So I Write

The title track of So I Write opens the voice of Sidsel Endresen like a diary, acting as a portal into the Norwegian chanteuse’s lushly cinematic style of writing. Such an impression is suggested not only by titles like “This Is The Movie” but also in the careful way in which her bandmates—trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær, pianist Django Bates, and drummer Jon Christensen—film each song like a camera would a moving image. Whether in black and white (“Words”) or color (“Spring”), Endresen keeps her heart in center frame.
