Kate Havnevik is a Norwegian musician residing in London, in the pursuit of musical success with the release of her debut album, Melankon. Creating her own record label in the UK, this is the outlet for her music, and she is swiftly moving into the land of artist recognition. Melankon consists of smooth, liquid melodies, accompanied with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra and a touch of electronic programming, creating an addictive soundscape for the listener.

Her musical influences are comprised of Jeff Buckley, Beck and Radiohead, which leads her music to feel slightly similar to that of Bjork, yet not so full of sharp melodic sounds – more vocally similar to that of Evanescence and Tori Amos, with a similarly structured sound to Gotye. For this album she joined up with Guy Sigworth (Madonna/Bjork) to accompany the production of four songs, and has recently been hooking up with the likes of Moby and Noel Hogan (The Cranberries) for future ongoing projects. She will be featuring on three albums this year, so listen out for her.

Melankon is a wondrous, rich production, full of creative vibes from Kate. I believe she’s going to climb the ranks of alternative female artists. A surprisingly great listen.
