Crush

I already know

 

that this necklace

..will get me through all sorts of days. Through slow, grey days and through those days I don’t want to end.

Oh, how very practical of me ;)

 

New week tomorrow. It freaks me out a bit,  can’t we pause things for just a while..? I’m not sure I’m able to keep up.

But okay.. Monday, was it?  Bring it!

 

Love,

C

Come what may

Longer days. Lighter days. Sunlight and a big moon.

 

 

Great food and great company. The best of combinations.

 

 

 

When you need sunglasses inside your apartment..You’ve done good :)

 

Thanks for a lovely evening!

Paths

I made a visit to the studio where my two previous albums were recorded. Soo weird being back again! A tremendous amount of time is spent there over the years.. Good to see the place where the songs once began. An essential part of me.

 

Tracking vocals.

Levels.

Recording with Goran, such a great guy!

 

I recorded a song, but I can’t tell too much about it yet. It’s called “Leave”.  Hopefully you’ll hear it sometime in the future! :)

 

Love,

C

 

Where I feel free

 

I wanted to show you the place I’ve fallen completely in love with. It’s where I’ve been working and writing, it’s where the new album will be recorded.

 

 

Love,

C

When the light dies out

 

It felt so wrong

Dying in your arms

Just to keep you

 

Could we belong

In one another’s arms

And see this through

 

Is this not worth

This heart that bleeds

on my sleeve

Oh how I miss you

 

When the light dies out

Will we see nothing

As we slip away

from each other

 

Is it just for now

This sinking feeling of

Losing what we have

 

Is this not worth

This heart that bleeds

on my sleeve

Oh how I miss you

 

 

Love,

C

 

 

All laugh and play

I played at an event with my favourite guitarist, Ørnulv, the other day. The audience came from all over the world, so I explained that his name is Eaglewolf in English. Eaglewolf!! Yes, a strong name for a strong man.. ;)

 

 

Eaglewolf himself!

 

Dessert for two between soundcheck and showtime!

 

Coffeeeee..

 

 

Honey, honey.

Gentleman-gear.

 

 

 

Soon

Oslo is so grey, rainy and quiet these days.  I want sunshine, long nights and time together with my best friends! But I have my little everyday highlights as well:

 

Blue skies under the raindrops.

I found a rainbow on the floor.

 

Mmmm&m’s.

Having lunch at a french restaurant where they ask if you’d like dessert. Yes, please.

 

 

Christel on The Vampire Diaries

I’ve got great and crazy news for you!! My song, “When the light dies out” has been featured on “The Vampire Diaries”, season 3! The episode is called “Heart of darkness” and after about 37 minutes you can hear me sing the entire song..!

The episode was aired last night in the states. Hope you liked it!! Click HERE to watch a small clip!

 

 

Love,

Tromsø

I had the best time up north together with fantastic artists (Susanna Wallumrød, Maria Haukaas Mittet, Aggie Frost and Anneli Drecker from Bel Canto), musicians and people. We did three covers each, I chose “I think it’s gonna rain today”, “Big yellow taxi” and Kathy’s song”. And again; absolutely amazing to sing live with an orchestra behind me.

Arriving the rehearsals with Tromsø Chamber Orchestra.

 

Lunch! Love roomservice..!

Getting ready for the first of three shows! It was fun and inspiring to hang out with other vocalists and not “just” my regular band. Exchanging vocal tips, stories and generally laughing a lot. :)

 

Aggie listening to her rehearsal tape.

 

I grew up listening to Bel Canto. My big brother played their music so loud from his room that I didn’t really have a choice! :)

 

Susanna.

 

 

Pictures from the premiere.

Celebrating after the final show, saturday night.

 

Happy me!

Slightly starstruck of  the lovely Susanna. (From Susanna and the Magical Orchestra). I adore her music.

 

Thanks for a wonderful stay, Tromsø!

 

Love,

C

 

 

North

 

 

 

I’ve just dropped by Oslo for one day before heading up north once again. From my Easter holiday with my family to 3 concerts in Tromsø. Excited about singing with an orchestra!

 

I’ve got a very early flight tomorrow morning..Sleep tight!

 

Love,
