Here is a very good Radio 1 session by Emilie Nicolas

Norwegian singer Emilie Nicolas releases her debut album, Like A Warrior, in the UK on 5 July. It's already been a massive hit at home - winning the 27-year-old best pop singer and best newcomer at the Spellemannprisen (the Nordic Brits) last year.

The singer-songwriter studied at Oslo's Jazz Conservatory, but plays a gently powerful brand of Scandi-pop (which she records in a barn outside Oslo). Of particular note is the current single Pstereo - a cover of the Dum Dum Boys' single, which Emilie translated into English.

Her promo tour for the album stopped off at Radio 1's Maida Vale Studios last night, and the resulting three-song session is a thing of wonder. Listen below:


If you're visiting this page in mid-July, when the above audio expires, you'll have to listen to the studio version of Pstereo instead.
