Want to know what Norwegian folk music sounds like in 2025?
The dance song "Calling You" is perhaps the roughest thing Mathilde SPZ has released, but don't be fooled by the hard synths in the drop, because the lyrics are full of longing and hurt: The song was written a couple of years ago when the artist and her partner were traveling a lot and saw little of each other, and is a reflection of long nights in strange beds, phone calls that went to answering machine due to time differences and the nagging longing to be in each other's arms. The song originally started with a "kulokk" (an old Norwegian singing technique for luring the cows back home) as an idea, which can be heard in the chorus's hook line where Mathilde sings "Kom til meg, kom til meg" trying to call back her lover in Norwegian. The combination of lyrics in English and Norwegian is not new for the artist, as she did the same in her MGP performance in 2024, but this time she stands alone on the mountaintops, shouting and standing firm in perhaps her roughest Dance song yet.
