What’s this? Over the weekend on The Voice of Norway, two contestants took on Ask Embla’s seminal ‘Einn’ for their battle/duel/thing. Mari Solberg versus Øyvind Boye Løvold.
What was it like? Pretty damn awesome. TV talent shows when they’re at their absolute best. Maybe don’t watch it if you’re hungover and feeling a bit fragile and/or emotional. We made that mistake! Oh the shame…..
Who won the battle in the end? We’re not gonna spoil that one for you! It’s a very close one. Watch until the end.
What was the original like? If you’re not familiar with it, you need to check it out right now. Listen to Arnthor Birgission and Ina Wroldsen’s original here. After the show, their ‘Einn’ (which was never released as a single, but contained on their ‘Northern Lights’ album) went straight into the Top 10 on Norwegian iTunes.
