On "Things You Leave Behind" Rebekka Bakken opts for all three of these possibilities: she loves life so much she experiences it in constant change and lets go of whatever wants to leave. The passage of time and things - elemental for her songs.
"Things You Leave Behind" presents Rebekka Bakken as an extraordinarily mature singer and songwriter. The album title marks both a new beginning and a retrospective and stands for music that experiences its future in the here and now. It is her personal liberation and a general slap in the face of critics and other unconscientious objectors.
Today's tune "True North" is a deeply sad ballad but wonderfully performed during the Beethoven Project "Vienna 2020 - Capital of Music" for the Vienna Tourist Board under the musical direction of Aleksey Igudesman and with his and Rebekka Bakken's participation. Performance footage was shot on stage at the Museumsquartier in Vienna. Enjoy!
