We will play that one.ĬDM: The “I was just being polite” bit is so sassy, I love it. Can you pretty please play it in New Zealand? That’s probably my favourite.ĬDM: I watched a live video of ‘Credit’ and it’s SUCH a jam. I think ‘In Vain’ is probably my favourite song, because it’s very weird - it’s a weird build-up song, you don’t expect the drop at the end to come. SIGRID: The ones you mentioned, I really like playing them. We talked about how we’re going to get a reunion at the festival.ĬDM: You’ve been playing a lot of new songs recently - such as ‘In Vain’, ‘Raw’, and ‘Doing You A Favour’ - are there any new songs that you’re particularly excited about playing at the moment? We just finished touring with them in Europe, and that was really fun. SIGRID: Oh yeah! I remember that, we talked about this actually. SIGRID: I haven’t gotten the chance to check it out yet, do you have any inside information?
So yes, I’m super excited to come visit over there.ĬDM: You’re playing Auckland City Limits festival, are you familiar with any of the other artists on the line-up? SIGRID: I can’t wait! Yes! I’ve heard the nature is incredible. Are you excited to visit NZ for the first time ever? You, or we, shouldn’t play by rules that were made several years ago - it’s time to change those kinds of norms.ĬOUP DE MAIN: So Aurora played in New Zealand at the beginning of the year, Astrid S was just here, and now you’re coming next March! The Norwegian pop artists are really making their mark in New Zealand - and we’re so super excited to see you live. I hope that songs like ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ for instance, can inspire people to do that. With an impending New Zealand visit planned (as part of Auckland City Limits Festival next March), we spoke with Sigrid about her ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ EP, her upcoming visit to our shores, and her unreleased music… But then someone asked me if it was about an ex-boyfriend, and I said, “No! It’s not!” Then I felt like I needed to tell the story.Since captivating listeners around the world with her commanding debut single ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’, Norwegian singer Sigrid has continued to astound with her follow-up releases - the sassy ‘Plot Twist’ and ‘Fake Friends’, and the more stripped back ‘Dynamite’, which all together make up the EP. I didn’t want to out anyone or be unnecessarily mean because, of course, it is a ‘fuck you’ song. I originally didn’t plan on telling the story behind that song. I didn’t say anything and that annoyed me even more because I thought I was the type of person to always let people know when things weren’t ok. At the end I wondered why they had even invited me to the session if they weren’t interested in my opinion as an artist. I felt like my opinions weren’t respected and there were a few comments that I didn’t really like. I was in a writing session that was, let’s say, difficult. I totally got that they might not be excited to work with me, but they didn’t have to be rude! They made me feel like I was in the way, like they just wanted to go home to their TVs and their kids. In a conversation for i-D magazine, Sigrid said the song is about the time she was put in a writing session with some middle aged who killed her vibe:
