Morbid Latenight Show [US]

by Heather PharesNorwegian dance-pop diva Bertine makes her debut with Morbid Latenight Show, a sophisticated fusion of her classically trained voice and her interest in world and electronic music. The album balances her mainstream pop appeal on tracks like "Apples and Diamonds" and "Getting Out" with her hip, pancultural sound on "Snow on a Hot Day," "Butcher's Son" and the title track. Sensual and accessible, Morbid Latenight Show introduces a new face -- and a new twist -- to the Scandinavian pop tradition.
