In Norway, where the musical diet consists almost entirely of white rock&roll, an artist such as Ole Børud is indeed a welcoming spice. With one leg planted in American west coast-music, and the other in soul and funk, his debut album, Shakin.. the Ground, will shake the country’s musical fundament, and most importantly, the dance floor. The album, however, is not merely a defining musical moment on these latitudes: Shakin.. the Ground sounds unique by any standards, and showcases an abundance of musical qualities that are rarely heard these days.

Ole Børud is far from a newcomer in the Norwegian music scene. Few artists are as widely experienced. Starting his singing career at the age of five, Ole appeared on his first record already the year after. From the age of sixteen, he has been a full-time musician, both singing and playing guitar, with numerous bands and artists in a variety of genres and settings. Ole has toured every continent, and starred on almost twenty album releases, ranging from the gospelgroup Arnold B Family to the internationally acclaimed metal band Extol.

His musical résumé also includes national luminaries as Sofian and Torun Eriksen, and he has shared the stage with international artists such as Andrae Crouch. Shakin.. the Ground is Ole Børud’s debut as a solo artist. His music is a result of his diverse background, and is just as exciting. Close harmonies and sophisticated arrangements bears proof of his love for 70s west coast, whereas the rhythms are deeply rooted in funk and R&B. The album is in many ways a musical encounter between west coast sunshine and a gritty east coast urbanity, where you can hear inspiration from artists as different as Steely Dan and D..angelo. But what really gives the album its distinctive stamp, is Ole Børud’s incomparable voice: As crystal clear as it is funky, it leaves a unique personal signature, carrying the tunes with nerve, heart and soul. With some of the best Norwegian musicians in the band, the stage is set for one of the most groundshaking musical experiences of the year.

Comment by David Lucarotti on May 21, 2011 at 11:42pm: Ole is just fantastic, he's a great singer and musician, a very smart composer, combining the most complex westcoast style with funky roots delivering a clever blend of modern, vintage, and groovy music.

Comment by Tony Onstad on May 11, 2011 at 12:59am: Yeah--he's one of these genius talents that don't come along often--just blew me away the second I heard him--it looks like a new "blue-eyed soul"[(or "hazel-eyed soul"..lol)]movement could really gain ground from Norway--very exciting stuff to look forward to!!!
