in the US for a long time). I really liked it a lot. But I love this album. The first one was excellent pop music. This one is personal. Listening to the mournful words and delicate, sad melodies, I had a feeling something had gone wrong in Kurt's personal life to generate these tunes. On his website, a note near the bottom states that Kurt's relationship of 11 years with the mother of his two children didn't make it through his rise to world notice. He has turned his personal grief into beautiful, moving music that continues to pull me; I listen to this album just about every day and I am not the kind of person that usually does that. I just keep wanting to hear these lovely songs one more time. And Kurt's voice...well, if you're bothering to read this far, maybe you, too, are already a fan of his incredible voice. He has a unique tone that just kills me and he knows how to use it; he is so expressive and seems in total control of the effects he's creating with his voice. I just love him. Can't say enough good things about this album.
February 23, 2006This is a great album. I liked Kurt's first CD but this is very, very good. I think Kurt's found his element. His voice is in great form and he sounds extremely comfortable singing his songs. Recommended buy.
