Thursday music corner: Norwegian singer-songwriter Jenny Hval (b.1980) studied in and joined bands in Melbourne, before returning to Norway to a career as a musician, artist and writer. She released two albums as Rockettothesky in 2006 and 2008, followed by nine albums to date under her own name, including the two most recent releases on 4AD Records. Hval has also published four novels, two of which have been translated into English.
A Ballad appears on Hval's most recent album, Iris Silver Mist, issued in May 2025. The experimental art-pop album was named after a French perfume, and was described by Mojo magazine as 'an exquisite, sometimes spectacular achievement rich with emotive resonance'.
