Ane Brun

With her lilting vocals, theatrical arrangements, and delicate indie folk craft, Norwegian singer/songwriter Ane Brun (pronounced Ah-na Broon) is a chart-topping adult pop artist in her native Scandinavia. After making her international full-length debut with Spending Time with Morgan in 2003, she went to number one in her native Norway for the first time with the next year's A Temporary Dive. A regular on the charts in Norway and Sweden for years afterward, she went to number one again in Norway with 2008's Changing of the Seasons and 2011's It All Starts with One, her sixth studio album. Her eighth LP, Leave Me Breathless, reached the Top Three with reworkings of artists spanning Radiohead and Mariah Carey. She made another covers album, Portrayals, in 2023, which found her putting her unique, delicate spin on the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Rodgers & Hart, among others.
