About Me |
|
"a remarkably accomplished debut" Recommended Album! – Q MAGAZINE "Lush and intoxicating... great album" – THE SUNDAY TIMES "Kate is the missing link between Björk, Goldfrapp and Air" – WHAT'S ON LONDON "irresistible music" – MUSIC WEEK “gorgeous, melodic voice with an ear for both beats and orchestration” Album of the week!! – URB “a solid amount of challenging individuality” - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “a glowing, mostly electronic set…moving swiftly from gorgeous strings that wail like sirens to Havnevik's breathy, meditative melisma” – SPIN “captivating, euphoric Nordic sound” – FILTER “Weedy boys and dreamy girls will melt at these soaring epics and potential Bond themes” - THE LONDON PAPER “Gorgeous” - NEW YORK POST “impressive album with a fresh sound …what a debut this is!” - HEARD “a breathtaking sonic landscape” - ARJAN WRITES "advanced piece of music" – Nic Harcourt, KCRW “…overseas favorite Kate Havnevik will prove that she has staying power here in the States with Melankton. The Scandinavian beauty's debut album is more fearless than it is dark – a bold assembly of dramatic musical elements…” – ZINK “Melankton would be an impressive achievement for an artist in mid-career form, but as a debut, it stands as just one more amazing accomplishment that Kate Havnevik will have to try to surpass…” – AMPLIFIER “Kate's angelic voice compliments the full sound of her piano, guitar and programmed electronica, creating emotional, sweeping tunes” – VOGUE “a raven-coiffed flower housing an otherworldly voice that soars with a loveliness that cannot be contained” – SENTIMENTALIST “Havnevik wraps herself in otherworldly fashions and send audience into meditative states with her whirling-dervish vocals” – MP3.COM “emotionally charged mood album that resonates with a subtle sonic beauty” – GLIDE “I haven't heard an album this lyrically inspiring since Björk's Medulla release” – ELECTRO PLANKTON “Washed in a sultriness that could launch a dozen Bond films, Kate's luxurious voice floats over Icelandic jazz symphonies lit by lavish strings and subtle trip-hop beats. Slowly roasting dance-floor torch songs, Melankton whips existential speculation into alluring propositions for a sensual banquet whose angelic delivery is graced with devilish metaphysics” – MAXIMUM INK “Kate Havnevik has a unique voice, which explores both the very deep and high reaches of her extraordinary vocal range. Her music is melodic, occasionally dramatic, but always very cool. With a touch of programming mixed with conventionally recorded instruments she creates the perfect soundscape to dress her songs and voice.” – SF STATION .. |
